Libdems and The Lisbon Treaty

So the Libdems have been instructed to abstain in the vote on a referendum on the Lisbon Treaty. I saw Nick Clegg trying to justify this stance on Newsnight and boy did he fail bigtime.
Looks like my jibe about the Libdems electing another interim leader wasn’t that far off the mark.
The question now is how many of the Libdem MP’s will rebel against this stupid instruction and vote with the Tories and the Labour rebels. Let’s hope it’s enough to force Labour to honour its manifesto promise.
