The European Constitution and the BBC

The BBC here have done a fair job representing part of what was said by the Scrutiny Committee, for more detail please refer to my previous post. I do like the way that they report "Europe Minister Jim Murphy said: "The reform treaty is significantly different to the old constitutional treaty in intent, form and substance."" Is there any way that these New Labour ****s will ever tell the public the truth? His Government's own Labour dominated Committee said "we do not consider that references to abandoning a 'constitutional concept' or 'constitutional characteristics' are helpful and consider that they are even likely to be misleading in so far as they might suggest the Reform Treaty is of lesser significance than the Constitutional Treaty. We believe that the Government must offer evidence if it is to assert that the processes are significantly different."

Stop being "unhelpful" and "misleading" Jim.

The aforementioned BBC page has a poll question - "Should there be a referendum on the EU treaty?" Currently it reports Yes - 81.61%, No - 15.96% and Not Sure - 2.43% on 3,992 votes cast. Are you listening to the public Gordon?
