This link takes you to a document published in .pdf format by Open Europe, comparing the Treaty that Gordon Brown and Mr. Milliband say isn't the proposed Constitution with the proposed Constitution: http://www.openeurope.org.uk/research/guide.pdf

This isn't just a Tory thing. It's a matter of all elected politicians of whatever party keeping faith with the people that voted for them. Labour MPs like Frank Field, Kate Hoey and Gisela Stuart have sought to make Gordon Brown hold the promised Referendum, as have Lib Dems John Hemming and Mike Hancock. Our own local MPs seem rather coy about expressing openly their views on the question. Yet both of them were elected on a Lib Dem manifesto pledge to hold a Referendum on the European Constitution.
