On October 27th rallies took place the length and breath of the United Kingdom to campaign for a referendum on the EU Constitution.

The rallies in London and across the UK - the first stage of the CIB's "Rolling Thunder" campaign designed to force the government into holding a referendum - aim to highlight the far-reaching new powers that the treaty seeks to give the EU. The treaty makes the European Union a single legal entity for the first time, with an EU Head of State and EU Foreign Minister (known as a "High Representative") as well as abolishing the UK's veto on many significant areas of policy.

London Rally

In London over 1000 people gathered outside Parliament to hear Conservative politicians Bob Spink MP, Roger Helmer MEP and Daniel Hannan MEP joined forces with UK Independence Party leader Nigel Farage MEP, Liberal Party councillor Steve Radford, "Metric Martyr" Neil Herron, and Danish MEP Jens-Peter Bonde to call on Gordon Brown to "let the people decide" on the EU Treaty.

The Westminster rally, coordinated by the cross-party Campaign for an Independent Britain (CIB), was the first of a series of protest rallies throughout the UK calling for the Prime Minister to honour his party's manifesto pledge to hold a referendum on the draft European Constitution.
