At long last, but do we have the spine for it?
I do hope so.
This email just in from the Campaign for a Referendum….
MPs to Vote on EU Referendum before Christmas
A historic vote on growing demands for Britain to leave the
European Union will be held in the Commons before Christmas.MPs will debate whether the Government should give voters a chance to decide the issue once and for all in a referendum. It will be the first time Parliament has held a major vote on seeking the public’s view since the 1975 referendum confirming the decision to join the Common Market.
If MPs vote in favour of a referendum, the result would not be binding on the Government.
But, combined with growing public opposition to the increasing power of the EU, it would put enormous pressure on David Cameron to let the people decide the country’s European fate. The Commons vote has been forced on MPs – and a reluctant Prime Minister .The decision to hold a debate was made after a petition, signed by more than 100,000 people demanding a referendum, was delivered to No10 Downing Street by a cross party group of MPS and MEPS led by Independent MEP Nikki Sinclaire.
Nikki Sinclaire, who organised the petition, said: “This is an argument that has been going on far too long. We must have a referendum, and the Government must abide by the result.”
That Committee has now promised to grant a one-day debate on a referendum after Parliament returns next week.The debate will then be held before the end of the year. According to a recent You
Gov poll commissioned by us If there was a vote, a massive 52% would vote to leave, with only 30% preferring to stay in and 15% undecided and 4% not bothering to vote
Withdrawing from the EU has support at the highest level of the party, including from Mr Cameron’s senior No 10 adviser, Steve Hilton.The Commons vote is a nightmare for the Coalition. Mr Cameron was heavily criticised in Opposition for going back on a pledge to hold a referendum on the 2007 Lisbon Treaty which continued the process of switching sovereignty to the EU.
He fears a referendum would be a distraction from his attempts to solve Britain’s economic problems. But he will face a mass revolt if he orders Tory MPs to vote against it. The Government has suffered three defeats as a result of debates ordered by the
Backbench Business Committee, including rejecting a European bid to give prisoners the vote
How you can Help!
The date of the debate and vote have not yet been set, but in the mean time we are asking as many of you to email your MPs. Which you can do so through this website http://www.writetothem.com/ To ask them which way they will vote ? also whether they would support a referendum on our EU membership ?
Remember If you have a Liberal Democrat MP that at the last General Election their party promised to support a in or out referendum on our EU membership in their 2010 Manifesto, also A sizeable number of Labour MPs also want a referendum to split the coalition!
We are then asking you to forward any replies that you receive back to us at eureferednumcampaign@gmail.com
Once again,we’d like to thank you for all your efforts so far, and please don’t forget we are still collecting signatures.
If you require more petiton forms please call 0800 157 7916
Kind Regards,
Campaign for an EU REFEREDNUM Team
Now, after years of campaigning, writing countless emails, blog posts, Facebook updates, tweets and newspaper comments, boring our friends to distraction and grinding our teeth at the sheer insanity of it all, the goal is finally in sight, the day we vote to take our island back from the faceless apparatchiks of the
EUSSR; now, the real work begins.
This is a once in a lifetime chance. Let’s not blow it.
