Firstly - NO! Please don't have them call a general election, I've not totally receovered from the last one yet!

There wasn't a promised referendum on the EU Constitution by the Tories. Well before the last election they promised a referendum on the Lisbon Treaty. By the time they got into power, the Lisbon Treaty had already been ratified so holding a referendum would have been a very expensive but totally pointless exercise.

David Cameron seems to have done the right thing by this country last night. However, one swallow does not a summer make. It isn't enough to fight a general election on, in my opinion.
