Yes. The Technical Group is to be commended for claiming it will seek to the have issue put to the people regardless. I can support the idea. I will reserve my position on the treaty until I have had a chance to consider it, but it should be possible for people to favour a referendum and a "Yes" vote. I will support the Technical Group's petition should it come to this House and I encourage colleagues on all sides of the House to take a similarly positive view. At this time, we need to promote the idea of democratic legitimacy.
