Douglas Carswell MP;
"We have to liberalise the rules and regulations that are preventing wealth creation – and that is going to have to mean extricating ourselves from many of the EU rules that are suffocating the economy.
In this Parliament, we should repatriate control over all aspects of employment law – including working time rules and regulation concerning temporary workers, and over the regulation of the City. If this was presented as part of a comprehensive package of measures to get the economy moving, Lib Dems wanting to be taken seriously on the deficit would have no choice but to back it."
Carswell says he is writing for the 81 rebels that wanted a referendum in order to 'hold a gun' to the EU to repatriate these laws and re-entering the EU trading zone on business only basis which would accept all the commerce directives (bananas, eccles cakes) and payments to the EU.

If you want to blindly carry on arguing your pro-E.U. argument, though I fear you're whistling in the wind, as the polls on here show you're in a tiny minority, there are plenty of of threads for you to do that in.
This thread is about whether people think it right that you voted against allowing them a referendum on E.U. membership, which earlier this month you stated you had no problem with, before hypocritically voting against giving people that democratic right.
Please try and keep to the subject of this thread.
