What a pity that politicians on both sides seem determined to ignore the wishes of the British people.  |
I'm afraid that whatever side of the fence you are on it has to be said that the time for referendum is long overdue and with each passing day it becomes harder to justify not having one. We pay far more in per year than we get back out of it and for myself, although I have heard some fairly convincing arguments for remaining within the EU, I would happily withdraw.
Opinions from all politicians are divided and quite openly between members within each party. I must say that I prefer this to a bunch of sheep rigidly adhering to the party line over their own views.
With the advent of the new 100,000 signature petition which allows burning issues to be considered for discussion within parliament, I will be interested to see how the House of Commons deals with it. On the one hand, if they ignore it then there will be uproar but on the other if they debate it and find that actually it is better that we stay in the EU then I'm not sure that will go down terribly well with the majority either.
Good luck everyone, rather you than me.
