Referendum

I was sent a link to an E Petition by the owner of the democracy forum an unofficial UKIP site. The petition asks:

The Prime Minister to Offer the British people a referendum on continued membership of the European Union

I was completely new to the idea of E Petitions, which are described as thus:

Downing Street is working in partnership with the non-partisan charitable project mySociety to provide a service to allow citizens, charities and campaign groups to set up petitions that are hosted on the Downing Street website, enabling anyone to address and deliver a petition directly to the Prime Minister.

I know it will make no difference, but it would be a moral victory if we could get a huge number of people signing.
