oh, I'd happily get rid of the monarchy and House of Lords too. That's up to the British people. We don't have final say in EU.

And have you asked yourselves why Tories didn't call ref on H or Lords? Cos all part of ruling elite. EU outside their control.

no, there won't be a ref on the Lords because (sadly) there is no public demand for it. There was a demand for an EU ref. Simple

No, there wasn't a public demand. Was about Cameron & internal Tory politics

Perceived threat of UKIP. Tory paranoia. Not same as public demand.

not perceived or paranoia. Very real. Referendums offered by most parties in 2010 election due growing pressure after Lisbon
