As far as I'm concerned, anyone who votes against a referendum does not believe in democracy and I hope the voters will remember this come the next election.

It's interesting to note that one country that regularly employs the mechanism of a referendum is Switzerland - a country which is also the second largest financial centre within Europe after the UK. It's also one of the wealthiest countries, alongside Norway and Liechtenstein, in Europe. These three countries - alongside Iceland (which ain't really in Europe anyway) make up the European Free Trade Area. Guess what? The UK was once a member of EFTA but we knifed 'em in the back in order to join the Common Market back in '72.
EFTA members are part of the European Economic Area, which encompasses the EU; the difference is, they are fully sovereign states with full control over their borders, natural resources and most importantly, their democratic sovereignty. All of those we have now lost within the UK. But it's not to late. The first duty of any MP -even before his obligations to his constituents - is to be a loyal servant of his country and as such I can see no other alternative now for any MP who is not a traitor to vote 'Yes' in the forthcoming division for a referendum on Britains exit from this shambles called the EU - or the Fourth Reich, as it should now be properly called.
