Closed Referendum on Fracking (Shale Gas)

Closed on

Because of the potential environmental impacts, we hereby call for a full public debate and a referendum to be held on the future of Fracking [Shale Gas] in the UK.

Something of this scale, with the potential risks, should be a decision for the British public.

We also call for any 'pro' and 'anti' fracking campaigns to have equal funding.
