The Cameron Campaign Pamphlet.

Re: The Cameron Campaign Pamphlet.

How do you deduct that a referendum by the Dutch to reject closer ties with Ukraine is an indication that the Dutch want to leave the EU?
That's stretching it a bit.

I read that bit from the BBC article about the vote, ie that those who do not agree with the EU triggered the referendum by getting the required number of signatures and made the referendum about the EU rather than the question of Ukraine.

I think people are sceptic of the EU project and in times of austerity we feel that services are being put under pressure. More people needing services with less money in the pot means that arguments suggesting that saving money from leaving the EU becomes more appealing.

I am voting to leave the EU. I think regardless of which way the vote goes that at least the argument will be done and dusted and we can then move on.

But are the BBC to be trusted
The Dutch referendum was "Are you for or against the Approval Act of the Association Agreement between the European Union and Ukraine?" That is NOT a referendum on leaving the EU.

<sup>Also less than 33% of the electorate voted.
61% against.

That means approx 20% of the electorate voted against letting Ukraine in.
Hardly an indication that the Dutch want to leave the EU !

Who are the BBC spinning for?
