Communist Party General Secretary Rob Griffiths on Leaving the EU

"Today we begin the process of finally leaving the European Union. This achievement, which required many struggles, must not be underestimated. It certainly won't be in the City and ruling circles of the EU.


"The vote of 2016, demonstrated the desire of people for more democracy, self- government and an end to austerity. The result came as a shock to the ruling class in Britain and its allies abroad.

"This year is an opportunity to fight for a Brexit that delivers legislation and policies that serve the people's interests, not the City and big business.

"There is much to play for. This is not a strong government. It can be stopped. The communists will play the leading role expected of them, in the struggle to come. We urge supporters to consider applying for membership to our growing party.
Britain leaving the EU sends a message of hope to beleaguered peoples on the continent who share our opposition to the Bosses' Club and yearn for more democracy, rather than ECJ, ECB and Commission diktat.

"The Communists will campaign for greater cooperation across all of Europe and beyond, for medical and scientific cooperation and coordinated measures to deal with the climate change crisis. This weekend, we reject the doom and gloom brigade and as a sign of our confidence in the future, announce a new edition of the CP programme 'Britain's Road to Socialism', will be released on 15 March to coincide with the commemoration of Marx at Highgate cemetery."
