The Legacy Of Mandela Is To Have

Our Participation In The Single Market, And Our Ability To Help Set Its Rules Is The Principal Reason For Our Membership Of The Eu. So It Is A Vital Interest For Us To Protect The Integrity And Fairness Of The Single Market For All Its Members.

In A Global Race, Can We Really Justify The Huge Number Of Expensive Peripheral European Institutions? Can We Justify A Commission That Gets Ever Larger? Can We Carry On With An Organisation That Has A Multibillion Pound Budget But Not Enough Focus On Controlling Spending And Shutting Down Programmes That Haven't Worked?

Today The Main, Over-riding Purpose Of The European Union Is Different: Not To Win Peace, But To Secure Prosperity.

Nelson Mandela Was A Towering Figure In Our Time; A Legend In Life And Now In Death - A True Global Hero.

Over The Longer Term, The Institutions And Powers Of The Eu Will Continue To Expand And Certain Policymaking Powers, Heretofore Vested In The Member States, Will Be Delegated Or Transferred To, Or Pooled And Shared With Eu Institutions. As A Result, The Sovereignty Of The Member States Will Increasingly Be Eroded.
