A Bill to quit the EU: debated in the Commons this Friday

William Hague has apparently told the Germans that disillusionment with the EU is "deeper than it has ever been". No kidding.

We Brits, apparently, feel that we've had "no say". Perhaps those who view the world from King Charles Street have analysed something correctly for a change?

This Friday, my Private Members Bill to get us out of the European Union is – by a stroke of luck – second item on the Order Paper for the day. Unless the Whips office mount an operation, there is a realistic chance that the prospect of quitting the EU will be debated on the floor of the Commons.

Far be it from me to bang on about Europe, my Bill was, of course, chosen from me by thousands of readers on Guido Fawkes website. Crowd sourcing, you might say. All very modern and Silicon Roundabout.

You can read the draft Bill here. You can watch the debate on Friday. Do email your own MP and ask them to attend the debate.
