Perhaps it will help the Liberals to nail their colours to the mast if I say that their proposal is rather a good idea. Voters in my area are certainly able to take a referendum with two questions. The first would be on whether they wanted to leave the European Union, and my guess is that they would, overwhelmingly, say no. The second would be on whether they wanted the treaty or constitution, and my guess is that they would say no to that, too.
