In this constituency, and over 60 others around Scotland, people will be standing as Referendum Party candidates. Those standing are not politicians but care passionately that the people should be able to make their views on Europe heard through a referendum.
Discussions will be held about further integration of Britain into Europe including decisions about Britain's right to decide foreign policy, to organise national security and control borders. The party is asking people to lay aside traditional party loyalty because they feel that this issue towers above party politics.
When a full referendum has been achieved, the Party will disband.
