Here is the link to our pamphlet:-
On this subject I believe the words of Michael Foot before the 1975 referendum are particularly pertinent, which I was reminded of from this blog post by the blogger Pete North.

Here is what Michael Foot said:-
"People didn't fight for the vote just to have
the fun of electioneering. They wanted to see that the vote that they used at
the ballot box could change things, stop things, alter things, remove
governments when necessary. That's one of the principal reasons for having a
vote. But that's not going to happen if we're going to stay in the Market and
if we become enmeshed in the whole of their machinery and apparatus - because
what will happen then is that you can go and have an election in this country
in which you can vote out the government here - but you won't be voting out all
the governments that meet in Brussels to decide what is going to happen to us.
[...] It is that precious inheritance given us by the people who fought for the
right to vote, fought for the right to form trade unions, fought for the right
to establish their own institution, fought for the right to have an elected
house of commons which should be the supreme authority in this country and
answerable to nobody else. It is those things that are at stake in this
campaign. We will have plenty of problems to solve after June the Fifth, but
let us make it clear that, not merely to our own country, but to the other
countries that we believe here in Britain we can solve these problems by using
the strength of our democratic institutions instead of casting them aside in
this trivial wanton way."
So reform of our democracy and governance starts by leaving the EU and then getting enough people engaged to push for our six demands. If and when the peoples of the UK want to reform our system of governance THA is ready and awaiting with a template for that reform that has yet to be bettered since its conception in 2012.
