UK: No2EU – Yes to Democracy

UK: No2EU – Yes to Democracy confirms programme of election broadcasts as former Labour MP Alice Mahon declares her support

Left EU-critical list No2EU – Yes to Democracy will be appearing on television in a number of election broadcasts between now and June 4, the day the European parliament elections will take place in the UK. The list has been boosted by a declaration of support from leading left activist and former Labour MP Alice Mahon.
Mahon resigned from the Labour Party last month after 50 years of membership. She was the MP for Halifax from 1987 to 2005. In her resignation letter she said she could no longer be a member of a party “that at leadership level has betrayed many of the principles that inspired me as a teenager to join”. Her letter, sent to former colleagues in her Halifax constituency, was sharply critical of Labour’s failure to deliver a promised referendum on the Lisbon Treaty.
“If that Treaty is ratified”, she wrote, “we can say goodbye to any publicly owned services…… we will be handing over to private corporations, social services, education, transport and postal services. Even the NHS will be up for grabs”.
