Europe
We must rejoin the EU as soon as possible. Leaving inflicted massive self-harm and represents a disastrous failure of British political leadership and governmental institutions.
The lies told then and perpetuated today are an indelible stain on the Conservative Party.
| The Peoples Party supports: |
|---|
| rejoining the European Union at the earliest opportunity |
| joining the Schengen Area and adopting the Euro |
| in the interim, taking all possible measures to eliminate the bureaucracy and costs of Brexit |
Britain will be markedly poorer and less secure until we manage to rejoin. Leaving the EU has impoverished everyone, whether through lost growth, inflation, extra borrowing, higher taxes, delays, shortages, lack of influence over regulations, unripe food, loss of freedom of movement, reduced life choices, missed opportunities, or additional bureaucracy.
The claimed “benefits” of leaving in no way offset these costs. The EU is more than just an economic union. It is a political ideal in which Britain should play its full part. Yes, the EU is not perfect; there is scope for change and reform, and we must work with others to ensure its future relevance. The EU enhanced and protected our sovereignty rather than diminishing it.
Those who led the Leave campaign repeatedly lied to the British people and deliberately put personal ambition ahead of the national interest. We must hold those responsible personally accountable for their treacherous actions.
