Then they also didn't have the power to take us into the EU, or indeed to pass the Maastrict or the Lisbon treaties through into our law. Other countries had a referendum on Maastrict we didn't. It was actually squeezed into law via unprecedented pressure by John Major. I bet a legal challenge would be interesting. We might not even legally be in the EU at all.

I could live with that.
