[Update] Cameron promises EU referendum by October 2017

is there an election due in a couple of years because that's usually when politicians bring the issue of European membership to the forefront

Quote:
Voters should be "in no doubt" they will be offered a "real choice" on Europe at the next election, the Prime Minister has said.
"at the next election" does that mean that somewhere buried in the manifesto there will be some reference to possibly getting some obscure piece of EU legislation changed that won't really change anything ?


Quote:
David Cameron said any vote would happen within five years but refused to be drawn on whether a poll would include the question whether the United Kingdom should remain in the European Union
Maybe the problem is that it is too difficult a question to ask so i thought of a way to do it .get a piece of paper and on that paper write "do you want the UK to remain in the EU" and then put 2 empty boxes on that paper so a small tick can be placed in 1 of them ,then print about 50million of them and distribute to the general populace .simples

He said the Government was currently reviewing which powers should be repatriated back to Westminster, claiming the EU working time directive should never have been implemented.
Yes dave ,that will do for a start ,of course it is largely ignored anyway by workers and employers and we had almost identical legislation in place in this country before so won't actually make a difference .
