The Campaign for a Referendum's NEW Petition launched on
31 October 2011

CAMERON’S HALLOWEEN EU NIGHTMARE RECURS – THIS TIME WITH TEETH

They exorcised it with three-line whips last week. They drove a derisive stake through its heart, murmured the ancient incantation, ‘Calm down, dears’ and thought that they could carry on carousing undisturbed in their Westminster mansion.
But this Halloween, the many-headed monster known as ‘the people’ comes back to haunt Cameron, Clegg and their hangers-on. It is bigger and fiercer than ever.
The Campaign for a Referendum led by Independent MEP Nikki Sinclaire, gathered 120,000 signatures demanding a referendum on Britain’s membership of the EU and so triggered the debate and a major Tory rebellion, will reappear tomorrow on College Green with a brand new peoples petition, and this time she is making use of a little-noticed clause in the coalition agreement to force the issue through.

“Many of us did not believe that politicians appointed by the public would treat the public like dirt,” says Nikki, “so we did not invoke this clause. It seems that we were naive. David Cameron and Nick Clegg owe their positions to some 30,000 voters apiece. They plainly think those were all discerning, intelligent voters who should be obeyed. We have four times as many. They just sneer.

“So we’re coming back with a different Campaign for a Referendum petition, and this time we’re invoking a firm pledge. We’ll see if it’s any firmer than Cameron’s cast-iron promise to hold a referendum which turned out to be made of Belgian chocolate and melted in the heat of high office. The original petitioners are very angry at the way they were treated and will sign again, and there will be many, many more who want to remind these people that we are sovereign and that we have never been given a chance to decide whether we want our laws made by unelected, unknown bureaucrats in Brussels. All that we are saying, as ever, is ‘Let the People Decide.’”

27 July 2010
Marked the launch of Nikki's first Campaign for a Referendum that resulted in a debate in Parliament in October 2011

Campaigning West Midlands MEP Nikki Sinclaire has today launched a ‘people’s petition’ in Birmingham calling on the coalition government to hold a referendum on European Union membership, the aim to collect 100,000 signatures of support.

Said Nikki ‘It is a disgrace that no-one under the age of 53 has had the chance to say whether they want to be part of the European Union and yet it spends £45millon of our money every day’. Nikki is using a campaign ‘battle bus’ to visit ‘every town and City in the Midlands over the next year to collect signatures. Said Nikki ‘I aim to collect the petition over the next year or so and have also launched an online version at www.haveyoursay.eu

Nikki said that the battle bus also doubles as a mobile surgery and gives her a chance to meet ‘my employers’ i.e. constituents at first hand. Said Nikki ‘Although I have massive reservations about the European Union I do never the less want to use my time helping people and I am issuing an open invitation to people to talk to me about anything that concerns them from job security to Housing problems’. Nikki regularly receives enquiries on a broad range of concerns and has a high success rate resolving problems working in association with local Councils and Parliament
