Libertas not UKIP on 4th June

Libertas offers the best hope for changing the trading arrangements, political secrecy and the undemocratic nature of the European Union. Libertas stands for ending the corruption, stopping the waste, putting democracy at the heart of Europe and returning control to the member nations. It does NOT want Britain to be consumed by a bureaucratic European superstate. It does want the UK to be a leader in a free, democratic, efficient European Union that only tackles those things that are best done at an international level.

That means NO MORE laws interfering in the domestic UK governance. NO MORE quangos set up to waste money. NO MORE undemocratic decisions taken by "ministers" who only want it their way. The Irish, Dutch and French are the only countries to have had a democratic vote in recent years and they were told that their answers were "un-European".

Libertas wants co-operation only on an international level. This would obviously benefit trade, travel, employment, investment and environmental issues. So it is a positive YES to beneficial international agreement.

You can vote for the goons, gadflies and general expenses grabbers if you want. Only Libertas offers a constructive approach for eurosceptics. In fact, I don't really like that word. I'm positive about wanting a Europe of co-operating nation states, where each can be proud of its culture, its laws, and its lawmaking. I am positive about protecting the UK from the superstate bureaucrats.

Anthony Butcher is standing for Libertas in the North-West. He says, "Why am I standing for Libertas? Libertas is offering a future for Europe never seriously considered before. Until now, the choice has always been 'more or less' Europe. But it doesn't have to be that way. Because Libertas is standing right across the European Union, we could have the power to change the entire direction of the EU. I don't want an EU superstate. I want a Europe of cooperating sovereign nations. Cooperation doesn't work when it is forced upon us top-down by unelected bureaucrats in Brussels. As we have seen, all this achieves is growing resentment and an ever increasing bureaucracy."

That's the kind of MEP I know we need in this country. He also says, "...I later joined the UK Independence Party and was elected to their National Executive Committee. In 2006 I left the party feeling that although I agreed with many of their complaints about the European Union, I couldn't support their negative direction and hostile form of politics, both internal and external." Negative direction. That's it in a nutshell. You only have to look at UKIP's track record to find that it is a kind of "ferrets meets Kilkenny cats party" to put you right off. Expense scandals, mortgage frauds, leadership battles, backbiting and defections. Not a particularly good endorsement for elected representation.

For a positive approach to tackling the wrongs in the European Union vote for your Libertas candidates. Let's make it right for us in Europe.
