Petition We DON'T want an in/out referendum on EU membership

More details

We the undersigned think Referenda are detrimental to the principles of representative democracy in this country and undermine the sovereignty of Parliament.

There may be a case for a referendum if there is a proposal for major constitutional change or at the time of a new EU treaty being proposed.

However, spending millions of pounds of taxpayers money on a referndum about EU membership at the current time, when there are no major treaty changes proposed between the member states of the EU, would be a waste of money and time when the world is in economic crisis.
