I can't vote because I'm a Canadian citizen, and, surprisingly, under 18  However, if I could, I would vote "out".
It will be interesting to see if any of the major parties makes membership in the EU (either "in" or "out") a plank in their official platform. I very much doubt it, except maybe for the Lib-Dems, and the way they are going it seems as if "major" is not an appropriate adjective for the party.

Sadly the last Labour government reneged on a pre-election pledge that we would have a referendum on the E.U. treaty.
The lying snakes.
Encouraging news...

Even more so, because there's some cross-party support.
From those better able to judge the mood of the country, outside of their protective political bubble.
Apparently Super Ed's none too keen on a yes/no referendum though.
Saying there won't be one if he becomes Prime Minister.

From me...come the next election.
