Great! As the USA big federation was not enough an outsanding proof of a weak an evil monetary system, extremly bad economy police and a goverment that is so militatry, financial and media strong that is completely out of control.
Now EU leaders want to sell us the very same deal: more slavery and blood, for a lot more of debt and some oil. Can't wait...We are completely screwed.

The Daily Mail is renown for crap, but if this turns out to actually be vaguely true of what he said he wants, his days in Downing Street are numbered.
Like you, i want a referendum...actually i demand one.

Fact is, the lisbon treaty that was forced on us is illegal as the ratifier of the treaty did not have a mandate from uk voters.

That's a fairly remarkable comment coming from the person who posted the Daily Mail article as the lead for this thread

Your grasp of the British constitution seems a bit limited. The ratifier of the treaty was the UK parliament which was mandated by the previous General Election & to suggest that it was an illegal act is absurd. For heavens sake, even Bill Cash wouldn't suggest that which is saying something. You don't seem able to grasp the difference between a policy that you disagree with and one that is unconstitutional.
Similarly, if you are going to use opinion poll data to support your arguments you need to understand the difference between leaving the EU and keeping the pound, (i.e. remaining outside the Eurozone); that would give your posts a little more credibility.

One could argue that as Parliament was elected, it had a mandate..
But...
In the past several elections, we have been promised either that no more powers will be given away, or had the prospect of referenda dangled in front of us at election time, only to be recinded once the election is over.

Which brings me on to Alec Salmonds speah today..
he took great pride in declaring that Scottish finaces are in better shape than the UK's as a whole, because the UK ran a deficit and Scotland had a surplus for the past 4 years.
