I Want A Referendum!

And so do these people.

A cross-party group of MPs have said they are confident that a new campaign would pressure Gordon Brown into holding a referendum on the EU Treaty.
Ex-Labour ministers Kate Hoey and Frank Field are among MPs who claim voters were promised a say by the government.
They will use a website, cinema adverts and events to put their message across.
A referendum on the EU constitution was pledged in 2005, but Mr Brown says the treaty is different to the abandoned constitution so no poll is needed. (BBC)
On this issue more than any other Brown is talking utter bollocks. We want a referendum on the new EU Constitution "Reform Treaty". The British people want to have their say on the future of the way our country is run.

We were promised a referendum on the EU Constitution and, bar a few lines, this is the same document. Give us our referendum. We want to have our say, and not just be sold down the river.

This issue is above and beyond the electoral mandate that any government gets. If this "Reform Treaty" is adopted, it will fundamentally change the way in which our country is run, with the huge level of transfer of sovereignty.
