We Want Our Vote On Europe
The Albion Alliance is not a political party, it’s not affiliated to any political party. It’s a cross-party movement which has two main objectives:
1. To address the democratic deficit in the current political system by ensuring that MPs place country before political party.
2. To ensure that MPs agree to actively sponsor, promote and support, a Bill in Parliament that allows a referendum of the British People on membership of the European Union.
In this regard, all candidates are requested to sign the following:
I pledge to work tirelessly to give the voters of my constituency a democratic and direct voice in the United Kingdom’s continued relationship with the EU.
I pledge that I will sponsor a Private Members Bill, written in clear concise terms, calling for a referendum on Britain’s membership of the European Union – and/or support any motion for such a referendum – and to vote positively for any Bill that may call for such a referendum, irrespective of Party Whip, with a view to the successful outcome of this pledge within 1 year of a new Parliament or sooner.
Remember that MPs are elected to enact the people’s will – not the other way round!
We need you to support our efforts by signing up to join the Albion Alliance, but we also need you to put extra pressure on these candidates by writing to them yourselves. They must see the level of grassroots support for a referendum on the EU, and they must understand that they may lose votes if they will not let the people speak.
Albion Alliance is maintaining a searchable database of Candidates so you can see whether they have agreed to the pledge or not.
We ask that if you do write to them, send us a copy of your letter and any response to it and we’ll add it to our list, because we believe that public exposure and accountability is one of the best tools we have available to us. If you can, write to your local newspapers and tell them what you and the Albion Alliance are doing.
Sign up here and let us have your support.
Here are some draft letters you could use.
Here is our forum where these matters are discussed.
