Rejected petition Referendum on leaving the EU

More details

In light of the German and French plans to impose a financial transaction tax on all EU countries rather than Euro members it is time to leave the EU. This is an aggressive and most unfriendly gesture to the UK, which would pay the lion's share of the costs of this proposal.

It is predicted it could cost the UK economy £13 billion and damage the economy badly. We can I'll afford this kind of damage to the economy. Why should we pay to prop up the Euro, which can now be seen to be an experiment gone badly wrong. Let it fail.
