Nigel Farage reacts to Cameron ‘promise’ over referendum

After David Cameron produced the draft Bill for a referendum on the European Union, planned for 2017, UKIP Leader Nigel Farage MEP has responded: "This promise does not have the weight of law because no parliament can bind its successor.  The EU referendum bill is 490 words long with the Scottish Independence Referendum bill is over 62 thousand words. It´s evident, this bill was scrawled up on the back of an envelope in a few hours, and it is meaningless.  Cameron has promised to campaign to stay in the EU come what may. He has also made un-kept promises before. No-one believes him now.  This bill is the last desperate play on a man in a panic. Sadly for him, he has now come onto UKIP turf, and on this issue, UKIP will surely win."
