Rejected petition Pull out of the European Economic Community

More details

With Greece economically finished and Italy threatening to follow suit that would leave the UK with a £43 Billion additional debt, this country cannot afford to waste its money on a failing institution like the EEC.

With a million unemployed young people, we can only restore the UK economy by stopping economic migration which is an unmitigated burden on public services. This would cease to be a problem once we pull out of the EEC.

As we get all our luxury goods from the Asian tiger economies, which are increasing in strength this century, it make better sense to secure effective trading links with the wider part of the world which was responsible for putting the 'great' in Great Britain.
