Lord Strathclyde said:
"This astonishing vote will arouse deep suspicion in the minds of the public in view of the broken promises from Labour and Liberals over a referendum on the Constitutional Treaty...It would be the easiest thing in the world for the government to have backed us in writing this commitment into law. After all, they claim it is their policy. There is something very fishy indeed about their refusal to do so."
Labour seem to be looking to cover their backs in various policy areas now that they have lost the support of the electorate. I predict many "tough decisions" will now be taken on the basis of a majority in the House of Commons rather than the popular will of the country.
