"Mr President, I can say with some certainty that, in times of austerity, my constituents do not want their taxes spent on political campaigns and propaganda. I voted against these proposals that seek to further the use of pan-European parties, with all their expense and their ideology of promoting EU federalism. The majority of people in the UK do not share an EU identity. In successive EU elections, people have used the elections to express their disapproval of the EU. Opinion poll after opinion poll shows dissatisfaction with the EU and a wish for a referendum. My constituents do not wish to hear propaganda, paid for by their taxes, telling them how great the EU is. They feel the reality of cutbacks in public services, whilst the UK pays more and more to the EU – a luxury we cannot afford.
In 2014 the We Demand a Referendum Party will put on the ballot paper those words, ‘We demand a referendum’. This will allow the electorate from the UK to send you, and our government, a message, loud and clear, that we demand an in-out referendum."@en1
