The text of the letter that ReferendumList.org have sent to all MPs.
Dear MP,
In mid-October, the EU aims to have finished writing the Reform Treaty which will signed by Gordon Brown at the EU Summit in December. Mr Brown has repeatedly refused to honour the Labour Government's manifesto commitment to hold a referendum on the proposed Constitution, which nearly all informed Continental observers agree, the Reform Treaty is in substance.
According top a recent ICM Poll (21 June 2007), overall 86% of voters want a referendum.
83% of Labour voters want a vote to be held on the text, as do 88% of Lib-Dem and Tory voters.
88% of trade union members want a referendum.
We are running a research program into elected MPs' and selected PPCs' attitudes towards a referendum, and the results will be displayed on a searchable website: ReferendumList.org
Our questions to you are as follows:
- Do you support the people's call for a Referendum on the EU Treaty?
- Will you actively call for and support a referendum in the House of Commons?
If an MP does not reply, it will be assumed that they are not in favour of a referendum and that they are in favour of Parliamentary ratification only.
Yours sincerely,
Chris Mounsey
