From Ironies Too, a snippet:
".......In previous polls taken by the Vote UK Out of EU Campaign, people across Britain have made their views clear – they want out.
They have had enough of the endless regulation, the ridiculous waste of billions of pounds of our money and politicians bossing us around who were not elected here in the UK.
In response to this widely held view, the Vote UK Out of EU Campaign has announced that it is to hold three independently run referendums in the party leader’s constituencies of Witney, Sheffield Hallam and Doncaster North. These will be run by the Electoral Reform Services and will be completely independent from the campaign. Paid for by campaign supporters including businesses, the campaign has been encouraged by emails of support and generous donations made online since the announcement of the referendum. Furthermore, individuals are now coming forward offering to pay for a referendum in their constituency."

This is an absolutely excellent idea. However a word of caution. While the organisers of the referendum will seek to maintain balance and fairplay, we can be sure that the BBC and other media will put the worst possible spin on this!!
Thought for the day
" What on earth is the point of paying £50 million per day, merely to suffer the ignominy of being nothing but a star on the flag of a hostile power"

So you get your longheld wish at last and we don't. Boo hoo.
JH: Actually in Witney it will be interesting to see how many of the Tory faithful do vote and which way.
