Petition Hold a referendum on Leaving the EU and rejoining EFTA

In 1960, the UK and other countries created EFTA; the European Free Trade Association - but sadly our Government decided to take us out of it in 1973 without our consent.
Now the EFTA countries including Switzerland are more prosperous than EU members - let's hold a vote about rejoining this bloc.

More details

The EFTA countries have close trade links and co-operation with the EU but are free to sign their own trade deals and retain greater autonomy than any EU member state. Read more: http://www.efta.int/
