And don't say that the polls
were flawed. The results were too overwhelmingly in favour of a ban
to allow for any possible misinterpretation of the results.


I don't know whether or not the polls were flawed, only a referendum
would
settle that.

GB & NI isn't governed by means of referendums.


True, although they have been used on matters affecting devolution and will
be used regarding the euro and the euro constitution as soon as the
Government thinks it will win. But that doesn't invalidate my point that the
only way to determine whether the polls Franz referred to were accurate
would have been to test their results against a referendum posing the same
question.
