Ratifying the EU Constitution

Something to think about is this: The EU Constitution can be ratified by a referendum*, which I am mildly hopeful would be a 'No', OR it can be ratified by Parliament (without a referendum).

Does anybody have any ideas how MPs would vote if asked to ratify it without a referendum?

All I know is that MPs voted by a 215 majority in early 2005 that there should be a referendum on the EU Constitution. But, of course, being in favour of having a referendum does not mean that an MP would vote 'No' to adopting the Constitution.

Hmm.

* Which is not legally binding on Parliament, who'd still have to nod it through afterwards, that's a minor point.

I'll just hope that Alex Salmond stirs the pot by promising a referendum in Scotland.

In the meantime, prepare yourself and exercise by voting about the EU.
