Hammersmith Referendum
Ealing, Acton and Shepherds Bush MP, Andrew Slaughter,has failed to get his facts right. For clarity the local Tories did not spend anything on this referendum. They did, however, support and get involved in what was an indepedent and cross party campaign to remind elected MPs to keep their election promises, promises which Andrew Slaughter has broke by not voting for a referendum on the Lisb Act going through parliament last week. Expert research has documented that The Treaty is 96% the same as the Constitution. All parties at the last election promised a referendum on the Constitution. Mr Slaughter should remember what his parties manifesto committments were and not hide behind technicalities of cally it a treaty not a constitution. The way it has been structured is such that it needs detailed analaysis to understand exactly what is in the treaty therefore hiding from the electorate and MPs what the real content and trasnfer of sovereign power is.
