Talk:United Kingdom European Constitution referendum

message: Is the legislation for the referendum up for debate or amendment?  Mr. Jones 22:02, 24 Apr 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: Not currently, but the Electoral Commission has a degree of legal obligation to recommend any needed reforms (I'm not certain how wide a scope they're allowed to consider) and Parliament always has the power to amend it at any time, in any way it chooses.

Well yes, but parliamentary time needs to be allocated to that. I'm not sure what the process by which that happens is, or how the use of time is announced.  Anybody know? Mr. Jones 13:42, 7 Jul 2004 (UTC)

message: When's the referrendum date to be announced? Anybody know what you need to do to register to vote?  Mr. Jones 13:27, 7 Jul 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: In haste: Treaty will be signed on 20 November in Rome, see Treaty establishing a constitution for Europe. Referendum date will not be announced for a while yet, Blair won't be pushed into fixing a date because of the need for parliamentary scrutiny of indeterminate length. Registration for voting will be as for any election or referendum - sign up to the electoral roll. You can do this partly online at . Toby W 23:53, 7 Jul 2004 (UTC)
thread_title:  Announcement of date? Voting. 

message: Is this a consultative process or a legally binding one? The link from the constituation page calls it a "consultative referendum".
:According to the BBC, the UK referendum will be legally binding. See e.g http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/3954327.stm#unitedkingdom. Pcb21| Pete 14:05, 6 Mar 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: consultative

message: Will Anguillans, Bermudians, British Virgin Islanders, Caymanians, Falkland Islanders, Gibraltarians, Channel Islanders, Manxmen and Manxwomen, Montserratians, Pitcairn Islanders, Saint Helenians and Turks and Caicos Islanders be consulted during the United Kingdom referendum on the European Constitution? Thanks.
::(Generally) no - only the United Kingdom and Gibraltar (and not any other of the BOTs, SBAs or Crown dependencies) will be able to vote in the referendum. This is from the European Union Bill that was introduced in the last Parliament. It's only fair as only the 4 nations of the UK (ie England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland) and Gibraltar are actually part of the EU - the other territories are not. David.
:The official line is that anyone able to vote in a UK general election will be able to vote in the referendum. This is a slight point of contention because some UK citizens living elsewhere in the EU - who would arguably be among the groups most affected by the adoption or otherwise of the constitution - may not therefore get a vote if they're no longer registered to vote in the UK.

message: In response to the question above, the EU is not generally portrayed as an economic threat in the United States.  (China, and India to a lesser degree, are perceived as the greater potential threats to the American economy.) The U.S. media, for the most part, has no dog in this fight.

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: I've just read this page for the first time and there are 17 "Citation Needed" templates added. It would appear a lot of this text has been for many years, which is bit worrying. I'm going to try and find references, but it may be necessry to remove statements for which no source can be found. I believe in assuming good faith edits, but there must come a point where verifiability trumps that.Seaweed (talk) 17:28, 13 November 2016 (UTC)
