On the old political principal to never have a referendum when the vote is going to go against you, the politicos are going to cook up an excuse to go back on their promises. So many past promises, so much hot air. And they wonder why the public is disillusioned with political parties! Political manifestos - no wonder no one ever gives them the time of day! But at least we know how the Tories and the LD's say they stand. How does the Laurel and Hardy act on Labour's front bench stand? Seems to depend on which day you ask them, or which fag packet they are reading off the back of.
