offering more constructive rationale over the effect of Brexit. The EU is a declining trade bloc, and
globalisation – thanks partly to evolving technology and the internet – has fundamentally changed the
way we trade. Britain should be outward looking in her approach to trade and the bureaucratic,
restrictive EU doesn’t aid us in this goal.
Lastly, those on the left should be emphatically opposed to what the EU stands for: centralising power in
the hands of a few to the benefit of career politicians and large corporations. It is not progressive and its
careless management and relentless drive towards the single currency has caused mass unemployment
across vast swathes of Europe, while its backdoor TTIP deal with US companies will ensure NHS
privatisation is irreversible.
The EU’s abysmal track-record on listening to European citizens in referendums provides unequivocal
evidence that it cares little about democracy and far more about centralising power for multinational
companies and growing its influence on international affairs no matter the cost. The EU doesn’t care for
you or your family and it’s time the British people put a stop to this nonsense by taking control of our
own affairs just as we did pre-1975. All of the evidence, all of the figures and all of the trends suggest
very strongly that the EU is fundamentally flawed and is shrinking at a rate of knots. Why would you
vote for more of the same? We, the world’s fifth largest economy, should be excited to enter a new
phase in our rich history as friendly European neighbours rather than bickering tenants inside the EU
gravy train.
