nourishing obscurity

Well, predictably, I’ve been hacked and can neither sign in to the Albion Alliance site [which is still up] nor to the forum.  When they can’t answer the political questions, they prefer to go for the dirty tricks.

It’s all a bit pointless really because we just rest everything from scratch [20 minutes], issue new passwords and permissions and away we go.  What do they hope to achieve?  If the site goes down, we set up a new one.

We’re not to be dissuaded in this task but we need to be aware of underhanded tactics by those who don’t put out country first.  There is a lot being played for and there are even those on our side of politics who would not want Albion Alliance to succeed.

UPDATE:  I’m back into the site but not the forum.  Working on it.

Mission Statement

Meanwhile, we’ve seen the necessity to get the message both updated and reflecting what we want to say in under 300 words – 300 words being the comment limit at many sites.  With that in mind, we’ve run the following past a few people and honed it.

It’s not necessarily the final document but this is what we have so far:

The key policy statement that the economy must be tackled first and that a referendum be discussed only 18 months after the general election, is fundamentally wrong and unacceptable.

Instead:

1. There must be a referendum on EU membership within one year of a new parliament, including the option of total withdrawal or a trading agreement, in order to “clear the decks”;

2. Given a No vote, then all laws inimical to Britain, both EU and homegrown need to be reviewed and repealed and a fundamental overhaul of all sectors of society needs to be undertaken.

Many of our political leaders are ignoring and even blocking this. The response that it would be electoral suicide to offer the people a voice just doesn’t hold water. It would be suicide not to do so because opinion polls say that we want it. Albion Alliance is also contacting all candidates for the next general election and asking them to commit to this principle:

I pledge to work tirelessly to give the voters of my constituency a democratic and direct voice in the United Kingdom’s continued relationship with the EU, to support any motion for a referendum on that continued relationship, and to vote positively for any Private Members Bill that may call for such a referendum, written in clear concise terms, irrespective of Party Whip and to promote the same, with a view to the successful outcome of this pledge within one year of a new Parliament or sooner.

We are publishing all responses when received – yea or nay – and preparing lists of which candidates said what, to be publicized around the UK prior to the general election.

The people want their voices heard. You can help us by signing at:
