European Union Bill

The Bill makes it very clear that the referendum condition has to be satisfied, in the circumstances in which the law requires a referendum to be held, before the Government are able to ratify the proposed treaty. I simply do not believe that any British Government who had been defeated at a referendum would then come forward and say to their electorate, ““No, you've got it wrong. Let's dissolve the people and have a new one!”” That really does not make political sense.
