Arundel and South Downs

I have constantly been opposed to Britain leaving the EU and despite assurances from many politicians on both sides, nothing has happened yo change this, in fact my opposition has strengthened. Events in the US have proved that the US is an unreliable ally, to say the least, and the threat to the UK from other powers convinces me that we are far better off allied more closely to Europe. So I support anything the current government is doing to repair the current fragile relationship with our closest allies geographically. The economic benefits, particularly for the South East, of rejoining are clear and undeniable. And the more that those on the right of the political spectrum who advocate for leaving the ECHR (which I know is not in itself an EU body) the more horrified I am, particularly for its impact on the disadvantaged. Ironically, those same right wingers blame many ills on immigration - in contrast to what they seem to say, leaving the EU has worked this situation. I hope you will support closer ties with the EU and EEA.

Finally we hear a voice of reason rather than dangerous patriotic nonsense. Time to realise the importance of being a full member of a club that guarantees military protection (unlike Ukraine) no wonder so many countries want to join! Slimy Mr Griffith, ex Johnson’s puppet, who was doing the rounds defending him during the Covid parties scandal should resign after years of incompetence

Economically, it's a no brainer. We were part of a large economic trading group and we walked away. Did the politicians really think it through? I think there was a lot of flag waving and crossed fingers. My hope is that my children and grandchildren will be able to experience what it means to be European.
