Do you want to quit the EU? July 5th is a key date

I've been campaigning to quit the EU all my adult life.  Seven months ago, I presented a Bill in Parliament to get us out, and helped mobilise support for an In / Out referendum.

Now at last the House of Commons is going to vote to enact legislation for an In / Out referendum.

On July 5th, James Wharton MP presents a Bill to make that In / Out vote a reality.  I will be there to support him. 

But will the Bill pass? It could, we are in with a chance. While the Conservatives do not hold a majority, it is not just Conservatives who want a referendum.

There are good, patriotic MPs in every party. There are those on all sides of the House who recognise that the democratic case for an In / Out vote is now overwhelming.  Why not add your name to this campaign to pile pressure onto your MP?  Click here now. 

If the House of Commons votes to give the In / Out referendum a second reading in a few weeks time, it will be a historic day.  The beginning of the end for our forty year dalliance with Europeanism?
