Delivering
100,000 signatures to 10 Downing Street
We call upon the
Prime Minister and his government to hold a debate on this issue
in parliament and then a debate in the country followed by a binding
referendum
on our membership of the EU.
We still need your signatures to make this the largest petition in
the country so the government will listen to the people.

Taking
the petition to 10 Downing Street
Nikki Sinclaire
was joined by other parliamentarians and supporters, when she marched
on Westminster on the 8th September to present her Campaign for a Referendum
petition
to
Downing
Street.
Campaign for a Referendum was started in 2010.
The campaign has collected over 100,000 signatures in support of getting
Britain an “in or out” referendum on our continued membership
of the European Union.
Nikki Sinclaire was joined by Trevor Colman MEP, Mike Nattrass MEP, Kelvin
Hopkins MP, Nigel Dodds MP and Kate Hoey MP in presenting the signatures,
which were a combination of traditional
pen and ink signatures and online signatures through
www.haveyoursay.eu
The mobile surgery has visited many towns and cities throughout
the UK, collecting signatures and meeting the electorate.
We are delighted by the number of people supporting the campaign, “This
is giving voice to more than 100,000 people who want a referendum on
membership of the EU.This is an argument that has been going on far too
long. We must have a referendum, and the Government must abide by the
result.
We would like to thank all those who have signed the petition, who have
warmly welcomed and encouraged our campaign wherever we have visited.
We must not relent in the pressure
now, as we move the campaign into the next stage.”
In submitting100,000 signatures we will force a debate but we must continue
so that we can force a vote in Parliament with the ultimate goal of gaining
a national referendum.
