Incidentally, Jay, if you think exactly the way I do on Europe, wouldn't it make sense to register a protest vote by voting UKIP at the next election?

To be honest Wyn I haven't given it that much thought, the time to do that will be if I'm around in 3 years time and that is a big if

Re: Northern Parliament
You could try writing a letter to Conservative Head Office, Jay, to the effect that you will vote against whatever candidate they propose until they promise a referendum.
If enough folk did that, it might give party bosses (of whatever stripe) pause for thought.

How do you know I'm a paid up member? Either way it doesn't matter. Point is I want an MP that supports and will vote for a referendum, no matter what their respective party leader says. The fact that Graham's party is not in government makes no difference, he still gets a vote in Parliament on the issue if it's raised.

A more effective way is to refuse to vote for any MP or candidate that isn't in favour of a referendum. They'll soon change their tune if enough people speak up.

Re: Northern Parliament
Can't see the point in having a Northern Parliament when we don't have a British Parliament.
At least not one that has a say in anything that looks after our interests.

The writing isn't important. What would be significant are the opinions of a faithful supporter, one who believes that there is a fundemental issue on which he feels let down by the party. If enough folks like you start to complain, bitch even , they might just listen. Same goes for the other party supporters.

well if a certain MP says he will support a vote on the EU i wont be fooled twice and i hope no one else will either infact i hope any opposition quotes what he said he would do on this site and what he actually did when they are out canvasing.
i want an MP that represents the people of his area not an MP that is nothing more than his party leaders little bitch
Hope i dont get the labour cronies sent round to my house to show me the error of my ways

Sorry Eric but I'm not the "faithful supporter" as you put it, politics plays no part in my life at all, in fact if I didn't use Accyweb, it wouldn't enter my head at all, I've enough trouble breathing these days without bothering what Call Me Dave will be doing anytime soon, its up to the younger generation to do the lobbying now, I have done more than my share in the past and now I've moved on
