Ten reasons to vote to leave The European Union
The European Project continues
1. Leaving the European Union is the
only way to ensure the restitution of U.K. sovereignty. By remaining members The European Courts will continue to impose laws upon our country which run
counter to the interests and wishes of the British people. This will make it
difficult at best and impossible at worst for us to protect our citizens from
terrorism. It will also allow the continued imposition of undemocratic rules
and regulations which dictate every aspect of our lives. By voting to leave we
shall take back the rights and powers to make our own laws sovereign once again
and re-establish the supremacy of the British House of Commons and the British
courts as the final arbiters of U.K law.
2. By voting to leave we shall finally
regain control of our borders and have the absolute right to determine who is
allowed to come here as an immigrant. If we should be foolish enough to vote to
stay, then we must expect an ever increasing number of migrants to come from
Europe to settle here. Inevitably, many of these migrants will be those
currently fleeing conflicts occurring in Islamic countries. This will swell the
number of our citizens who hold beliefs which run counter to our traditional
western values, and who we know from bitter experience, will harbour some, who
wish to harm us and who desire to impose upon us the humourless barbarism of
Islamic law. The only way to guarantee that this does not occur is to vote to
leave the European Union.
3.
The European project of ever closer political, social and financial
union of its member countries is doomed to failure. This is largely due to the
undemocratic nature of the European institutions and the disastrous policy of
allowing millions of Muslim migrants to settle in the all the major European
countries. This short sighted policy has, and will continue, to result in
ongoing difficulties, as the doctrines of Islam and the European traditions of
freedom and tolerance are incompatible. This clear incompatibility will
continue and increase as the numbers of Muslims living in Europe continues to
grow. Outpacing the reproductive trend of native populations, it is only a
matter of time before the tensions between Islamic immigrants and the
indigenous populations of many European countries results in either open
conflict, or subjugation by a deeply barbaric culture. If we wish to prevent
this scenario playing out in Great Britain then we need to vote to leave the
European Union and ensure that we prevent any further spread of Islamic culture
within our society.
4. We must resist the arguments being
generated by those who wish us to remain members of the European Union. Their
arguments concerning the consequences of voting to leave are mere speculation.
The uncertainties of leaving will I believe, offer new opportunities which will
far outweigh the certainties of remaining. Should we prove too cowardly to opt
for taking control of our own destiny then we can be certain to reap the
whirlwind of ever closer European integration. We don’t need a crystal ball to
see where the European project is headed. More integration, more harmonisation,
more migrants, more rules, more regulations, more unwelcome laws, more
bureaucracy, more interference, more costs and all at the price of less
freedom, less autonomy, and less sovereignty.
5. It looks increasingly likely that, in
return for a deal on migrants Turkey will be given an accelerated passage to
full membership of the E.U. This will allow a further 79 million, mainly Muslim
people, free and unfettered access to all the member states of the European
Union. Should we vote to remain, this will of course, include unrestricted
access to the U. K. These new rights will apply in addition to the rights soon
to be granted to all the migrants currently waiting asylum and citizenship in
Europe and who will also have the right to come and settle here in Great
Britain. This will be a disaster, not only for the cohesion of European
societies, but also for the ability of our nation to protect its own citizens
and control its own destiny.
6. Ever since the end of the war in 1945
there has been a steady and relentless erosion of the values of the European
enlightenment. This has been largely driven by the rise of four regressive
dogmas. These are: multiculturalism, political correctness, and moral and
cultural relativism. This four-pronged attack upon the values of liberalism,
tolerance and freedom has been inspired and strengthened by the European
project, which has focussed upon human rights instead of human responsibilities
and which has encouraged a culture of entitlement and grievance. Any society
which promotes the human rights of its citizens to the exclusion of their human
responsibilities is a society destined for the plug-hole of history. The complete
failure of the politicians and bureaucrats of post-war Europe to recognise this
has been a significant factor in the failure of Western societies to prevent
the diminution of enlightenment values and protect the British traditions of
freedom of speech and equality under the law. Should we vote to remain in the
European Union, then I believe we shall see a further erosion of the moral and
cultural identity of our nation.
7. To argue that we will be financially
better off inside the cocoon of the European Union and its single market is a
counsel of despair. It demonstrates a total lack of confidence in our own
abilities and resourcefulness. It also shows a lamentable lack of imagination
as it promotes the idea that the most important constituent in human happiness
is individual wealth. Personally, I
would rather see a drop in my income than anymore surrender of my freedoms and
culture. If we wish to build new trading relationships with the world then we
must have the courage to leave the E.U. and negotiate with all the new and
emerging markets across the globe to promote the excellence of our products and
the value of our services. To imagine that we shall not be able to achieve this
is a failure of vision, courage and determination, qualities which I believe
the British people have in abundance.
8. Had the European project been an
unqualified success then the arguments for us remaining members would be much
more persuasive. However, it is clear to everyone that our membership has come
with very high costs and very few benefits. The monetary union and the adoption
of the ‘Euro’ has been an unqualified disaster for many countries, and if we’d
taken the advice of the British Europhiles at the time and joined, it would
have been an unqualified disaster for us too. In this forthcoming referendum we
would be ill-advised to listen to those who lack the confidence, courage and
vision to believe that we are perfectly capable of managing our own affairs.
After all, trusting the European politicians, judges and bureaucrats to make
our lives better and more prosperous has not proven a roaring success up to
now. We must therefore, grasp this once in a lifetime opportunity to retake
control of our own affairs and determine our own future without constant
interference from the unelected bureaucrats of Brussels.
9. The predicted financial disaster
resulting from a vote to leave forecast by bankers and financial commentators,
should of course be treated with considerable scepticism. We must remember
that, by and large, these are the same infallible individuals who proved such
competent managers of the nation’s finances during the banking crises of 2008,
the effects of which are still keenly felt by us all. My own inclination is to
listen to their opinions and advice and then endeavour to do precisely the
opposite to what they recommend. The more I hear dire warnings of the
consequences of leaving the more persuaded I become that leaving is the
sensible strategy.
10. Before coming to decision as to
which way to vote we should all carefully examine the views from both sides and
ask ourselves exactly what is the motivation of each individual for their
specific arguments. For many, it will of course, be for perceived
self-interest. For others there will be political motives for career
advancement and even perhaps a genuine belief in ever closer political and
social integration with our European neighbours. The print and broadcast media
will also have their own, not always apparent agenda and will inevitably
campaign according to the prejudices of their owners. In the end though, the
decision will be ours. All I can do is to set out my personal beliefs and
reasons for wishing to leave and hope that my arguments may persuade some of
you to join me in trying to take back control of our own destiny.
