    I’d be very surprised if the government doesn’t fight tooth and nail against this amendment. Instead preferring a now is not the time style approach.

    Or they could say… this wasn’t in our manifesto so we don’t feel comfortable bringing it forward 🥲.

      That’s why referendums are a thing. They are not just for giving a load shotgun to the public while the tabloids are telling them to blow out their own foot.

        Good luck with getting permission for a referendum on anything through parliament. You saw what happened last time. 🥲
