“An EU gender expert”? – is what exactly? A chicken sexer?

You are back to mixing Europe & the EU again – but don’t you think if Brown thought he had a reasonable chance of winning a referendum on the Lisbon Constitution he would have gone for it? He didn’t because he knew he’d lose – spectacularly. Nothing on that front has changed – if your chums in the room with the strange wallpaper think differently they are deluded.

regards
geoff

The reason for their confidence that a referendum will have the outcome they want is based on their simple strategy for ensuring agreement. They keep on asking the same question again and again until they get the answer they want and while the process grinds on and on, they make more and more outrageous promises and tel lie after lie after lie.
I am considering Mary’s recommendation to attend these meetings but I have a slight suspicion that my welcome might be just a little less warm than the one she received.

a referendum on Europe or a referendum on the Lisbon Treaty?
