  Some of us are a bit unhappy that the LDs seem to have watered down Conservative Eursceptism. But perhaps we have no need to feel quite so unhappy.
  
  Andrew Duff who is a LibDem MEP and happens to be President of the Union of European Federalists has attacked the Conservatives European Bill offering referenda on all new European Treaties.
  
  This Euroloony extremist writes:
  '""....referenda will unleash the forces of populist nationalism. Facile coalitions of nay-sayers will form to block Britain's progress in Europe. Regular referenda on issues of mind-boggling complexity will further sour the British people's already febrile relationship with the Westminster parliament and its political parties. Nobody need delude him - or herself that an EU referendum in Britain can be won, at least for a generation.
  
  The blunt truth is that if this bill becomes law no future EU treaty revision will be possible if the UK remains a full member state of the Union. Plan B anyone?'""""
  
  Wow - that sound good to me and very encouraging. This bill clearly must have more teeth than we thought.
