Kennedy Concern over LibDem's Laggardness

The Scotsman in an article linked here seems to very well betray the Libdem leader's denied consternation at Ukip's advance in the YouGov poll.

Mr Kennedy argued that even on the gloomiest reading of the figures, his party was already ahead of its performance in the 1999 European election.

And he forecast that with more than two weeks of the campaign yet to run, the UK Independence Party would come under increasingly critical scrutiny.

“The more they come under scrutiny, the more people will see the extent to which they are playing with fire if they send UK Independence Party representatives to Brussels or Strasbourg in significant numbers to represent Britain, because that would be counterproductive and disastrous,” he said.


This report from epolitix has the MEP who leads the party in Brussels pushing for the referendum to be on the matter of In or Out of Europe. That report is linked from here.

The full text of the actual Referendum Bill, however, including the wording of the question and preceding statement, together with the fact that referenum day will be a public holiday was posted on our sister blog IRONIES much earlier this morning.
