Below is a letter
Molly Scott Cato sent to Stroud News and Journal recently.
17/10/2013
Dear Editor,
In Stroud News and
Journal on the 7th October, Neil Carmichael is quoted as saying, “I do not think we
should be holding a referendum before the general election.”
While the
Conservatives seem reluctant to enact their promise of a referendum, Labour's
Ed Miliband remains oddly quiet on this issue. If he and his party wish us to
stay in the EU then they should have the courage to say so.
The Green Party's
position is one of heartfelt support for the European Union and the protection
it offers to working people and our environment. We support a referendum which
would give us a chance to have an open debate about the costs and benefits of
our membership. We also say "yes" to the need for significant reform
of the European institutions, and particularly the need to strengthen the role
of the Parliament.
Molly Scott Cato
Green Councillor
and MEP candidate
