Er...at least check the facts are right Graham.
Before chirping out the party line, like a good little canary in the gilded political cage.
The European Union didn't exist until the Maastricht Treaty came into force in 1993.
The actual wording of the 1975 referendum question was...
“Do you think that the United Kingdom should stay in the European Community (The Common Market)?”
The majority of the constituents you are paid to represent demand a say in their future, because not one single person has ever been allowed the right to say if they want to be members of the European Union.
A body that is not a trade alliance, which the Common Market was, back in 1975.
A referendum is the only democratic way to rectify this.
People are very angry that they have had no right to say what their destiny will be.
As stated earlier, I am one person, with one vote, but I will never again give that vote to any politican, or party that doesn't actively support the right to a referendum on this issue.
One voice...but I'm certainly not the only bird in trilling away in my cage.
