LONDON: Andy Burnham, frontrunner to become leader of Britain's opposition Labour Party, threw his weight behind the idea of a referendum on the country's EU membership, and said he would demand it took place in 2016 if he becomes party leader.
Burnham's pledge to back a referendum is a break with the left-leaning Labour Party's existing stance, which has been to only back a referendum if there was a substantial further shift of powers from London to Brussels.
He said the vote was needed in 2016, earlier than the Conservative government's current timetable for 2017, to clear up uncertainty for British business, as he launched a leadership campaign with a series of interviews on Sunday.
"Under my leadership the Labour party will not be a grudging presence on that stage. We will now embrace (the referendum.) It should be brought forward to 2016," Burnham told the Observer newspaper on Sunday.
"It is not going to be in anybody's interest for this to rumble on through this parliament," he added.
British Prime Minister David Cameron, re-elected in the general election earlier in May, said this week he would hold a vote on British EU membership earlier than the end of 2017 if possible, after reshaping Britain's ties with the EU.

Following the Tories majority win at the UK Elections, it seems with all the top level political changes that have taken place that everyone is now scrambling to support the UK EU Referendum.
What we continue to witness here is as Daniel said in Daniel 4:17"This matter is by the decree of the watchers, and the demand by the word of the holy ones: to the intent that the living may know that the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will..."
The angels of God were at work ensuring that Britain will leave the EU, and it now seems this might be sooner rather than later.
Yes, despite all the politicising by the various parties and politicians, Britain will keep moving in the direction of leaving the EU which is now assured under the conservatives who as Cameron has said will implement their manifesto to the fullest!

So yet again we see the hand of God at work in the nations to ensure that His purpose unfolds on the earth. Britain will leave the EU of this we can be certain as this is a matter of Bible Prophecy. In the Bible, God has long said (2,500 yrs ago to be exact) that Britain will not be a part of the European Union when Russia and the EU invade the Middle East.
