Why did you vote against the lib dems amendment if you think this?
For anybody that doesn't know, the Lib Dems requested an amendment calling for a referendum on whether we should be in or out of the EU at all.
Both Conservatives and Labour (including Greg Pope) voted against it.
If people believe we shouldn't be in the EU at all, then UKIP is the way to go. However I don't believe that it would be in our interests to leave completely, as it is good for our economy to stay in providing it is an economic community and NOT giving away our sovereign powers.
Remember the Conservatives were the only party out of the 3 main ones which actually kept to what they were elected on. Many of the Lib Dems abstained, I don't think sitting on the fence is a good way to represent people! Whilst Labour simply voted directly against what they told everyone they would do in 2005. How can we believe them when the next election comes round?
