Rejected petition Small Government is not compatible with membership of the European Union

More details

We recognise & support the present governments desire to reduce the size of government BUT do not believe that this can be achieved whilst we still have big [& expensive] government from the European Union. We petition the government to acknowledge this & allow the people of this country a referendum on continued membership.
