[Margaret Pilkington]

Statistics? I do not trust them. People do not always tell the truth in surveys.......and the questions that are put to them are very important......the way they are worded can be misleading. Which in turn will mean the result is misleading.
There is only one way any political party will find out what the British people want.
That is to ask them a very simple question with a YES or NO answer.
The question is:- Do you want Britain in the EU?
This would settle the issue. So why are we not being asked?

Well Mr Jones in his infinite wisdom thinks he knows better than us. He thinks that we do not have the wherewithal to decide for ourselves what the answer should be......that we do not understand the nuts and bolts of the EU.

Also we may vote the 'wrong' way...even though the statistics(those things that I don't trust, also seem to enjoy little trust from those in the know) suggest that 60% of Britains would vote to stay in.
Which would leave the government is something of a quandary - even though there is no legal duty which would make them have to act on this ...there would be a moral duty to do something about it.

Ted Heath tied a knot with his tongue that the teeth of the whole of Britain cannot gnaw through.
