Duff, Duffer, Duffest. Democracy a tad scary for the Lib Dems

Just listen to this. It is Andrew Duff, the senior and highly respected Lib Dem MEP from the eastern counties of England. Not only does he find it nigh on impossible to mention this country by name,

The country I know best

But worse he wants to ban referenda on European matters,

"The fact that Referenda are prohibited from being used to ratify European Union Treaty changes does also seem to be to be a constructive step"

Now I wonder why he would think that?
