Looking to a future free of EU control
PHIL KATZ flags a new initiative to build the case for a people’s Brexit

COMMUNIST PARTY members and supporters are gathering for a key meeting of its Anti EU & Popular Sovereignty Commission in Birmingham on September 28, from across England, Scotland and Wales.

The commission has been meeting regularly for more than a decade. Its role is to advise the party executive and members of developments in the European Union, conduct research into long-term trends and increasingly to mobilise CP and Young Communist League activists for campaigns such as the recent boycott of the sham EU elections.

It was the commission that called and organised an anti-EU week of action early September, during which members and supporters leafleted housing estates and public centres and held street information stalls.
