    Its attitudes like the one displayed in this post that will give the In campaign comfort during the EU debate.... Rather than dismissing peoples concerns, it would be far better to understand and address them honestly.

    A good reason to vote Yes: to stop British expats in Spain being forced to return to the UK.

    Disraeli Well on the same scenario even more than the 100 or so Labour MPs who voted against Blair on Iraq would have rebelled before your scenario comes into play, but regardless of whether he was embarrassed as Leader of the Opposition or even lost a no confidence vote in a Tory minority government he could have won a subsequent election anyway against, say new Labour leader Gordon Brown and he may even have done a deal with the LDs after they supported him on Iraq

    @HYUFD Fascinating counterfactual, and interesting discussion.
    Too tired to continue (to the universal relief of everyone!)
    Goodnight and best regards,
    Disraeli

    Yep, sport. The golf all evening in our house... I suffered in silence rather than air my usual vocal complaints because it was Father's Day.. :)

    (in response to various comments from people in the Previous Thread)

    (1) Party logos have been on ballot papers since 1999, not since 1983

    (2) There were many people who expressed concern at the large Labour majority in 2005 when Labour only got 35% of the votes.

    (3) The Labour majority in 2005 was 66, not "160+".
