EU Referendum

The Sun today invites its readers to subscribe to a petition for a referendum on the constitutional treaty. Now, the Sun prides itself on backing the right political horses ('It's the Sun wot won it!') and Gordon Brown is at the moment the fancied political horse.

So I think it unlikely that this petition would have emerged without consultation with people 'close' to Gordon. Which means Gordon has decided to call a referendum. But when? On the same ballot paper as the General Election? Surely not?
