Keith is often fond of quoting his interpretation on what people are thinking with no evidence to back it up. Including in this thread.

The interesting points are that the majority consider the change in policy to be a sensible adaption to new circumstances and the support for the Sovereignity Bill announced as policy. The pro-referendum stance is also favourable to DC because that will be built into the Sovereignity Bill regarding any further moves towards integration.
