European Union (Amendment) Bill

I understand the right hon. Gentleman’s argument, but I have the text of the 2005 Labour party manifesto. The argument for the referendum was made not because it was a constitution, but because of what the constitution did. The manifesto states:"““The Treaty sets out what the EU can do and what it cannot.””" It then lists the very things that the Lisbon treaty will allow the EU to do. Is the right hon. Gentleman’s argument slightly off, because it does not seem to agree with the manifesto?
