As of June 2014, all three of the established Political Parties in Westminster have stated that they are opposed to having a referendum on whether the UK should remain a member of the EU before the next General Election in May 2015. The Liberal Democrats state categorically that they are the Party of Europe and that the issue is too important to go to the Country and decided upon by the Electorate. We are too stupid. The Labour Party insist that they will not support a referendum unless a new Treaty is proposed that affects sovereignty. This, however, is meaningless as under the Lisbon Treaty and Qualified Majority Voting (QMV) by the Council of Ministers under the Passerelle principle, there is no need for any further Treaty change before we can find ourselves in a declared Federation of Europe. There is already sufficient legislation from the EU in place that we are, in effect, already in a de facto state of Federalisation. David Cameron, the Leader of the Conservative Party has, under pressure from a large percentage of his back benchers, stated that if the Conservative Party win the 2015 Election outright, he will hold an In or Out referendum before the end of 2017. Cameron states that it is his intention to negotiate with the EU before the referendum in order to repatriate a number of the more important competences back to the UK and to present them to the Electorate for their consideration before the referendum. The only way we can push for a referendum is to VOTE UKIP! th-eu-nit/index.php/blog/4999-democracy-in-a-federalised-europe-part-six-will-we-ever-get-an-honest-referendum
