"But when Blair got to power he persistently refused to deliver. Ashdown gave up, stepped down as party leader and his consolation was Bosnia and Herzegovina! (The LibDem leadership under Ashdown made very little noise about the fact that Blair had broken a specific manifesto pledge to have a referendum on changing to a proportional electoral system - Neil)" Certainly one way to steer a man like Ashdown closer to Federal Europe..
