THE REJOIN CAMPAIGN
A CAMPAIGN TO
REJOIN THE SINGLE MARKET
& THE CUSTOMS UNION
RESTORE FREE MOVEMENT
REJOIN THE EUROPEAN UNION
This is a campaign to give a voice to people who believe that it would be in Britain's best interests to be a member of the European Union; who believe that the threats to our peace, security and prosperity that we now face, make the need to rejoin both necessary and urgent.
WE NEED EUROPE - EUROPE NEEDS US
Brexit is greatest act of self-harm in our history. It's an act of economic vandalism. It's destroying our country, destroying livelihoods and destroying our future. It's a catastrophe for Britain.
Our country has been diminished and marginalised by Brexit, its reputation destroyed and its people betrayed, It's been a project driven by lies, disinformation and dishonesty.
Once the Tories had been driven from office, the hope was that a new Labour government would listen to the majority - who want to rejoin the EU - and that it would begin the process of rejoining the European Union by rejoining the Single Market and the Customs Union. The government has made it clear that this is not going to happen.
The Prime Minister has said that "we will not rejoin the European Union in his lifetime", refusing to even contemplate rejoining the Single Market and the Customs Union. This flies in the face of common sense. It is against the will of the majority and against the best interests of the country.
Our fight to rejoin the EU continues.
The country needs Brexit undone!
Brexit, the grand delusion that spawned our self-destruction is dead. There are some, including the government, who still doggedly refuse to admit it even when the stench of its rotting corpse has become overpowering.
The Brexit bubble burst when fantasy politics collided with reality. Brexit broke the link between governance and reason. Politicians living in a fantasy world convinced themselves, and a gullible electorate worn down by austerity, that you could throw away all ties with our biggest trading partner, and get richer. It was a fantasy, it was a lie, it was a con.
There were never, and there will never be, any advantages to Brexit, only disadvantages. There never were any opportunities, and there never will be. Trade with the EU has fallen off a cliff. The City, our golden egg, has haemorrhaged assets and jobs. Britain, the country and its people, are poorer because of Brexit. Thousands of businesses have gone bust and livelihoods destroyed - all because of Brexit. Brexit, it's not a disaster, it's a catastrophe. It cannot be allowed to continue, it MUST be undone.
The government must listen to the majority
Well over 60% of the population want to rejoin. This figure rises to 88% when it comes to the under 30s. It really isn't for politicians or political parties to go against what the majority want. Nor should they deny the people a say on such an important issue, an issue which is having a hugely negative impact on everybody's lives, and will for many years to come unless Brexit is reversed.
For five years, the Rejoin Campaign has been advocating a three stage approach to rejoining the European Union. To rejoin the Single Market and Customs Union to include restoring free movement, to undergo fundamental reform and create a roadmap for rejoining the EU, and then to rejoin the EU. We consider this is the best way forward, and the one we believe the government should adopt. So far the government has refused to even contemplate rejoining the Single Market, far less the EU. It refuses to give any explanation for its position, which is unacceptable.
We had hoped that a new Labour government would be our salvation, but it's turning out to be our next problem. To deliberately go against the wishes of the majority and the best interests of the country, particularly as we face real and immediate threats to our peace, security and future prosperity, is totally unacceptable.

A WORLD IN CRISIS
European unity has never been more important
The European Union is the most successful trading bloc in world history, but it's more than that. It has united European nations in common cause to work for peace, security and prosperity.
Putin's invasion of Ukraine demonstrated the EU's resolve and determination to galvanise its members into positive action to protect its interests and to support Ukraine. Importantly, it demonstrated the importance of unity. We've played our part, but when the peace, security and future prosperity of Europe is at stake, it's vital we unite with Europe in every way possible against the threat posed by Putin and Trump's America.
Brexit has divided us from our European friends and divided our nation - and weakened Europe. This is a time for unity, not division. The case for rejoining has never been stronger. It's imperative we get Brexit undone.
We're in a mess!
There has been no meaningful reform of our institutions since the end of WW2. One of the first reforms must be to change the outmoded and undemocratic first past the post system. In the recent election it delivered a Labour government with majority of 174 with only 34.7% of the popular vote. Even taking into account that people voted tactically to remove a deeply unpopular Tory government, the majority of people, as in the previous election, did not vote for the government. This makes a mockery of our so-called democracy.
We will campaign for the introduction of Proportional Representation.
Today, our politics is both dysfunctional and corrupt because of the way it is funded. The interests of the electorate have become secondary to interests of wealthy donors and corporations. It's important that we adopt the recommendations of the Kelly Report on political party funding and take money out of politics.
We will campaign to TAKE MONEY OUT OF POLITICS.
Brexit was engineered and funded by those who want to undermine European unity and destabilise the EU, and those who want to profit from chaos and disruption this would cause. They have been assisted by a zealous Brexit cult whose selfish and questionable interests have all but destroyed Britain. We must undo the chaos they have caused and the damage they have done. We must hold this government's feet to the fire to ensure it happens.
Brexit has marginalised us, isolated us and diminished us. We have to change this. It's now time to rediscover the hopes and benefits of a connected world. We are a part of the European community of nations, which we should support through membership of the European Union. United we are strong. Divided, the peace, security and prosperity of all European nations, including our own, is at risk. It's at serious risk right now, which is why the process of rejoining should start without delay. We need Europe. Europe needs us.
