Weeks too late, in fact months too late.

This is one thing I found while canvassing,that people couldn't understand why Labour weren't offering one too.
It is the one thing, as I have said on here loads, I wished Ed Miliband had changed his mind on.

So I am really glad, this change has come,I am even more pleased Labour will be supporting it in parliament too, this will remove any chance of David Cameron now saying he hasn't the parliamentary arithmetic to get a referendum bill through parliament as well,were his re-negotiation to go badly wrong.
Despite any possible rebellion by some very pro EU Conservative MPs.

Of course had the Conservatives fully backed their own man, James Wharton MP, who had the foresight to try to put in place the referendum time anyway, all would have been near up and ready to go even by the election on May 7th.

A good and wise move from Labour and I give full praise to Harriet Harman for bringing about this change.
This could have helped greatly in the election,on this issue.
Although I will vote to stay in the EU, come what may,on this I have to agree Ed Miliband was totally wrong.
