about 200 people can be bothered to go to the referendum rally in our capital city?

The British people dont deserve an EU dictatorship, but it is slowly happening bit by bit. We have to stop it.

The EU is a bit of a non issue for most people. The only people really bothered about the EU are those who either campaign for or against it.
For the vast majority of people, whether or not we have a referendum on the EU is an extremely low priority issue compared to the economy, the NHS, education, law and order, e.t.c, e.t.c, e.t.c. That's why UKIP are stuck on around 3% popular support, and is also why there are always such low turnouts in European Parliament elections.
So I'm not surprised only about 200 people attended the referendum rally. And no, the British people don't deserve any kind of dictatorship. But, I reckon most people are far more worried about the errosion of our civil liberties by the UK government, rather than about anything the EU is doing.

Being connected with the EU has its advantages, however Britain has been a succesful collection of nations for far longer and in all honesty i think most British people would agree that we can stand on our own and that an EU dictatorship as you put it is far from the best interests of the UK

As the question is do we deserve an EU dictatorship, the answer is a definate no. Will we get one ? The answer is probably yes, but it will probably be a good thing and I do not think that apathy merits reward.

I don't think it was given enough publicity! On answers there is a lot of support but in the wider world the majority of people werent aware it was happening. I told quite a few myself. The trouble was its a long way to go from here to London and not all can afford it. Why couldnt there be some more country wide venues?

I take your point billy, it was disappointing! Unfortunately it does go someway to prove Gordon Brown right,many cannot be bothered to put themselves out over the EU which explains why we as a country are where we are today.There are many,many raised voices against the EU Dictatorship but putting their words into action appears a little to hard...

We don't really want to be a part of the EU as mainland Europe don't really understand us. I know I live in Scotland but I don't want it to have independence from the rest of the UK as I think divided we will be weaker so as a little island the whole of the UK should stick together and forget about the rest of Europe.

Having been conned in the first referendum I do not intend to be conned again. The sooner we are out of this particular corrupt gravy train the better

Nobody deserves it! Just as in the States in was done in private and sneaking those policies in. People are realizing that they will in fact loose sovereignty and that it is Socialist Communism
