CAMERON'S IN/OUT REFERENDUM ON EU -- Updated 1 June, 2016


PM DAVID CAMERON
UPDATED: 1 June, 2016 --
Vote for the IN/OUT of EU is on 23 June, 2016 and already scandals appear that non-British people have received voting cards. Is it a slip-up or not. Can we have one guess?

UPDATED: 22 May, 2015 -- Well, the voters fell for it again and hopefully for all our sake Cameron will deliver this time. Time will tell.

UPDATE: 16 February, 2015 - - There are definitely great changes on the way. PM David Cameron promised now to bring the referendum forward to 2016, Ian Duncan Smith, head of the Department of work and Pensions, found all the right keys on his I.T. to set up the promised Universal Credit and is able to pay the people their due money in only a few months' time. Banks and Corporations start paying their taxes and the Treasury already received hundreds of thousands of pounds. Will the voters fall for this again? Hopefully not. Remember 2010!

UPDATE: 22 December 2014 -- The referendum on IN/OUT of the EU being amended and the Labour Party demands more amendments. Details are not given to the public. The major issue is, in the public eye, that David Cameron promised in his election manifesto in 2010 he would give the people of Britain a referendum if he won the election. It could have been a major point for people putting their mark in the wrong box. As you can see his promises were never met. 

Now it is 2017 by which he is hoping to be elected again. Would the public fall for another promise which might or most probably might not be kept again?  In General the public had the worst austerity and nothing but false promises. It might change now because the election is coming closer.


UPDATE:  22 June 2013 --  David Cameron put now an IN/OUT referendum to the vote of House of Commons MPs. The many stages are called reading and the first reading of IN/OUT was almost unanimously voted for OUT. The second reading for 2017 was turn down by the majority. Everybody demands it now and had been demanding it for long time. David Cameron dragged it out and now it is too late for passing it through the various stages to be effective before the general election in 2015. It was nothing but a election stunt and Cameron thought he could get away with it.Now he will sign another treaty for seven years throwing tens of billions of pounds to an EU which nothing but squanders money by the millions and billions. Well done Mr Cameron.


UPDATE:  4 April 2013 -- Does David Cameron really still believes he can retrieve the power from Brussels or is he only trying to blind the public to stretch the time till he can sign for another seven years? The public is up in arms and wants out because of the money wasted in 

At long last David Cameron announced his true intention of not having an in/out referendum on EU. It was revealed during the PRIME MINISTER QUESTION TIME.

The House of Commons has a rule of having a Prime Minister Question time in Parliament where he has a duty to be accountable to the British People when he is questioned by MPs. The Speaker of Commons points at the MP who had raised his/her hand and is then allowed to put his/her question forward.  Prime Ministers can be evasive but still have to answer the question.

Mr Cameron did not comply with this rule when asked by the Labour MP Chris Bryant about the links between Downing Street and Mr Murdoch. Mr Cameron’s answer was that until he receives an apology for accusation he will not answer the question. This was against the rules of the Parliament but Mr Cameron, not so surprisingly, got away with it because the Speaker John Bercow did not call David Cameron out of order and made him answer the question. 
.
It was totally out of order because the very name Prime Minister Question Time says it all and is part of democracy.

Then Labour MP Natasha Engel put the question to Mr Cameron that Education Secretary Michael Gove stated if there would be a referendum on in/out of EU, he would vote to leave.  She asked the Prime Minister how he would vote.

This time Mr Cameron answer was that he does not want an in/out referendum because he is not happy to leave the EU. At long last Mr Cameron speaks his true intention as before he was hedging all the time.  No wonder the press calls him ‘Dodgy Dave’.  A Prime Minister is there to state openly his intention and inform the public. And not dodging and diving, thinking the public does not see it.

He has done the same with signing papers granting Scotland the right for an in/out referendum of the United Kingdom. Soon after that he stated that he does not want Scotland to leave which is completely contradictory.  Deep down he does want Scotland to leave because there is the majority of Labour voters which would or could dip the scale in the next general election.

Regarding the EU Mr Cameron stated further that he thinks the majority of the public wants a new settlement with the EU. The new settlement will be in a referendum put to the people to vote on. It will also be put into his next manifesto. Mr Cameron safe yourself for both, the time and paper. As he so arrogantly put it that the ‘majority’of people will not vote on either of it.

Mr Cameron also enlightened the public that he intends to put it into his manifesto which is  a pledge to seek  to negotiate the repatriation of significant powers from Brussels. This will be followed by a new referendum to choose between the “new deal” and the status quo. However, there will be no mentioning of in/out of the EU on the pallet papers.

Doubtfully these pledges and promises would stop the Tories’ MPs migrating to the UKip who are determined about the in/out vote.  Mr Cameron still thinks that he can smokescreen with fine words and pledges. The public never seen one pledge fulfilled from the last election manifesto. Also the words to pledge to seek negotiation to repatriate powers from Brussels are to thin to be believed.  Mr Cameron seems to be turning more and more into a man who convinces himself during his speeches and feels full of pride about having delivered a great speech but as they say "action speaks louder than words".

UK CHANCELLOR GEORGE OSBORNE -- UPDATED 23 May, 2014


UPDATE: After reading this report from 2012 it is interesting in respect that you can see nothing has changed ever since. 

Even after calls in 2012 for his resignation, which David Cameron did not accept, Chancellor George Osborne has not issued one good budget ever since. 

The country gone to ;pieces with his austerity but still will not change his policy. Even the IMF, Germany and France advised him to stop. Now, he and David Cameron dancing about that they achieved a 0,3 per cent improvement in the economy. 

While they are hopping about but ignore Germany three per cent and the USA seven per cent from countries which did not apply austerity. It proves it all while Mr Osborne still carries on with austerity and in spite of it all borrows billions of pounds more. 

Let’s go back to March, 2012 when Chancellor George Osborne announced his budget. A budget which surely had been prepared for weeks and read by quite a number of the top politicians. 

Eventually when it was read out there was quite an uproar in the House of Commons. Amongst the points which were implemented was the so called Granny tax. An addition which pensioners have to pay if they work on after their retiring age plus National Insurance. 

A number of other cuts of previously installed benefits by the Labour Party to help families with children. Additions such as 3p of fuel tax on petrol already sky high and so on.

Since budget was read there were so many u-turns it must be dizzy by now. This does not give a good picture of a financial expert or his colleges who work with him on it. It never happened before that so many points were cancelled after a budget.  In other words Mr Osborne made a mess.

If any ordinary person in a company would produce such an almost useless document he or she would be sacked. But Mr Osborne still carries on as the great Chancellor. Furthermore, the government had a double-dip recession in the first six months in spite the idea of austerity. Anybody with half the knowledge of politics and economics knows a cut-back slows down the economy. The Conservatives inherited not a great economy because of the credit crunch but not as dismal as they make it out. They could have built on it and improved the economy.

Now we come to the Barclays bank scandal where the libor (Interest rates charged on loans from one bank to another) was rigged by top executives.

At the Questioning Time in the House of Commons Mr Osborne tried to shift the blame onto Labour. This immediately backfired because Shadow Chancellor Ed Balls denied any involvement in rigging the Libor.

This statement was furthermore backed by the Bank of England’s deputy governor Paul Tuckers.  He claimed several time that Ed Ball or any of the Gordon Brown’s government were never involved. He emphasized that in 2008 he spoke several times with bank bosses because of the credit crunch.  However, he pointed out that neither the government (Labour) nor the Bank of England ever put pressure on Barclays or any other bank to rig the rates.

Surely Mr Osborne or his adviser should have thought such statement, if not true, has a very short life.  Looking at the almost useless budget and now the embarrassing statement being denied by all parties concerned it makes you wonder if Mr Osborne trying to commit political suicide? In view of this entire incompetent not one word is uttered of resigning or being asked by the Prime Minister to resign.

Mr Tucker stated further he was appalled by the revelations including Barclays fixing the Libor rate. He called it a cesspit and went further that it could be just the tip of the iceberg with corruption rampant across the City.

The Labour Party is now demanding a complete change in the City and Banks.
