As  a theoretically conspiratorial footnote to yesterday`s rant about Dave Cameron`s referendum speech, it occurred to me that there are cunning plans afoot by kicking the EU referendum deep into the undergrowth for years to come.  As well as the delays and the uncertainty of it all meaning that a good number of ageing malcontents such as me might well be daisy pushing by the time any vote is held, there is also the business of voting rights for `EU citizens` resident in the UK.

It seems that EU citizens resident in the UK can register to vote in UK elections with the possible exception of Parliamentary elections.   Now, assuming any EU referendum is not classed as a Parliamentary election, then given just the estimated 20 million Bulgarians and Romanians expected to arrive here in the next couple of years to plunder our benefit system, decimate our housing stock, hospitals and schools, they along with their fellow EU migrant chums who are already here, could form a very significant proportion of `Yes` voters if we are ever asked whether we want to remain in the EU.  

After all, turkeys don`t vote for Christmas.
