  It is very clear to me, no sitting on the fence.
  
  DC is against the Treaty and will have a referendum campaigning for a No vote provided the Treaty has not been ratified. That is very clear.
  
  His problem is that if it has been ratified then we have a much more tricky situation.
  
  A referendum cannot extract us from the Treaty, though a no vote would provide moral backing for a fundamental renegotiation of Britains relationship with the EU. In this situation a different question would need to be asked a yes or no to the Treaty would be a nonsense question as it would be enacted. Clearly this is a much more complex situation and it is far better not to divert attention from the situation we actually have now for what might happen. It could be that a referendum would be better after a re-negotiation not before.
  
  What I want is no Treaty but because of Brown and Blair's betrayal it may be imposed on us so if that happens we want the right result from re-negotiation. That would be the only game in town.
