I will, but not immediately. I want to answer one point before moving to another.
I believe that the Liberal Democrats are being deliberately evasive about not reaching a decision on a yes-no referendum, and wanting to pose the question in terms of in or out. It is a bit like answering the question, ““Are you a man or a mouse?”” with, ““I am a hamster.”” It is a deliberate distortion of the options available. Where does the Liberal party stand on yes/no? If we agree to hold a referendum, what will the Liberals do in the country? Will they advise their supporters simply to abstain?
