Stuart Wheeler wants a referendum

Don't know your name mate but so do we

Stuart Wheeler, the conservative millionaire has won an High Court review into whether the UK government should hold a referendum on the EU treaty. He believes there are two main reasons why there should be a referendum:

1. The Labour Party, as well as the other two main parties, made an unambiguous promise that they would call one. They should keep that promise.
2. The Treaty is immensely important and so, irrespective of whether you think it should be ratified or not, you should be allowed a vote on it.

The unelected Brown Clown disagrees and has ruled out a public vote with an outright lie, by saying it does not alter the UK Constitution. Stuart Wheeler along with the British National Party and the majority of the True British people, beg to differ. A vote was was promised on the EU Constitution and we want that referendum.

Despite the fact that the EU constitution was rejected by both the French and Dutch voters in 2005 the unelected bureaucrats push ahead with their plans for creating Eurabia. Ireland is obliged by its own constitution to hold a vote and they do this on the 12th of June. Let us hope they vote NO and do not throw that constitution away.

They who would give up an essential liberty for temporary security, deserve neither liberty or security.

It seems that the powers that be are starting to panic as it has been reported that the dodgy dealing, tax eating slug thug, House of Commons Speaker Michael Martin is preparing to launch a legal counter challenge to Mr Wheeler arguing that the will of Parliament should not be overridden by the courts.

Now that is normally a sentiment I share but when Kings and Parliaments ignores the will of the people they get what they deserve. Beneath is the broken promise made by the government in their manifesto of 13 April 2005. You can read all of the Stuart Wheeler letter to the Prime Minister here.

"The EU now has 25 members and will continue to expand. The new Constitutional Treaty ensures the new Europe can work effectively, and that Britain keeps control of key national interests like foreign policy, taxation, social security and defence. The Treaty sets out what the EU can do and what it cannot. It strengthens the voice of national parliaments and governments in EU affairs. it is a good treaty for Britain and for the new Europe. We will put it to the British people in a referendum and campaign whole-heartedly for a 'Yes' vote to keep Britain a leading nation in Europe."(emphasis added)

Well that looks like a broken promise to me. Now give us a referendum toad man.

You want a referendum? So do I.

Take 30 seconds to help us get a referendum

Following the debate in the House of Commons, in which most MPs voted against a referendum on the EU Lisbon Treaty, the I Want a Referendum campaign has turned its attention to the House of Lords, where the parliamentary arithmetic is more favourable to a referendum.

The Lords are expected to vote on whether or not there should be a referendum in early June, and will discuss the issue for the first time on Tuesday 1 April.

In the House of Lords, the key to winning the referendum vote lies with the Liberal Democrats. If they stick to the line they took in the Commons and abstain from the vote in the Lords, then the referendum vote could well be won. There are 216 Labour peers, most of whom are likely to vote against a referendum, 202 Conservative peers, many of whom will vote for a referendum, and 196 crossbenchers, around half of whom may vote for a referendum. So that means that if the 78 Lib Dem peers abstain, there could well be a majority to trigger a referendum.

However, Lib Dem leader Nick Clegg is coming under pressure from anti-referendum peers like Shirley Williams to allow them to vote against a referendum, rather than abstain. And there are rumours that Nick Clegg will cave in to this pressure, which would torpedo the prospects of a referendum.


We need you to do just one thing - email Nick Clegg

We are now asking our supporters to email Nick Clegg to urge him to stick to the line he took during the vote in the House of Commons. Please write to Nick Clegg telling him that:

• 1) The Liberal Democrats should really be voting for the referendum which they promised at the last election.
• 2) At the very least Nick Clegg must not allow his peers to vote against the referendum, which nine out of ten people in Britain want.
• 3) It would be hypocritical to do one thing in the Commons, and then do something completely different in the Lords.

To ensure that your letter is read and considered, please keep it short and to the point - and always be reasoned and polite.

You can contact Nick Clegg by email: cleggn@parliament.uk. If you can, please copy in susannah@iwantareferendum.com too.

If you want to send a letter by post, the address is:
Nick Clegg MP, House of Commons, London, SW1A 0AA.

Or you could fax him on: 0207 219 0260.

Commons vote against a referendum; battle moves to the Lords

Last week, MPs in the House of Commons voted against holding a national referendum on the revived EU Constitution. 311 MPs voted against a referendum, and 248 voted in favour.

29 Labour MPs defied their party line and voted for a referendum, as did 15 Liberal Democrat MPs. 50 Lib Dem MPs abstained in the vote, as instructed by leader Nick Clegg. 15 Labour MPs abstained, and 3 Conservative MPs voted against a referendum.

Please click here to find out how your MP voted:

The vote came just days after the I Want a Referendum campaign announced the results of its constituency referendum campaign, in which 150,000 people voted across ten constituencies. 88% were in favour of a referendum. Click here to see the results:

Two of the ten MPs whose constituencies were given a vote - Labour MP Paul Truswell in Pudsey, and Lib Dem David Heath in Somerton & Frome - did vote in favour of a referendum. David Heath even agreed to give up his frontbench job to vote for a referendum - along with two of his Lib Dem colleagues.

Pushing the Treaty through Parliament without a referendum lacks all legitimacy. The Government has failed to convince the public that the Lisbon Treaty is different to the rejected EU Constitution. A YouGov poll found that 94% of voters do not believe the Government's claim that it is different to the Constitution - on which a referendum was promised by all three parties.

The battle will now shift to the Lords where the parliamentary arithmetic is better for the prospect of a referendum.

The Government has no overall majority and has only a few more peers than the Conservatives. If the Conservatives combine with a significant number of crossbench peers, and Nick Clegg is able to make most Lib Dem peers follow their party line and abstain, there is a reasonably good chance of the Lords calling for a referendum, especially given that the Commons debate has been widely seen as a farce.

Please click here for our new briefing on the Lords stage of the Lisbon Treaty ratification:

What you can do

1. Write to your local newspaper

The I Want a Referendum campaign is now turning its attention to the House of Lords.

The Government is hoping that it can forget about the Treaty, now that it has cleared the Commons. Its strategy relies not in attempting to persuade the public, but simply trying to play down the issue and move on. However, the parliamentary debate is likely to run until June, and the issue will continue to dog the Government.

We need your help to keep this important issue alive in the media and to help motivate the Lords by demonstrating the strength of national feeling on this issue. Now is not the time to give up, but to publicise the Government's dishonesty in voting against a referendum and encourage the House of Lords to take up the battle.

Please write a letter to your local newspaper. The two key things to mention are firstly, your disappointment at being let down by the Commons, and secondly, your hopes that the Lords will now do the right thing and press the Government for a referendum on the Lisbon Treaty. We must keep this issue in the media, maintaining the pressure on the Government.

To make life easier, we've found email addresses for the letters pages of some of the main regional newspapers around the country. Please click here to find a newspaper near you:

2. Encourage your friends to support the campaign

As before, please continue to urge your friends and family to sign up to our online petition for a referendum. You can do this quickly and easily by visiting our 'Send to a friend' page on the website:

Please also encourage them to write to their local newspapers.

A real big Hat Tip to Fyrdist

I want a Referendum

European Auditors have refused to accept the EU accounts for 13 years running because of fraud and corruption. Our Country pays in £6bn a year - for what?

Well we all want a referendum on the EU Constitution and so it is good to see sites such as I want a Referendum spring up and take action to put pressure on MPs in their constituencies. These groups have the power to make local MP's consider their future should they continue to ignore the wishes of their local electorate.

But I have a problem with this group, although they state that they are a cross party pressure group, which is good, their actions say something different.

When Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council prevented villagers from holding an official parish vote on the desired referendum, the group organised an unofficial poll at the village hall.

And a great result it was for the Pro Referendum people who voted 51 to 3 in favour of there being a referendum. But this result has been overshadowed by the actions of the event organiser. A jumped up twerp named Oliver Sims who was upset at the involvement of a British National Party activist.

The unnamed hero of the BNP, who helped leaflet the area stamped the Referendum literature with a message saying that the leaflet had been delivered by the BNP and the activist also had the sense to drop a BNP flyer. Well done that man. Two jobs done in one go.

Now it matters not a jot in a cross party campaign whether the leaflets were stamped with "Delivered by the Labour Party" or "Delivered by Postman Pat". Getting the message out is the thing.

But not according to Mr Sims, who was by all accounts "bloody annoyed" and said he had been told that some local people had not voted because they thought that the BNP were involved in the poll.

Well let us hope that those stupid people who did not vote also do the same in future elections because the British National Party will be putting forward candidates the length and breadth of Our Country. Stay at home and sulk is our message to those fools.

Sims went on to say: “We’re not interested in having them involved and we don’t want to work with the BNP. It doesn’t really need any explanation as to why not,”. What a foolish statement. Of course it needs an explanation. Would any half sane person accept an argument like that? Explain yourself man.

Thankfully for the readers of Newbury Today (where the referendum was reported )had the chance to read more sensible words from BNP Spokesman, Simon Darby:

“As an anti-EU, anti-federalist party we’ve been around before anyone. It’s a bit rich to say we’re jumping on a bandwagon.”He added the poll result showed the BNP’s intervention hadn’t harmed the campaign.“I think all the anti-EU people should work together, and if people from other political parties want to get us out of the EU that’s a good thing,”

So an hat tip to the unknown BNP warrior from the Home of The Green Arrow and its readers.

Pro Referendum Rally - Update

DEMAND A REFERENDUM - BUILD THE BNP

There is now just a matter of weeks before Brown signs the new EU Constitution Treaty, and so joins the long list of traitor Labour and Tory PMs - Heath, Wilson, Thatcher, Major and Blair - who have hammered the EU nails into the coffin of British freedom. It is important that we make a special effort to make it a matter of public record that the British National Party opposes this treason, practically as well as in principle. In addition, the continued spiral of demoralisation in the electorally irrelevent UKIP makes this a crucial time for the BNP to press to become seen as a major player in the Euro-realist, anti-EU camp.

You may already have seen on the Internet calls for patriots to get involved with the ambitious plans for a pro-Referendum Rally being organised by Dr. Jonathan Wilson. What you will not know is that Dr. Wilson - despite saying that all anti-EU bodies have been invited to join the rally - has refused to invite the BNP. Well, we're going anyway!

Either the rally will fall far below the 500,000 hoped for by the organisers (the likely result of the deliberate shutting out of the only anti-EU party with any serious nationwide organisational structure and a memvbership not propped up on zimmer frames) or it will be surprisingly successful. If the former, then we need to be there in serious numbers to show how central the BNP is to the fight for British freedom. If the latter, then we need to be well represented in the crowds so as to make them as large and effective as possible - and to win new recruits with a show of polite and well-behaved strength.

Being far more realistic than the naive anti-EU lobby, we do not believe that anything that we peasants do will 'force' Brown to have a Referendum. We know that the only way he'll call one is if he's sure he can win it - just as the Europhiles rigged the one in 1975. But that's not the point. The achievable aim is not to stop Brown acting undemocratically, but simply to raise public consciousness of the fact that he is acting undemocratically, and that the whole EU project lacks any democratic mandate. We don't care what Treaties the politicians sign, because - provided we can mobilise enough public anger - once we're in power we'll simply rip them up!

The process of getting that power will be greatly speeded up if we can bring on board more of the good-hearted but naive activists who are realising that they've been wasting their time with the UKIP sideshow and various paper anti-EU groups. The extract below from the latest from the Referendum Campaign shows very clearly how the whole thing - at the organisational stage as well as on the day itself - is almost custom-built as a giant recruitment opportunity for the British National Party. Please read their bulletin carefully and - without mentioning or giving away your BNP connection - register as a supporter and a local volunteer on their website.

When the organisers put you in touch with other local signatories, work with them to organise transport and maximum attendance (make sure that if you get involved with hiring transport that you insist on full payment in advance so as not to end up forking out for useless Tory types who fail to turn up if it rains!) We will produce the appropriate recruitments aids and finalise our precise plans when we have a better idea of how many demonstrators - and how many BNP activists - will be marching through Central London on Saturday 27th October.

Blair has betrayed us and Brown will to

One day Blair will travel through Traitors Gate to his new home

The proven liar, Blair signed away the Freedom of Our Country to Brussels and the increasingly powerful Eurabian vote of the Moslems in Turkey, Germany and France and then slipped away in the night.

There are no words to adequately describe this foul specimen of a man who has brought shame on his family name and on Our Country. For the man who ripped up the Magna Carta that has enshrined and protected Our Freedom for hundreds of years, that man is beneath contempt. I was wrong. There is in fact one word. Traitor.

His reward for our betrayal into slavery? Well we shall have to see but you know that his future is feather bedded with the proceeds of the silver he has sold us out for. This filth. This Judas Iscariot thinks he may spend his silver freely. But he is wrong. His future home will be entered via Traitors Gate and his stay there will, hopefully not be long.

Feeling the hatred of the people, Our People, he discards the highest office in Our Land as if it was nothing but a soiled tissue paper and the equally foul, Brown Clown picks it up for his own sordid use.

I recognise that the State has power over me but I do not recognise the legitimacy of it or the european union to govern. We are at war with our leaders. We live in an occupied land. We are members of the resistance and for some there will be a price to pay for trying to defend freedom. I will pay that price if necessary.

But where are the Leaders of the Resistance? There is talk everywhere of angry dissatisfaction but no organised protest. We, the people should be making demands.

We demand a General Election. Brown has no mandate to govern.

We demand a referendum on Europe with a real question. A question much like the one that was proposed by the Referendum Party years ago when they won us the promise of a referendum on Europe that we have yet to see. The question?

"Do you want the UK to be part of a Federal Europe? or Do you want the UK to return to an association of sovereign nations that are part of a common trading market?"

If the True British people are to vanish from the face of this Earth, at least let them have a chance to vote on their genocide.

Around the net, now, are dozens of petitions. Too many. We need one petition and that petition itself will be the referendum by the numbers of signatures. We need leadership and we need it now. I urge, no beg the British National Party under Nick Griffin to come out fighting and lead the Campaign. BNP members and supporters are waiting for the call to arms. Strike now.

"If ye love wealth greater than liberty, the tranquility of servitude greater than the animating contest for freedom, go home from us in peace. We seek not your counsel, nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you; and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen."

Rhodri Morgan and the Welsh Assembly

First Pratt - Sorry Minister Rhodri Morgan of the Welsh Assembly is running scared of a Tory-led nightmare alliance running Wales. First lets just have a quick reminder of the votes cast in the creation of this mega money swallowing pig trough.

The Welsh Assembly only exists because the referendum rules were fixed back in 1997

YES 559,419 50.3%
NO 552,698 49.7%

Only 25% of the Welsh electorate bothered to vote. I bet they wish they had now. .3% is no mandate to govern. Usually there is a much larger percentage required for a referendum to be valid.

However, Rhodri should not worry about the Tory's - he should start to worry about the unemployed working class that his party has helped create in Wales. The British National Party will restore pride along with their jobs.

If the image header turns your stomach then click on the Welsh Assembly donation link on the right and help bring back jobs and pride to Wales.

The sound of tireless voices is the price we pay for the right to hear the music of our own opinions.
