Leave Campaign in Morley for EU Referendum

Leave Campaign Bus in Morley

I was involved with the Leave referendum campaign last week when the Leave bus brought campaigners to Morley to listen to what Morley Folk has to say.

Although the rain poured down there was a very positive reaction towards the Leave Campaign with many Morley Folk confirming their intention to support Brexit.

The Leave Campaign has broad support across the political spectrum with Labour big hitters such as Kate Hoey, Frank Field, Austin Mitchell and Gisela Stuart joining with Boris Johnson and Michael Gove from the Tories and Nigel Farage from UKIP. Leave also has the support of some Trade Unionists who see the EU as an undemocratic and unaccountable organisation as does the Communist Party of Great Britain!

On the In side you have the bankers – Goldman Sachs and the others along with Tony Blair, David Cameron and George Osborne, the bosses union the CBI, the International Monetary Fund and others who have benefited and got rich because of their association with the European Union.

It’s clear Brexiteers are in favour of Europe but not the European Union – an organisation that hasn’t had it accounts audited for many years. The EU is unaccountable and undemocratic foisting on voters much of what they don’t want or need. Our destiny is better in our own hands rather than in the hands of self-seeking bureaucrats.

I’ve campaigned for years for decision making to be brought back down to a local level with decisions taken as close to the communities that are impacted upon by those decisions. A vote to Leave is the only consistent position I can take as I genuinely believe in bringing power back to the people – a concept entirely alien to the army of faceless bureaucrats that run the EU.
