I was under the impression that the vote on Wednesday was about a
particular government bill, not the principle of greater European
unity. If, for example, you disagreed with the government's opting out
of various social provisions, then it seems to me that you'd have to
vote against. Otherwise you concede to the Tory party the right to
define the only possible terms under which Britain can accept the
treaty.
