Ann Scurfield, Let's have a vote on all decisions! Points of view, March 31, put forward all the specious reasons that this Government has given as to why we should not have the promised referendum on the Lisbon Treaty.

Please note this, Ann, this Government, in its manifesto, promised - yes promised - the people of this country a referendum on this treaty, which is exactly the same as the old constitution except that it's worded differently.

All the other member states regard this as being exactly the same as the old constitution.

So all people are asking is for the Government to keep its word
