To: Boris Johnson

Sign now! A new PUBLIC HOLIDAY to celebrate UK Independence Day.

We want a promise that if the UK votes to leave the European Union on June 23rd, then we will get a new PUBLIC HOLIDAY to celebrate Independence Day, in the same way that 183 other countries around the world have independence and national days when they got their freedom and sovereignty back from foreign powers.

Why is this important?

Countries as different as the United States, Uganda, Norway and Nicaragua have Independence days and National days. It's not nationalistic, it's just very normal to be a free and democratic country.

How it will be delivered

The signatures will be delivered in person.

Why does Sovereignty matter? Watch this 6 minute video , or if you only have two minutes, just spin forward to the 4 minute mark on this TRULY INCREDIBLE speech by Daniel Hannan, who has been 'inside' the EU for many years and knows precisely how dysfunctional it is: https://youtu.be/Lp6FZ-V8w_8

Whether you're a lefty or a righty, one thing hopefully that unites us all is a solid belief in democracy and the principle that our elected representatives really do represent us and not big business, big banks or billionaires with other agendas.

A huge amount of power has been given away by our government to unelected bureaucrats in Brussels. We are no longer an independent, Sovereign country and a strong voice on the left of politics made this point clearly in a stunning speech, which made many people across the political spectrum think twice, listen to this!
