re: [Update] The UK votes to leave the EU
Quote:
SENIOR MPs from three different parties have joined forces to launch the campaign for Britain to leave the EU, The Sun can reveal.
The Tory, Labour and Ukip MPs’ new group is a major moment ahead of the landmark In/Out referendum, to be held in as little as 12 months’ time.
David Cameron suffered a major blow last night when three of his most senior MPs revealed they will lead the campaign to pull Britain out of the EU.
Owen Paterson, Bernard Jenkin and Steve Baker also accused the PM of selling Britain woefully short in his bid to renegotiate our membership.
His former Environment Secretary, the ex-shadow defence secretary and prominent backbencher are acting after becoming convinced their party leader is not asking for enough powers back from Brussels.
A total of seven senior Parliamentarians have formed the Exploratory Committee (ExCom) to put together the No campaign and call on Brits to back a Brexit in the landmark nationwide vote.
Also in the group is ex-Labour Home Office minister Kate Hoey, UKIP’s Douglas Carswell and veteran Labour MPs Graham Stringer and Kelvin Hopkins.
The Sun can also reveal the group have been meeting in secret for a month since the general election.
And the MPs have already won major cash funding promises for a No campaign

The "NO" campaign getting into gear early as they know that Cameron won't get any serious changes to our relationship with the EU.
