Nigel Farage describes himself as "shy and non-controversial" compared to Donald Trump, who he calls "the single most resilient and bravest person I have ever met in my life".

As we have now seen on both sides of the Atlantic, there are no lengths to which  populist, right-wing extremists are not prepared to go, in order to try to secure what they want for themselves and their supporters.

That's why we urge you to join New Europeans today and support an organisation that is working for democracy, human rights, and the rule of law in Britain and in Europe.

Join New Europeans today

The #DeniedMyVote scandal of 2019 should be seen in the context of ever more brazen attacks on the integrity of the democratic process.

We are more than familiar with such developments now on both sides of the Atlantic, not least in the scenes we saw in Washington last week.

Let's also remember that in 2017, Nigel Farage said this:

"If they don't deliver this Brexit, then I will be forced to don khaki, pick up a rifle and head for the front lines."

Nigel Farage cannot bring down British democracy with a rifle anymore than the Qanon Shaman can stop Biden's confirmation with a pitchfork.

But there are many other ways to undermine democracy.

In 2019, his Brexit Party "won" the European elections in the UK - but 1.7 million EU citizens and Britons abroad were denied their vote. 

This happened, because the Government - at a time when it was under huge pressure at the ballot box from the Brexit Party and also from Brexiters within in its own ranks -  failed to make timely provision to ensure all who had the right to vote were able to do so. 

We need to understand how and why that happened.

Later in the same year, the Government's decision to shut down parliament had to be over-turned in the Supreme Court.

There is a pattern here, an attitude, a mindset, a behaviour, which is profoundly undemocratic and dangerous. It begins with the suppression of votes. It can end with desperate and violent attempts to shut down democracy as we saw in Washington last week.

Our campaign is focussed on the call for a public inquiry into the #DeniedMyVote scandal of 2019. 

We must protect the integrity of the democratic process. No stone should be left unturned.

Chip in £5, £10 or £25 to our campaign appeal if you can

Later this month, the government will also be challenged in court  over #DeniedMyVote. We will keep you posted of the outcome.

In the meantime, please continue to share this petition and support this campaign.

Thank you  - we are counting on your support.
