Proceeding contribution from Chris Huhne (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 5 March 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee of the Whole House (HC) on European Union (Amendment) Bill.
European Union (Amendment) Bill
It is not, but I was listening with great interest to the hon. Gentleman’s pick-and-mix attitude to the Labour party manifesto. Perhaps he missed my hon. Friend the Member for Kingston and Surbiton (Mr. Davey) pointing out that polling evidence shows that our policy is more popular than any other on referendums. Indeed, it is twice as popular, not only with Liberal Democrats but with the whole of the public. If the hon. Gentleman wants a popular referendum, he should go for the in-out referendum, not his half-baked one.
