Conservative Home report that:
"Over at The Guardian's Comment is free Open Europe's Neil O'Brien has unearthed a great quote from Nick Clegg from before the last General Election:
"The real reason, of course, why the government does not want to hold a referendum is the fear that it may lose ... Nothing will do more damage to the pro-European movement than giving room to the suspicion that we have something to hide, that we do not have the 'cojones' to carry out our argument to the people."
In Neil's must-read article he also dismisses Mr Clegg's argument for an in-out referendum:
"Most people in Britain don't want to see further centralisation of power in the EU - but at the same time they want to reform the EU, not leave it. Only offering people a polarising "in or out" referendum would be a dishonest attempt to push people into positions they don't hold.""
The Lib Dems as two faced as ever.
