GC I am a little confused with regard to your assessment. Brown will not hold a referendum period. Even if the JR goes Wheelers way, and I certainly hope it does. (by the way UKIP took the first court case in Brighton, not supported by the Tories), the Government cannot be directed to hold a Referendum. The court can only refer it back for HMG to reconsider it's position. I cannot see any political gain in this for Brown. The people will vote NO at any Referendum on the RT, that is a certainty, this will force Brown into an in/out election which will benefit Cameron, he will then be let off the hook. Although all 3 main parties may have a hard job justifying staying in if UKIP and other groups do their jobs properly. We know Cameron will not hold a retrospective Referendum if elected. I fail to understand your reference in this context to Turkey.
