We were never going to get a vote on the matter with or without the whip not least because i think most mp's realised if they gave us one and we voted to leave it wouldn't be long before other countries would demand the same vote. Whole thing stinks to high hell and this is one more nail in any faith i had in this government to actually do any good rather then repeat the past ad infinitum  . |
Any party when in opposition will take a stance on a variety of topics that are in the public eye at the time and are the opposite of what the present government are pursuing .They promise much and then when in power change their tune.The EU is always one of those issues that an incoming government changes stance on, Tory or Labour.
I do not and never have expected ANY party that said it would have a referendum when it wins an election to actually organise a vote on the EU.
IF they did it would be worded in such a way that we would still end up with a vote to stay in the EU.
