Exclusive: Eustice Launches In / Out Wrecking Amendment

This just hit the inboxes of every Tory MP. Eustice was Cameron’s former Press Secretary, so you know it’s from the top:

Many colleagues have asked whether it would be possible to consider amending the current motion on an EU referendum next Monday so that is more closely reflects the views of the majority of the parliamentary party while being consistent with the intention behind the petition we have received.  A number of us have submitted the following amended motion which I hope you might consider supporting:  

“This House calls upon the Government to publish a White Paper during the next session of parliament setting out the powers and competences that the Government would seek to repatriate from the EU, to commence a renegotiation of Britain’s relationship with the EU and to put the outcome of those negotiations to a national referendum.”

In the meeting that we held early in September, there was a strong consensus among colleagues that the EU is now an issue that unites rather than divides Conservatives and that, now we are in government, front benchers and back benchers should work together to deliver a fresh start in our relationship with the EU.  This amendment is consistent with the coalition agreement which gave a clear commitment to examine the competences of the EU which a White Paper setting out a renegotiating position would fulfil.  The advantage of having a referendum after the renegotiation rather than before is that the public would then be able to judge whether or not the government had succeeded and this would put pressure on the government to negotiate forcefully.

There is no guarantee that this amendment would be called and I should also point out that, despite being consistent with the coalition agreement, it is not yet supported by the government.  However, they have given an undertaking to consider their position over the next few days and take on board representations received.  I would therefore urge any backbench MPs who feel closer to this motion than the one currently tabled to add their names to it.  Likewise, I would urge any front bench MP who would like the opportunity to vote in favour of the motion rather than be ordered to follow Ed Miliband through the voting lobbies to make their views known to the Prime Minister’s office.

Anyone who would like to add their name to the list must do so before 3pm tomorrow (Friday).  If you are not in London, please email my office.  We will be trying to arrange for someone to table names on behalf of those who are absent.  If you want to help and happen to be in London, please let me know.

Member of Parliament for Camborne, Redruth and Hayle

      Men and women of Cornwall get writing to Eustice to ask the heck he is thinking about, whether he has been bribed with a job offer by Cameron and Co and that you want him to vote for a referendum not an amendment.

      Cameron claims today he is proud of the UKs involvement- he acted outside of the UN resolution. The resolution did not mandate for regime change, help the rebels catch and kill Gaddafi, help rebels on the ground to win THEIR battle NOT ours. As I recall Cameron claimed we are in dire fiscal circumstance, there is a lot more to do in Afghanistan and he wanted to engage in another war that was nothing to do with the UK. On the other hand he is happy to make our brave military personnel redundant and join with the French to make a EU fighting force. According to Cameron we cannot even afford an aircraft carrier nor an independent military to defend our shores and interests. Cameron needs to go ASAP. Don’t believe a word he says.

            There will never be a referendum under this government.
            The result would be a resounding vote against membership.

            However, a referendum is against the interests of the political class.

            Democracy must sort out this issue before the men in black shirts start marching.

          • manfromupton says:

            civil war in the UK within 2 years, that’s what someone was told in the Italian government. This is what the agenda is, it may seem far fetched but if pitting us all against each other British vs immigrants, EDL vs Muslims, Scots vs English. If all this leads to violence then they can impose curfews and even martial law with perhaps foreign troops on British soil. There’s foreign riot police in Greece so who can say it won’t happen here?

    This is how the europlastic stooges set up by Cameron works isnt it? Any possible way to squirm out of taking a real genuine stand and the europlastics are right in there. Useless EUstice is as eurosceptical as Von Rumpoy, the entire reason for his euroslime lickspittle stooge outfit is to attempt to silence and destroy any demand for a referendum.

    This is how the Quisling Cameron works, the dirty tricks and the cynical ploys to deny the British people their right to decide their own future, the tragedy is that hundreds of euroslime Tory MPs will eagerly support the Quisling regime. The Quisling regime is determined to prevent the British people having their say on their future, they are petrified that we would say NO to the united states of Europe.

    If Cameron thinks we will fall for this blatant trick he is sorely mistaken.

          • David Laws Lib Dem fiddler says:

            £14 billion a year or £40 million a day going up to £60 million day in 2012. Cameron still claims we are in dire fiscal circumstance, he wastes a further £11.5 billion on overseas aid and yet the UK cannot afford an independent military to defend the country!!! Another innumerate from the Oxbridge PPE school of dunces. Alternatively he has too much money to consider ordinary adding up.

          • Rog says:

            The simple fact is that a dispassionate, honest cost/benefit analysis of our “membership” of the EU has been repeatedly blocked.

      • 15
        GeeGee says:

        We give £12bn but get £8bn back (figures from the IFS) so £4bn a year, less than 1% of the budget. Also that isn’t extra money, this referendum is extra money at time when the country is hurtling towards a recession.

          Those IFS figures are bullshit.

          Our nett contribution (Open Europe figures – 2007-2013 EU budget) is around 8 billion a year at the moment, since Blair halved our rebate.

          The referendum would cost two and a half days’ worth of EU contributions.

          If we’re ‘hurtling towards a recession’ then a referendum looks pretty good value before we are asked to stump up yet more money to bail out Zorba, Diego, Paddy et al.

We simply want the debate and then the chance for out voice to be heard, if those who want to us out the EU lose the vote then that’s fine at least we’ll know that the majority of people want the EU at the moment no one really knows that, it needs a referendum.

            Yet the main political parties can’t see that the refusal just continues to confirm what most people think of our politicians as a bunch lying, self-serving fantasists who have no interest other than increasing their bank balance and having their weird egos stroked.

      While I sympathise with you, there must be more than just greed that compels MPs to defy the will of the people and stick resolutely to EU advocacy.
      What is it? Are they wiser and really believe we must benefit from membership? Or are they under some inducement?
      What is it? I’m really curious to know. Can anyone enlighten me? Surely, knowing the mood of the electorate, there must be some mileage in being at least a Euro-sceptic, if not downright hostile. And yet you just know that they will wriggle out of even the blandest referendum. Why do they do it????

        From the 3 politcos I’ve had contact with in recent years the answer is they do not actually think most people should have the vote. They truely think they are some form of higher life that has access to greater wisdom. Most of our MPS are not democrats at heart, the system lets them make the right noises, but in reality the structure of the EU is more to their taste. We will end up with national elections that are meaningless but the real power will be ‘delegated’ from the enlarged EU political structures. That is why they support it they fear the people, they hate elections and see them as ‘getting in the way’ of doing the real work! We are moving closer to the edn of democracy than we think.

    The so-called compromise question is a pointless exercise full of ifs and buts – the only way there can be any renegotiation and repatriation of powers is if we actually leave the EU, (we’ve already been told in no uncertain terms by Brussels that there will be no renegotiation), otherwise we’ll be in exactly the same position as with the “votes for prisoners” fiasco.

    That’s why we need the plain and simple In/Out referendum promised by all three main political parties in their manifestos, (or perhaps I should say Books of Lies), and anything other than that is mere cosmetic political whitewash to hoodwink the sheeple.

    Billy Bowden is the greatest umpire ever ! says:

    Right wing political blogger,Guido Fawkes says even though Gaddafi was an odious dictator and a thorn in the side of Western countries for three decades, for the majority of Libyans their quality of life was perfectly fine.
    “They’ve had free education, free health, they could study abroad. When they got married they got a certain amount of money. So they were rather the envy of many other citizens of African countries. Now, of course, since NATO’s humanitarian intervention the infrastructure of their country has been bombed back to the Stone Age. They will not have the same quality of life. Women probably will not have the same degree of emancipation under any new transitional government. The national wealth is probably going to be siphoned off by Western corporations. Perhaps the standard of living in Libya might have been slightly higher than it perhaps is now in America and the UK with the recession,” she said.

    Guido Fawkes agrees the US have been quite unashamed in their statements about wanting regime change in Libya, which he believes is highly illegal.
    “It is also interesting to see that they are saying this openly when, of course, in the 1990s they were trying to assassinate him covertly through proxy organizations in Libya,” he said. NATO countries have sent advisors to Libya and Guido Fawkes believes that it was done to insure that humanitarian aid and human rights are upheld. However that might prove to be difficult. He says that nobody seems to be really trying to protect civilians in Benghazi or Sirte. Advisors or not, “Libya is descending into one awful mess.”

      Flatulent Veteran says:

      In our small country town (more a village really) the local middle-aged and older citizens hold Cameron in very poor regard. He is seen by most (remember these are the people who consider voting a duty and a pleasure) as a principle-free, opportunist, career politician. I have heard nobody disagree that he was keen to have ‘his war’ early in his tenure and that the issues were not important to him. The war was to enhance his standing as a ‘statesman’. I should add that we have always been considered a Tory town.

      Most tellingly, we agree that he is a Big State Socialist and engineered his position to power by lies. Just as did Tony Blair, who has no socialist principles but is prepared to commit great crimes in order to gain money.

      Like most socialists, Cameron will avoid democratic process at all costs, in case the citizens ask him to do something that we are simply too stupid to understand. Ironically, in our town, there is a very high proportion of very highly qualified voters as we are close to 4 Universities and more than twice that number of FE colleges. We also have a lot of very high tech factories and commercial research units in the vicinity.

      Sadly, he lacks the intellect to understand that leadership is not best done by forcing people to do as you and your few close friends want.

      Some years ago, I offended a friend, who went to a public school, by saying that there was a tendency for these schools to feed the ego’s of their pupils more than their reasoning skills. I had been reasonably content to have ‘Dave’ in office until, after watching one of the first PMQ’s, where he became angry and rude.

    What we have instead as Prime Minister is a cross-breed. Somewhere between Harold Macmillan (“Stoke up inflation, dear boy!”) and Edward Heath (“Set full sail for Europe, dear boys!”).

    It’s not too hard to see where all this is heading, and the final destination will not be an agreeable one.

      I don’t mind paying for the people that I trust to do the job in hand.
      I would much rather be paying 300k to someone who I had complete faith in than 65k to someone I wouldn’t trust to run my whelk stall.
      Politics has been de-based by people that are my intellectual inferiors. It must be time to change the incentives and the criteria for gaining that position of trust and power over me.

            It’s one of the oldest stories known – older than the Old Testament.

            Barbarism and disrespect, even to scum like Gadhaffi, lowers you to their level.

            Sometimes it is necessary that a tyrant is seen to die. That was the case for Gaddafi as it was for Ceauşescu. Their supporters have to be told that they won’t be coming back. Such scenes are always going to be ugly. If the dispatchers are trained soldiers with an objective to kill, who recognise that anything beyond achievement is unproductive let alone demeaning, that is one thing. But a braying mob is never going to have the finer feelings 1.) of respect or 2.) the prospect of disclosure resulting from a trial which would strengthen their case against the aggressor.

        Gaddafi was an evil son of a bitch and probably ordered the deaths of thousands of his own citizens bot to mention sponsoring terrorism against this country and blowing airliners out of the skies so I weep no tears for this bastard getting “tapped”

        Of more concern is the fact that despite Western politicians telling us that Libya is now to enter a period of freedom and democracy I am a bit sceptical.
        I suggest for all the rhetoric about Democracy etc the West has not the faintest idea whom we’ve actually backed;the NTC is riddled with factions united only by their hatred for Gaddafi and who are not above killing their opponents within the NTC even when still fighting Gaddafi;we have armed militia some if not all who will be unwilling to lay down their arms …What’s to stop them taking up arms against the NTC if they don’t like what they perceive as reforms.Do we know if their ranks are infiltrated by AQ or similar ? I very much doubt it. Whilst hoping for the best..I fear the worse and much like Iraq before… the West may have just opened up a very dangerous can of worms……….the death of Gaddafi isn’t the end of the worries over Libya despite all the joyous celebrations there and in the West and amongst the western media such as the BBC who has usual are indulging in a veritable “wankfest” to the exclusion of all else

          Secondly the country is very very rich in oil.

          Thirdly all that money has been hived off into gaddafi’s own bank accounts for private jets, posh palaces, jetset travel etc whilst the majority of the population has lived on $2 per head per day for the most part without proper access to education or healthcare (unless of course you have believed gaddafi’s propaganda like bliar and mandy did)

    Another eurozone emergency meeting for next wed !! whats wrong this time not enough decafe , too much salt , still or carbonated mineral water , less bent bananas .

    Doesnt the farce just to go to show why sovereign governments work , in that someone is responsible and makes decisions .

    The more worrying news is that no deficet reduction measures seem to have emerged yet , no good bailing out a still wonk defecit producing economy is it .

    funnily enough Harry Enfield may have been way ahead , but got the charctures stereotyping wrong , Stavros should be greek finance minister , and Loads sa money should be barroso .Its a shame Kenny Evverit isnt still with us , to report on EU meeting

    night night

The last Quango in Paris says:

Mr Bryant and Mr Watson managing to make the whole hacking affair look like a farce – the more they moan the less I care about the whole subject! So partisan it beggars belief at all costs. They cannot rise above it ! If I was to call the PM a ‘liar’ I would want to be VERY sure.
