Dear Friend,

The National Liberal Party was originally going to stand for London Mayor. The party has been campaigning in the Southall area for the last two months and we have been gaining support.

In the meantime however the Prime Minister called a referendum on whether the UK should leave or remain in the EU. As self-determinists we believe in the right of peoples to choose their own future and that will usually to be become, or remain, independent.

The last vote the British people had on the EU was in 1973. Since then the EU has turned from a free trade area into a nascent state. This flies in the face of history as the idea of a United States of Europe died (or should have) at the end of the Cold War.

The issues of democracy, sovereignty and borders are so vital that we felt that it was much more important than the Mayoral election. The latter will come round again but a vote on the EU may not.

The National Council have therefore decided to withdraw from the GLA election in order to concentrate on campaigning for a Leave vote at the EU referendum because our relationship with the EU is the most important national issue we face in the country today.

VOTE LEAVE!

The NLP has joined with the Libertarian and Friend’s parties in a new vote leave campaign called Global Markets Free Nations (https://www.facebook.com/globalmarketsfreenations/?fref=ts). We urge all our supporters to join the Facebook group and support the campaign.
