THE purpose of our Parliament is to make law which benefits, not hinders, British citizens. For the past ten years our "career"

politicians have failed us in their task. It's not possible in a short letter fully to list their failures, but it's obvious they now make law to benefit themselves, not we citizens.

Britain is an island and our "career" politicians are now passing its control to Europe without our consent. They say they want to shape Europe, but we did that in the 1940s, so why do it again? When our grandchildren want to regain control of this island, they will have to fight a war to do so. Is that what you want?

We must stop sending our "career" politicians to Parliament.

Please do not vote for any political party in any election. A "No Vote"

return will be the signal for a real leader to come forward to stop the mess we are getting into.

A "No Vote" return will also be the signal that we will follow his lead to regain control of our island.

We do not want war, we want to trade with Europe. We do not want to be part of "reshaping" Europe as do our "career" politicians.
