It was right to have a referendum on devolution and it would be right to have a referendum if the executive were going to go push for independence.

Is the key motivation behind your campaign a desire to minimise the EU's strangehold over British legislation or simply an effort to give the people a democratic voice, whatever their decision?

The whole question has been blown wide open again by the Irish no vote. We will be fighting to stop the verdict of the Irish people being circumvented by undemocratic means. The whole European political class is involved in an effort to smear the Irish as ignorant, and to carry on as if nothing has happened.

The French Europe Minister says, "I don't think you can say the treaty of Lisbon is dead even if the ratification process will be delayed.” The German Foreign Minister says, “We are sticking with our goal for it to come into force. The ratification process must continue.” What arrogance!

Clearly, people who thought the treaty was dead, just because people had said no to it, were mistaken. The Irish no vote means nothing to the euro elite. We will be working to make sure the verdict of the Irish people is respected.
