UKIP Press Release on Referendum

For Immediate Release 14:00hrs 19th April 2004

EU vote to decide UK's continued membership despite Tory denials

Any vote on Britain's acceptance of the proposed EU Constitution will decide the nations future membership of the European Union, the U.K. Independence Party said today.


UKIP quoted comments from European Commission President Romano Prodi who said, "states which consistently rejected change would effectively exclude themselves from the Union. You cannot ignore the fact that if a country says "No, No, No, No', then it is a decision of the country to stay out. You don't even need to expel it."

UKIP MEP Nigel Farage said, "It is clear from Mr Prodi's remarks that this referendum will be about not just the Constitution, but Britain's continued membership of the EU.


"The Conservative Party and Michael Howard have adopted a ludicrous position on this. It is inconceivable that the UK could reject the Constitution and yet still remain an equal member with 24 other states which had accepted it.


"At last, there is a realistic opportunity for Britain to re-gain its independence from Brussels, despite what Mr Howard may think."
