Proceeding contribution from Richard Shepherd (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 20 June 2005. It occurred during Ministerial statement on European Council.


European Council

Central to opposition to the European Union has always been the question of democratic and accountable governance. Now that the people have come to realise that the network of treaties, institutional arrangements and European courts has denied them the opportunity to form the laws that they want, will the Prime Minister honour the pledge that he gave on the Floor of the House of Commons to have a referendum, notwithstanding what other countries did, so that we can finally drive a stake through the heart of those anti-democratic propositions?
