Now they decide to mention it........

........just in passing, like it wasn't important.

Mr. Schultz......head of the European Parliament, announces that any deal Mr. Cameron makes; has to be put to the European Parliament to be ratified and as a reporter said " you know how there's no way everybody in a parliament would agree, without wanting amendments here and there; or generally to tinker around with it "

The real clincher for me, was the fact that it now appears ( according to Mr. Schultz ) that these proposals won't be put in front of the EU Parliament; until AFTER the referendum. So we'll be voting on changes that Cameron says we've got, but that haven't been approved yet...........I'M SICK TO DEATH OF THESE " MUPPETS ".

They told us it couldn't be ratified in time weeks ago, before negotiations happened.

Oh......I must have missed the small print then.......God, life's nothing but small print these days.  So, basically, we're voting on a Politicians promise.......well if my mind wasn't made up.......it is now.

Voting on a politician's promise...so what else is new?

Well Cameron baby intimated, that once an agreement was accepted by all parties, ratification by the EU Parliament was a done deal.  However, Schultzy baby seems to think that they'd all say yes; but when it gets to the Parliament, they'll want to start altering it.  A cynic could say Cameron has asked them to say yes now, openly, so that he can get it through the referendum and then after " what the hell " they can do what they like.....because we'll be IN and he can plead that they'd reneged on their promise and he was the injured party..........NOT !!
