I wrote a post based on my article What’s happening to Labour with respect to the EU which was published at labourleftint.uk entitled Burnham and the EU.
The Labour Left Internationalists article includes the following appeal; Another Europe have posted a write to your MP form – find it at www.anothereurope.org/tell-your-mp-full-membership-now/
The proposed letter says:
Last month the new Prime Minister Andy Burnham identified the UK’s relationship to the EU as an issue of vital importance if we are to fix our economy and focus on a progressive path to security and wellbeing for all.
I am writing to you because I strongly believe that only a return to full membership to the EU will deliver the benefits we need.
At this time of growing division and rising threats from authoritarian leaders and plutocrats, the UK must take decisive steps to rejoin the European Union as a full member.
There is no time to waste.
Full membership will grant us democratic and political rights. It will enable us to collaborate with our closest neighbours from a position of trust and shared values.
To tackle the issues of today and build the better society of tomorrow, in “every postcode in the UK” and beyond. It will help strengthen the voices for cooperation, equality and justice.
Full membership is the best way forward. We need a timely route towards it that can bring the country together. Please would you do everything in your power to press the government in this direction.
