House of Commons to vote on In / Out referendum

So here it is.  On Thursday October 27th, the House of Commons will vote on the following motion:

Of course there might be some spolier amendments tabled to try to confuse the issue.  Perhaps the whips might try a few tricks.  But regardless, we know that there will be a division of the House of Commons on the motion above.

So.  How will your MP vote?

Having voted for a referendum on electoral reform, will they deny you one on what powers MPs have once elected?   Maybe they might tell you that they'd prefer it if we renegotiated instead.  Not a problem.  The motion allows for precisely that.

Perhaps they might try to tell you that now is not the right time?  Eurozone in crisis .... blah ... cut the deficit .... need to fix the sun while the roof is blah blah  

Or perhaps, they might, you know, just vote for it like I will be doing. 

No wiggle room.  Thursday 27th October.  Vote for the motion.
