My Private Members Bill pushing for a referendum on Britain's EU membership is coming along nicely.
Thanks for your suggestions on the precise wording of the ballot question.
It's sometimes implied - often by SW1 people - that an "in or out" referendum is impossible. Too complicated. Not practical. Too many legal issues now tied up in Europe now etc etc ....
I've always taken the view that that which Parliament has made, Parliament can unmake. And just to be sure of the legality of the proposed question, I'm seeking a formal statutory opinion from the Electoral Commission (as sanctioned under the Political Parties, Elections and Referendums Act 2000). They are being very helpful.
Once I've their response, I’ll publish the formal Bill.
