Stephen Metcalfe MP: Help us win historic EU Vote

Stephen Metcalfe MP is urging people from South Basildon and East Thurrock to help him and the Conservatives in their bid to secure the first EU referendum in 40 years.

This follows news that the Prime Minister has launched a new campaign website, www.LetBritainDecide.com, which makes it simple for people to join the campaign to back the Bill about to go through Parliament which will pave the way for a vote in 2017, after a full renegotiation.

www.LetBritainDecide.com aims to “build public pressure, to give people a voice, and to urge MPs from other parties to listen to their constituents.”

Stephen said: “Britain deserves a vote. It’s been nearly 40 years since the British people last had their say on Europe and I know that the people of South Basildon and East Thurrock want to change this.”

“People feel the EU is heading in a direction they never signed up to. That is why Conservatives want to give Britain a clear vote – in or out – before the end of 2017, after a full renegotiation.”

“A draft Bill to make this happen will soon be debated by MPs – but, crucially, it needs the support of other political parties to pass. Britain needs everyone to build public pressure on this. That’s why we are launching LetBritainDecide.com today: to give people a voice, and to urge MPs to listen to their constituents. Please sign up today at www.LetBritainDecide.com and make your voice heard.”
