Beware the Eurocrats' agenda

Claire Fox asks why is there not greater local government support for Brexit when serious questions over EU sovereignty remain unanswered.

Despite EU referendum weariness and the fact many local government official bodies are remaining neutral or silent on the issue, Key Cities Group chair, councillor Paul Watson, is right when he says the vote in June is significant for councils.

One thing that bemuses me is why – where local government think-tanks and organisations have ‘come-out' – they seem so committed to a ‘remain' position. Why is there not more passion for Brexit in local government circles?
