- People's_Pledge abstract "The People's Pledge is a political campaign that seeks a referendum in the United Kingdom on the European Union. It aims to achieve this by getting voters to sign a pledge to help secure a majority of Members of Parliament (MPs) in Parliament who support an EU referendum. The 1975 European Communities membership referendum was the last time such a vote had occurred in Britain. Directed by Mark Seddon and with cross-party support from sitting MPs and other politicians including the Mayor of London Boris Johnson, and Labour party head of policy Jon Cruddas MP it aimed to put particular pressure on marginal seats. According to British Labour Party politician Kelvin Hopkins: "While those who initiated the People’s Pledge campaign are primarily Eurosceptic, it has support from those who take a different, pro-EU view, but who wish to see the issue properly resolved by a vote of the British people." More than 128,000 voters and 87 MPs have so far signed up to the campaign. The Campaign in September 2012 were announced as the secretariat to the APPG for an EU referendum, with Conservative MP John Baron acting as the groups chair.James Forsyth writing in The Spectator asserts that Boris Johnson signing the Pledge has made an EU referendum almost certain. "The Romford Pledge might not have the same ring to it as the Tamworth Manifesto. But Boris Johnson’s decision while campaigning last month to sign up to the campaign for an in/out referendum on EU membership could be a key moment in the history of the Conservative party — the moment when the party’s balance of power tipped decisively in favour of a referendum." Along with Forsyth, Paul Goodman of ConservativeHome and Leo Mckinstry of the Daily Express have cited the success of the campaign as a main reason why a referendum is now a possibility.".
