NIKKI SINCLAIRE GIVES NUNEATON THE CHANCE TO “HAVE THEIR SAY” ABOUT EU
Issue Date: 28th January 2013
West
Midlands We Demand a Referendum Party MEP Nikki Sinclaire will be
sending her Have Your Say Battle Bus to Nuneaton on FRIDAY 1st February from 10am – 3pm. Nikki’s team will
be on hand to answer questions from constituents, as well as offering the
chance to pledge their support to demand a referendum in the European Election
of 2014.
Nikki has
been highly successful in her campaign for a referendum, and has delivered
almost a quarter of a million signatures to Downing Street calling for people
to have their say about the EU. Nikki wants a referendum so everybody has a
chance to register their say on whether we should be a part of the European
Union, and the West Midlands has contributed over half of the 220,000 signature
total.
Anyone under
the age of 55 has never had the chance to speak about this issue, which Nikki
believes is a breach of our democratic principles. The last time the UK held a
referendum on the Common Market, as it was known then, was in 1975 – and even
this was retrospective. Despite the fact that this campaign could leave Ms
Sinclaire without a job, Nikki is passionate that people be given a voice in
deciding whether it is right that:
·
The
UK contributes £50 million per day to the EU
·
75%
of UK laws are decided by the EU yet the UK only has 73 MEPs in the Parliament
out of a total of 736 MEPs
·
Each
day we buy £5 million more from EU countries than they buy from us.
Nikki
Sinclaire said, “European Law is rarely conducive or indeed relevant to
British industry or infrastructure. The EU takes almost £50 million a day of
our money for the privilege of belonging - money better spent in this country,
where we need it most - on our hospitals, on our schools and in supporting our
pensioners. When will the political elite realise that Britain cannot afford to
remain in this Parliament?
Mr David Cameron won’t let the people decide on this issue.
It is time that we demand a referendum on this crucial issue.”
Like many
towns and cities across the UK, Nuneaton faces mounting cuts to public
services. Nikki finds it a disgrace that even as the British public tightens
its belt, the EU approves budget hikes and other measures which will impact on
the British pocket.
Nikki’s team
will be in Nuneaton from 10am until 3pm on Friday 1st February to
talk about Nikki, and to inform people about her new political party, the We
Demand a Referendum Party.
