Letter in the Croydon Guardian
9th November 2011
Dear Editor,
It was disappointing to learn that not one of Croydon’s three MPs voted in favour of an EU referendum.
The European Union in its current form is deeply undemocratic. A referendum would allow the space to debate the future of the union and the vital role it has to play in promoting democracy, championing human rights and creating jobs based on strong, sustainable economies.
Radical reform of the EU project is long overdue, so while Messars Barwell, Ottaway and Wicks settle for the status quo, a Europe run by unelected and unaccountable bureaucrats can continue its fascination with free trade and competition at the expense of the environment and will of the people.
Yours sincerely,
Ross Hemingway
