Finally the people of the United Kingdom will actually have their say on the EU , Well the people of Luton north London will (at least it’s a start) as ITV's Tonight programme, hosted by Sir Trevor McDonald, is staging an EU referendum in Luton. Three thousand local residents (although Luton has a total population of 202,500) will have the chance to vote 'Yes' or 'No' to the Lisbon Treaty, and whether to stay in or come out of the EU.

The Democracy Movement is leading the 'No' side and supporting DM activists on the campaign trail so far have been the Labour MP for Luton North, Kelvin Hopkins, together with Thomas Rupp and Gayle Kinkead from the European Referendum Campaign.

'Pop svengali' music producer and Pop Idol judge Pete Waterman has also pledged his support for a 'No' vote, as has Bob Crow - RMT union leader and chair of Trade Unionists Against the EU Constitution.

The programme will be broadcast on ITV at 8pm, Monday 13 October so set your recorders now you know how annoying it can be when you miss something.

Thats a pretty smart move by the YES group,Luton is choc full of Europeans.

If the YES group win it, they will never shut up about it,ever.

If the NO group win, it will be by a narrow margin,it will be called as just being a little fun,and then quietly forgotten about,for ever.

We will see.
