Default Debate on European treaty splits Labour

http://www.timesonline.co.uk/newspap...372423,00.html
Quote:
A ROW broke out among Labour MPs over the wisdom of debating ratification of the European constitution in the run-up to the general election.

The European Union Bill announced yesterday would accept the constitutional treaty INTO phpbb_British law, subject to a referendum expected in early 2006. It will include the precise question to be posed in the referendum but is unlikely to contain the date.
Quote:
Ian Gibson, the Labour MP for Norwich North, said: “We expected this legislation to be in the Queen’s Speech but there is no need to introduce it before the election. We do not need this divisive debate now. Let’s avoid damaging splits and put winning the third term above the EU constitution.”
This is absolutely disgraceful behaviour. Politics before country once again. Labour show their true colours without the slightest bit of shame.

Quote:
Ian Davidson, MP for Glasgow Pollok, added: “Labour MPs will want this issue off the agenda in the run-up to the elections. A Labour third term comes first. ”
Not one, but two of them at it.

Quote:
But Chris Bryant, chairman of the Labour Movement for Europe, said: “There are so many myths doing the rounds about the EU constitutional treaty that a comprehensive and early parliamentary debate is vital. The country deserves the right to look at these issues in depth.”
At least one of them has the decency to suggest that it is the issue that matters, not the Labour party.

Why don't they just tell the public that they will give everyone a million pounds, and then make up some excuse for not doing it when they get in power. This is almost the level we are reaching now!
