I want a referendum

As the political scene heats up with increasing speculation of Gordon "Britishness" Brown calling an autumn election during Labour's party conference next week, it is becoming more important that we don't just blindly sit back and accept "new" Labour's back-and-forth policies.
 
Under Tony Blair's disasterous premiership, we were promised a referendum with regards to the adoption of the EU constitution. This was, of course, pointless when both the Netherlands and France held referendums with a resounding "no". But the German Chancellor, Angela Merkel, was determined to force the constitution upon the peoples of the now as-good-as-Nazi EU, and so a new treaty was drawn up. And now, despite it clearly being just a trimmed down and streamlined version of the rejected constitution, our lovely not-at-all-dictatorial-or-corrupt Government are forcing it upon us, flatly denying that it is anything like the original constitution - which is blatant bollocks - and consequently refusing any need for a referendum on the issue.
 
If anything, we need to be moving further away from Europe, not closer. It's a criminally expensive experiment which has gone horrendously wrong (or right, depending how one chooses to look at it), and it needs slimming and returning to its trading link roots, not pushing for further integration. If this new treaty is approved, we will lose further power to the unaccountable, undemocratic, and wholly anti-British Nazi institution which is the European Union.
 
Show your support for a referendum on the new treaty by signing up to "I want a referendum" now - before it's too late.
