Over recent years, people have become accustomed to the feeling that our elected representatives do not represent their views.  This is especially the case where the European Union is concerned: over 50% of people now feel that the EU is a bad thing for the United Kingdom, but until recently only one of our MPs agreed.  The BETTER OFF OUT campaign is a non-party organisation committed to making the positive, constructive case for Britain leaving the European Union.

Whilst we are happy to trade with our European neighbours, we are keen to see the UK trade globally, too.  As China and India boom, it would be foolish to restrict ourselves to trading only with the continent.  Like it or not, Europe is not going to be as important in the future as it has been previously.  There is a clear opportunity for the UK to take advantage of the economic opportunities currently on the horizon, and missing out on those opportunities can only cost us jobs and income.  Membership of the EU, which restricts trade with the outside world, severely threatens that positive future.

Thousands of people nationally have joined the campaign, distributing 450,000 leaflets in six months.  Slowly but surely, our representatives are coming round, too.  A whole range of MPs, Lords, MEPs and Councillors from across the political spectrum have pledged their support.  With your help and the millions of others who agree, we can build a positive future for the UK as a nation trading with the whole world.
