If Only!

Madeline Bunting, writing in the Guardian CiF, on the Cameron/Clegg 'stitch-up' and quoting Julian Astle:

"Clegg and Cameron have developed a similar liberal critique of the current government – as too centralised, too big and too interfering – [they] committed their parties to the same challenge; to break decisively from Labour's top-down, centrally planned approach to governance and put real power back in the hands of the British people" (my emphasis)

So no need of a referendum then, we are leaving the EU. Just name the day so we can organise some street parties, with bonfires of all those bloody windmills and lamposts decorated with hanging politicans and quangocrats!
