I Want a Referendum responds to Lib-Dem referendum call

I Want a Referendum responds to Lib-Dem referendum call

Chairman of the I Want a Referendum campaign Derek Scott said: “The Liberal Democrats want an honest debate so they must not try to force people into a fake choice between either giving more powers to the EU and leaving altogether.”

“The overwhelming majority of people in Britain want to cooperate in Europe, but not give more powers away.”

“The only honest thing to do is to give people the referendum they were promised on the Constitutional Treaty. If Mr Campbell really wants to have a national debate on the EU, then the only realistic way is to back a referendum on the Constitutional Treaty. Otherwise it is just meaningless.”
