Doesn't reflect very creditably on either the Guardian or Mansfield College Oxford

Misleading article by David Marquand in today's Guardian, telling us that only England is sceptical about the European Union.

Hardly any facts in the piece, but David Marquand does say that the Conservative Party only represents England, and that Euroscepticism will break up the United Kingdom with Scotland and Wales staying in the EU and England leaving.

This is such a stupid argument it hardly warrants refuting.

However David Marquand is a clever person (Principal of an Oxford college no less) so he must be aware that in Wales the Conservatives are the second largest political party, polling three times as many votes as the Plaid Cymru nationalists in the 2010 election; also that in the most recent poll on the EU a majority of Scottish people wanted to leave the EU.

He must be aware of these facts and yet he chooses to tell us (through the Guardian) the opposite - doesn't say very much for his integrity and doesn't reflect very creditably on either the Guardian or Mansfield College Oxford (which was mentioned in the by-line, giving David Marquand added gravitas).
