UKIP Deputy Leader - Well done to the 15
Date published: 22 November 2013
The 15 MPs who today v(22 November) voted in support of an In/Out referendum being held next year have been congratulated by UKIP Deputy Leader Paul Nuttall.
Adam Afriyie’s amendment to bring forward the referendum to 2014 was rejected in the House of Commons by 249 to 15.
"I am happy to congratulate those 15 MPS who had the courage of their convictions to stand up and be counted. They are clearly politicians of principle while meanwhile it appears many Conservatives just want to use the issue as a means of getting re-elected.
"A survey has just revealed that 82% of those citizens polled are against opening the doors to Romania and Bulgaria in January but today's referendum debate is another example showing that the political elite are not listening," said Mr Nuttall, North West MEP.
