"Yes, but the Labour Party have a history of "promising a referendum""

That was in respect to the adoption of the proposed EU constitution which would have required ratification by ALL the EU states. As this had been already rejected by the (I think) Danish referendum, the expense of holding a referendum in the UK which, if it had been passed, would have made no difference would have just been a waste of money and acheive nothing except gratifying the UKIP lowlife.

Of course, anyone who still wanted to go ahead with what was by then a pointless referendum, they could have easily paid for it out of their own pockets. The government did exactly the right thing by not WASTING my taxes.

Labour never promised any other refwredum.
