I listened to the Mr Blair interview. And towards the end he said something that amounted to: "I believe we should be in Europe, and therefore I do not want Miliband offering the nation the opportunity to vote on it."
If that isn't Westminster politicians telling the non-London part of the nation what's good for them - which I think is the main reason for the Farage rise - then I don't know what is. Repulsive evidence of anti-democracy.
(And I sit rather on the fence here, on the in-or-out. I think we're quite comfortable where we are and would be foolish to rush out.)
