The Prime Minister
There have been occasions when countries have voted in referendums, or indeed when we have voted in this House on treaty proposals, before they are adopted and implemented by every other country. What I have said is that we need changes that are legally binding and irreversible, and those are the changes I seek.
Mr Dennis Skinner (Bolsover) (Lab)
The Prime Minister said that he ruled “nothing out”. If he loses this referendum, will he resign?
The Prime Minister
This referendum is the Government’s policy, and the country will decide whether we stay in the European Union or leave the European Union. What I am doing is giving the country the very best choice there can be—by a vital amendment to the status quo—but in the end it will be Britain’s choice.
