A BBC video has resurfaced reminding people of the time when he split EU citizens into "the worthy" and "low value people".

Democracy is about treating people as equals.

Nobody wants to be treated like a second class citizen.

Iain Duncan Smith's attitude helps understand the systematic disenfranchisement of EU citizens from the European elections in 2019.

IDS's comment rings alarm bells about what can happen next.

EU citizens in the UK will still have the right to vote and stand in local elections post Brexit unless the Government removes that right. We cannot be confident the Government will not do so.

Britons abroad are disenfranchised from General Elections after 15 years. The Government has promised to change that but will it do so?

As we head in 2020, we want to be in the strongest position we can be to fight the battles that lie ahead.

We are counting on your support.

The best way for you to show that is by joining New Europeans today.

With thanks and every good wish for the New Year.

Roger Casale, New Europeans
