A friend of Coffee House has flagged up the episode of the Tonight programme screening on ITV at 8pm this evening. Here’s the premise of it, taken from the show’s website:
“New Labour has gone back on its promise to hold a referendum on a new European constitution – despite most people wanting one. Tonight steps in, organising a special poll in Luton. Do its voters want to be in or out of Europe?”
I’m in the dark over what the result of that “special poll” is. But – whatever the outcome – the very fact that programmes like this are getting commissioned hints at the depth of public feeling over the Lisbon Treaty. Should be worth tuning into.
