Lisbon - A Betayal of the Political Classes

I am still trying to work out why a referendum on UK membership of the EU is a bad thing and why we are villifying the liberals for proposing it. One thing the Lisbon 'Treaty' House of Commons debacle has surely proven is that we cannot trust Parliament to get us out of this mess.

The Conservatives are constantly fighting a rear guard action on the EU,debating the layout of the deckchairs on the EU Titanic whilst it is sinking fast.Are they merely embarrassed that the liberals have exposed their precarious and untenable position on the EU?

I want a vote on UK membership on the EU and a vast majority of Conservative voters do too.
