HAS Greg Heathcliffe been watching the same news as me, or have I got it wrong? It is my understanding that David Cameron has given up on Lisbon and will only legislate to avoid any future powers being devolved to Europe. This is a complete cop out and avoids the issue and certainly doesn’t give us the cast iron guarantee of a referendum. I shall have to think very seriously about who gets my vote next year now as I feel I don’t know what the Conservatives stand for any more.
