Proceeding contribution from Baroness Hoey (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 24 October 2011. It occurred during Ministerial statement on European Council.
European Council
The Prime Minister must know of the growing division between the public and politicians. Does he have no concern at all about what will happen at 10 o'clock tonight, when all three party leaders will whip their Back Benchers in a Division on a motion that is not binding, and that seeks a referendum and future legislation in—probably—2013? Does that mean that once again, the public will say, ““Seventy-five per cent. of us would like a referendum at some stage. This Parliament is not listening””?
