Rejected petition Bring the EU referendum forward to Spring 2016

The British people demand that the EU referendum which is scheduled for 2017 be brought forward to the spring of 2016. The signatures within this petition demonstrate a 'no confidence' in Europe vote and the British people feel that the UK cannot wait until 2017 to have our voice heard.

More details

We believe that the UK government, voted into power by the people of the United Kingdom must have sole and total control of all decision making which will affect citizens of the UK including UK law, border control and world trade and feel that a 2016 referendum is of paramount importance to the future of our economy, security and ultimately to the future of our children.
