If this government do not listen to the growing swell of concern about EU and policies that damage the fabric of our society, then they too, may face the same fate.

Yes, along with other broken election pleges, referendums have been dangled before the electorate as a glittering prize, in the run up to recent General Elections.

Though as we've seen from successive governments, they soon renege on holding these promised referendums, once they've secured election victory.
