Rejected petition Referendum on EU membership

More details

The EU has been thrust upon the people of the United Kingdom without a proper vote on whether we want it. It is not right that the UK parliment give lawmaking powers to the EU parliment when it has not been approved.

The EU has no democratic legitimacy until a referendum is held and lying to the people through manifesto promises isn't going to be forgotten.
