Conservative Home have an exclusive sneak peek of a Daily Politics / ComRes poll on the Lisbon Treaty.  Here are some of the numbers, which – to my mind – serve to further highlight how the Government has betrayed the British public on this:

The ComRes survey of 1,010 UK voters finds that 64% of UK voters believe that the UK should hold a referendum and 26% think Parliament should decide.

33% say that they would vote to accept the Treaty if given the opportunity.  40% say that they would reject it.   27% don’t know.
