There is only one party that supports immediate withdrawal of the UK from the EU….

UKIP

But not only does it support and advocate this, it also supports and advocates the next logical step which is….

(Swiss style) Direct Democracy

That is not the brand of democracy that Daniel Hannan is campaigning for…

Oh No…

Voting for hundreds of troughers to represent the people is a pointless exercise, they always end up supporting their paymasters rather than their voters.

The 111 MP’s that voted against the LibLabCON yesterday made no sacrifice. In fact I wouldn’t be surprised if many of them hadn’t been instructed by the whips to vote as they did….

Gotta show a token (losing) vote, otherwise the “democratic” HOC would look like a soviet vote, or one of those general elections that Sadaam used to hold.

Of course, the honest thing for that 111 to do, would have been for them to announce immediately after the division, that they were joining UKIP.

The Labour vote was designed to embarass Cameron, if one looks at the Labour people that supported the motion, they are all genuine lefties (with the exception of the oleaginous Vaz). If Labour had voted for the proposal the CONservatives would have been comprehensively defeated, they wouldn’t have just embarrassed Cameron, they might have actually triggered this faux referendum…. and that would never do.

The reality of “our relationship” with the EU is that we are not in a “relationship” we are owned by the EU, just as our legs are joined at the hip to our bodies. The acquis communautaire decrees that we accept the EU (warts and all) AS IS…

THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS TAKING BACK POWERS.

So the theatre that we witnessed yesterday, with the UKIP outside and the LibLabCON inside the HOC, is not much more than a sideshow. The most vitally important part of this whole democracy thing, is NOT that we withdraw from the fascist European Union (although that is important)…

Rather, it is that we the people win the right to trigger a genuine referendum either locally or nationally ON ANY issue, AND that the petitioners’ question is what is presented…

NOT some theatrical, moronic and downright criminal compromise, as presented in the HOC yesterday.
