John Baron MP calls on Liberals to back EU Referendum

MP says Nick Clegg should resign if not

In light of the results of the European elections, as Chairman of the All-Party Parliamentary Group for an EU Referendum, John Baron MP has called on the Liberal Democrats to back the Conservative commitment to an in/out EU referendum in 2017 – even if it means replacing Nick Clegg as leader.

John said,

“The Liberals’ refusal to honour previous manifesto promises and support an in/out referendum is no longer tenable after these European elections. Voters clearly want their say. The EU has fundamentally changed since we joined it. If Nick Clegg doesn’t get it, then he should move on.”
