We will have a referendum on the UK's membership of the European Union - the legislation has begun its passage through Parliament. Today - UKIP's south east regional conference gets underway with Nigel Farage telling supporters to begin campaigning for OUT now - rather than wait to see the results of David Cameron's promised renegotiation.
"I am not saying UKIP on their own can win this referendum, I am saying we are an important part" - Nigel Farage, UKIP leader.

Putting big issues to the popular vote is not without risk - in 1992, the Danish people voted NO to their government ratifying the Maastrict Treaty, the agreement that created the European Union and laid the ground for the single currency.

The former secretary general of NATO, Anders Fogh Rasmussen was a Danish government minister at the time - he helped negotiate the treaty and signed it.

鈥淚 hope that the UK stays within the EU, we need the British approach to European politics鈥� - Anders Fogh Rasmussen, Danish politician.
