We still haven't won the arguments we lost

It is a poor reflection of the pro-Remain campaign that even two years after the referendum, much of Britain is still basking in shocking ignorance about how the EU functions, the reason it exists, and how it is a democracy run by its members for the benefit of its members.

Two years later, nobody can explain Brexit

Ten days after the win for Leave in the EU referendum, Remainers were in a state of shock. And we still are.

Brexit vote: what next?

The unexpected has happened: Leave won, and now everything is uncertain.

Suddenly, the country and our futures have been plunged into the dark. Nobody knows what will happen next, not even those who so strongly campaigned for Brexit. 

First 7 days after Referendum shock

We’ll all remember Friday morning 24 June 2016: the news that Britain had voted by a small margin to leave the European Union. 

Everyone had expected the country to vote to continue with the status quo: 43 years of membership of the European Community. It was not to be. 

EU Referendum result: Disunion

The markets closed in positive territory yesterday, firm in the belief that Britain was going to vote to remain in the European Union.

Brexit campaign wants end of the EU

So now the truth is out. The ‘Leave’ campaign don’t just want Brexit – they want to see the end of the European Union.

A reminder: What has the EU done for us?

So now we know that the EU referendum will take place on Thursday 23 June 2016 and the battle-real has commenced. Unlike in a General Election, every single vote in the referendum will count. Nobody can claim that it’s not worth participating. Every vote will be equal.
