Did England go along to get along? If so, was it the Blair administration of his successor?

I think labour (Blair) promised a referendum before the elections, but Gordon Brown has broken that pledge.

Someone correct me if I am wrong.

I guess Labour’s argument is that this new treaty (Lisbon) is not longer a constitution, thus no pledge has been broken.

Cheeky bastards.

Cheers.

England hasn't had a referendum, for the full and sufficient reason that it would be rejected out of hand.

Think "stealth government" and you won't be far wrong.
