28% support for EU

The European Union was hit with more bad news today, with a new poll showing that overall public support of the EU project dropped by 4% since a previous survey.

Austria – which takes over the EU presidency in January – leads the pack of those most against EU membership.

The poll found that 50% of those questioned thought that membership of their country in the 25-nation bloc was “a good thing”.

A previous survey conducted in the spring had EU support at 54%. Support was the lowest in Austria, with just 25% thinking their nation’s membership of the union was positive.


Britain was second lowest with only 28% supporting EU membership. The highest support was found in tiny Luxembourg, with 82% support of the EU.

The survey comes in a year of setbacks for the EU, after French and Dutch voters rejected the EU constitution in May and June.

EU leaders did, however, manage to get a deal on new slimmed-down EU spending plans at a summit last weekend.


BRING ON THE REFERENDUM!

It's time for our leaders to face up to what we want and stop being traitors. We want out. We don't want to be in the EU anymore and only crappy insignificant countries like luxembourg want to be in. If we do not get a referendum it might be time to elect a government that will give us what we want that doesn't sell us out.

Our government will never let us decide without the British people demanding it so please sign this petition for an EU referendum in Britain.
