AN Independence from Europe, by Mike Nattrass MEP

AN Independence from Europe tops your ballot paper.

It is led by Mike Nattrass MEP, who has stood at elections against the EU takeover since 1994. A vote here is a vote to leave the EU. The party currently has two MEPs and eight Councillors.

AN INDEPENDENCE FROM EUROPE rejects EU domination, as laws must be made at Westminster.

Currently, EU pressure for its members to "privatise" services causes concern. This fashion leads to threats of the privatisation of the NHS privatisation, which already struggles with debt due to excessive interest charges from private funding.

The NHS does not need privatisation of parts of the service, providing yet more costs and loss of coordination.

The global trading UK is restricted by EU domination and regulation. Leaving the EU will provide better trade with the world, including our Commonwealth and the EU.

Liberation from the EU will close “open borders.” The UK will control the influx of people by work permits and scrutiny, easing pressure on housing, schools, hospitals and local authority services, whilst helping to employ unskilled workers and the young.

The cost of EU membership (more than £55m a day) is wasted money, which should be invested in the UK.

The EU, having failed its accounts for 19 years, shows no sign of stopping massive levels of fraud.

The party say that back in the 1970s, Edward Heath assured voters that “The Common Market” was about trade and would not affect sovereignty.

The status changed to European Union (note the word Union), and the President of the Commission now states, “This is the new European Empire into which you have pooled your sovereignty.”

The fraud of our entry and surrender into the hands of the EU is well-known, and the people of the UK should repudiate any illegal agreement seeking to take power from Westminster.

Regulations, many unsuitable for the UK, are set into concrete by the EU. Changes, approved by all 28 countries of the Union, make alterations next to impossible.

Thus, privatisation of our postal service and post offices was lead by EU regulations stopping subsidy and opening up the “monopoly”.

The Lib/Lab/Con Party voted for these regulations with apparent glee. The subsequent result has been increases in stamp costs, more junk mail, and Post Office closures.

Both party MEPs voted against these EU measures.

An Independence from Europe says that Westminster is the place where UK law and regulations must be made, not Brussels where “one size fits all” and bureaucracy rules to the extent of insanity.

A vote for An Independence from Europe is a vote to leave the EU.
