Don't be so disingenuous, Nigel. Any party that voted against a referendum would have been instant toast and you know it. You don't do realpolitik, do you?

Thanks for the confirmation. So if any party voting against holding a referendum "would be toast" you obviously accept that it wasn't just a ploy by the coalition, but a response to a perceived requirement of the electorate.

I may not do "realpolitik". I prefer to do realism.
