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.

Yes, unfortunately! and it has proved to be the biggest mistake in our history. To move on we have to correct the mistake before we can move into the future.

UKIP may not hold all the seats required for a majority, but it does have the support of the majority of the electorate. I would like to see this ‘seats’ bias removed. The voting system should be on a heads count.

It is impossible to prove that it was a mistake because we do not have the counterfactual case to make the comparison with, all we can do is try and guess what the world would have been like if we had not joined the EU but that could only ever be a guess with no real evidence to support it. I voted to stay in and am happy to stand by that decision.

No, it does not, at all. ~14%, in fact.
And you want a pure party list system? Oh dear.

more like 11% and falling tonight’s pathetic party political broadcast will only remind their support is steadily falling as people realise they’ve been duped by another rich tory boy ho has no clue hat it’s like for ordinary people without wad of cash
demonising foreigners achieves nothing!
