Agree with you Britannist this push for EU in or out vote by Ming is a political ruse to not only distance Lib/Dems from Cons and Lab but make the anti-EU parties panic just a little bit. It's not just Brown who can manipulate honest politics.
But, let's face it, neither Cameron nor Brown would dare go to the country on this issue. People now distrust politicians so much that the mere fact that the big three shout support for staying in will send voters rushing to the polls to vote out.
This is not a time for the anti-EU parties to bottle out and shout 'too early'! Now's the time to stand up and get on the band wagon - the majority of Britons want a vote (whether or not they want in or out) so our duty is to supprt them. It will stand us all in good stead later.
