So they were taught their lesson and had the suffer a year of embarassment in front of their euro counterparts.
This time around we understand the issues - they have been debated and guarantees will be in place to cover any ambigituities. This time around the referendum is about protecting our future in Europe by being in the mainstream but holding our position on neutrality, taxation etc.
I would never tell someone else how to vote - that is their choice and I believe that politicians should give their opinions but not tell others what to do. So, Politicians, if you want a YES vote, butt out and keep your posters in the shed and let people make their own choice.
