"BREXIT" REFERENDUM : DEBATES WILL NOW START !


Before listening to all the main Party Politicians pleading electors to vote "to stay in or to leave" the EU, one should remember that this vote is not for a Political Party.  It is a free vote, in accordance with one's own conscience, to decide whether Britain should stay in this "International Organisation",  called the EU, or to leave it !

This is perfectly illustrated by the politicians who are already  trying to convince Electors to vote for a Brexit or not, in spîte of their usual political party adherances !

Cameron has obtained a deal in Brussels, but he too must now explain the importance of how in future this will help and protect Britain.  Already 5 of his Government Ministers are not happy with what he has obtained and will be explaining why !

However, Cameron does have some new allies, from the Socialists and the Scottish Nationalists parties.   Corbyn the elected but distrusted Leader of the Labour Party, will probably only be able to muster a minority of Labour faithful.  How the others will vote is not clear.

Nicola Sturgeon, the Leader of the Scottish National Party (SNP), which was defeated in the Scottish Independence Referendum last year, could bring a large following of Scottish Electors because, as she explained in that campagne, Scotland wants to be in the EU !

Other Leading British Politicians will probably join the debates this week, but they all know, in the end it will be the Electors on June 23, 2016, who decide if Britain is to remain in the EU or not !
