Freedom of speech, Labour style.

From the BBC:

"Lib Dem frontbencher Edward Davey has been ordered out of the Commons, after angry protests to the deputy speaker.
Mr Davey was annoyed at the decision not to allow MPs to debate and vote on a Lib Dem call for a referendum to be held on the UK's membership of the EU.

Deputy Speaker Sir Michael Lord acted after Mr Davey defied warnings. Fellow Lib Dems then walked out in support.

The Lib Dems support the EU treaty and the membership of the EU. They oppose a referendum on the treaty itself."


Of course it is those last two sentences that are key here. The Lib Dems have renaged on their promise to hold a referendum on the EU Constitution/Treaty and are now muddying the waters further by demanding a referendum on membership instead.
