WHY is it that Labour and the Lib Dems are trying to get all their followers towards total backing for the vote to remain in the EU.
The Tories, who have called the referendum are, at least, divided into two camps, for and against.
Surely, with an issue as important as this each and every person should have a totally free vote... without having to be subject to any party’s three-line whip?
If people are just told to ‘fall into line’, we might as well have let parliament have their say where their whips would have set the pattern of voting.
Seems the same either way to me!
