POLL: Should Britain hold an in/out EU referendum?

Left Foot Forward

 

Former Labour prime minister Tony Blair returned to the fold this week. Or to be more specific, he returned to warn that the Conservative promise of an in/our EU referendum was a sop to UKIP that risked unleashing economic uncertainty should David Cameron win the General Election.

Critics responded by labelling Blair (and by extension Ed Miliband, who has ruled out an EU referendum should Labour win power) anti-democratic.

Now we want your view. Whether you support Britain’s membership of the European Union or not, should Britain have an in/out referendum? Is it, as some suggest, anti-democratic not to have one, or could the same be said about lots of things which we do not – and should not – hold referendums for?

We want to hear from you. The result of the survey will be published next week.

    So. For *this* referendum, you want new and special rules to prevent the foreign spending which dominated the AV referendum. And you are unaware of the fact that “non-British EU residents” can’t vote in referendums, showing your complete ignorance of the issue.

    So right, you’re just trying to rig things, and won’t vote in a fair poll for silly reasons. The good reason is of course “demands your email”.

    A referendum has been offered, and there is a great deal of interest in it. There should be a poll, and I don’t think it is “brave” of Miliband or Blair to refuse it – espeially in Blair’s case as it is well known he covets the top job within it, which, given the man’s meglomania, is not surprising

    British people should be allowed to vote on any number of policies that affect them. This is how Norway is managed and that country is a lot more successful for it. Politics should be a lot more transparent than they are, and the people should be informed of legislation with honesty. After all, our government is in office to serve the people – we should not have to serve the government!
