Well, I honestly never though that I would think, let alone publicise these words, but thank God for The Sun.

Today, they've launched a new front-page campaign demanding that Gordon Brown, as he originally promised, give the country a referendum on the new version of the EU constitution. (I'm actually almost tempted to buy a copy of the paper to see the full article.)

Although it remains to be seen what effect the new campaign will have, it undoubtedly reduces the chances of Brown calling an Autumn election, and if he does will severly slash his chances of winning. The paper's backing has been instrumental in Labour's defeat of the Conservative Party for the past 3 elections, and any tide turning against the party will be a big blow for Brown, and for Labour as a whole.

Now let's hope that the country sits up and takes note.

(Incidentally, the front page of today's edition is an actually pretty convincing mock-up of Brown sticking two fingers up from the pages to the country; his face having been superimposed over that of Sir Winston Churchill, in his famous photo.)
