We believe in a flexible union of free member states who share treaties and institutions and pursue together the ideal of co-operation. To represent and promote the values of European civilisation in the world. To advance our shared interests by using our collective power to open markets. And to build a strong economic base across the whole of Europe.

It [European Union] has kept the peace in Europe. Countries used to fight and now they talk. We should be attached to that.

No treaty should be ratified without consulting the British people in a referendum.

I want to be the voice of change and hope. I want to confront the big challenges this country faces.

It is national parliaments, which are, and will remain, the true source of real democratic legitimacy and accountability in the EU.

We all say in our own lives that money isn't everything. Love matters, friendships matter. My relationship with my kids matters. It shouldn't be a giant leap to take that thought and introduce it into political dialogue

People feel that the EU is heading in a direction that they never signed up to. They resent the interference in our national life by what they see as unnecessary rules and regulation. And they wonder what the point of it all is. Put simply, many ask 'why can't we just have what we voted to join - a common market?'
