The official Brexit campaign has put a pro-democracy argument at the front and centre of its campaign, with just over a fortnight to go before the EU referendum on 23 June. Boris Johnson, one of the main spokesmen for the Vote Leave group, warned that a Remain vote result would result in the UK bartering away its freedom and democracy to Brussels in a bid to secure economic gains via membership of the 28-nation-bloc.
"It is a myth and a delusion to think that we can somehow gain greater prosperity by bartering away our freedom and our democracy. In fact, we can see at every stage how the loss of democratic control is turning into an economic disaster," the top Conservative claimed on 6 June."There is nowhere else that is engaged in anything like this experiment, of trying to fuse countries into a giant political entity; and in its centralising tendencies the European project is going against the tide of events and history.
"The risks of remaining in this over-centralising, over-regulating job-destroying machine are becoming more and more obvious, which is why I believe we are winning the arguments today.
"It is time to take back control, and speak for freedom in Britain and around the whole of the EU."
Johnson made the pro-Leave address alongside Justice Secretary Michael Gove, German-born Labour MP Gisela Stuart and John Longworth, the former director-general of the British Chamber of Commerce. The Vote Leave campaigners spoke at a shampoo factory in the West Midlands market town of Stratford-upon-Avon.
