The team will be in Burton Upon Trent tomorrow: more details below.
NIKKI
SINCLAIRE GIVES BURTON UPON TRENT THE CHANCE TO “HAVE THEIR SAY” ABOUT EU
Issue Date: 23rd May
2013
West Midlands We Demand a Referendum Party MEP
Nikki Sinclaire will be sending her team to Burton upon Trent Market on Friday 24th May from
10am onwards. 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 £56 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
·
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, Burton 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 have their own stall on Burton Market this
Friday.
