Three line whip or blackmail

So David Cameron imposed a three line whip on the members of his party. This from a prime minister who wanted open and transparent government who said that he would open debates up to the general public by opening E-Mail petitions. This proves that he is just a prime minister who is all talk  and no action. Whats the point of E-mail petitions if you may allow  discussions  in parliament but no further positive action. But to put a three line whip on your party is an abuse of freedom of speech especially as those MP's who opposed you who were only carrying out the wishes of their constituents. But the really sad part is that all the main parties have promised to have a referendum on whether the British people want to continue being in Europe. My own view is that we have to stop in Europe but only for such things as trade and defence issues, and even then how do you carry out defence requirements if there is a conflict of intrests between certain members. Human Rights, and law issues should be left to the parliament of this country. Even union legislation should have nothing to do with Europe. British workers work longer hours than in Europe only because wages are lower here than in Europe for similar type jobs. Will the government increase British wages to come in line with European wages, I dont think so because the manufactures say that that makes us more uneconomical, and businesses would have to go abroad, another lie that is impossed on the British, that doesn't seem to happen on the continent.   Cameron is not a democratic leader he's another person who has gained power by the ballet box just, but doesn't want to know what the will of the vast majority of people of this country now want.  As for Nick Clegg he's been a European minister so no wonder he doesn't want to change because we all know where his loyalties lie. Till the people of Britain get a real voice we are stuck with the same old rhetoric, the times not quite right for a referendum, so when is it right this year, next year, or some times never.
