@ Neil O'Brien

Is the key motivation behind your campaign a desire to minimise the EU's strangehold over British legislation or simply an effort to give the people a democratic voice, whatever their decision?

Both. I would rather have a referendum and lose it than have no referendum at all. But I want people to be consulted.

More generally I believe in decentralization – power flowing back down from the EU to the local and national level, and an increase in accountability and transparency not just in the EU but also more generally – for example the ever-growing number of quangos.
