Cross Party Groups to Maintain Close Relationship to Europe
We had a pretty exciting weekend with lots of street action. After the deluge of Friday night put paid to our efforts to do our customary Wood Street protest, we met on Saturday lunchtime in the town centre of Swindon, and to our amazement people were almost snatching the leaflets straight out of our hands! …
Our priority now is to get as good a deal as we can along the lines we promote in our petition here. There is however considerable interest in EFTA as an option for Brexit at the end of the transition period. For instance we came across a recent article in Times of Malta (22 October …
