Rejected petition Hold the referendum on EU membership at the 2015 General Election

More details

We call on the Prime Minister to hold an "in-out" referendum on E.U. membership at the time of the General Election on 7th May 2015.

This will ensure that whichever party wins the election will have a clear mandate for action on this issue.

The public have not been able to express their views on this matter in a referendum in the past, since the 1975 referendum was on membership of the EEC, which is very different from the current shape of the EU.
