Description
An A4 leaflet made by Green Leaves, a branch of the Green Party that campaigned for the UK to leave the EU during the 2016 referendum. The Green Party's official stance was to campaign for a remain vote, but a faction of the party disagreed, arguing that the EU is 'beyond reform' and that membership to the EU prevented us from creating a sustainable society.
This poster features a photograph of Tony Benn, a deceased Labour MP. Above the photograph white and green text reads "I'm with Tony." A quote from Tony Benn claiming the EU has 'no democratic base' is printed at the bottom of the page, highlighted in green. The back of the leaflet has a longer version of the quote and more information about Tony Benn, in green text on a white background. Large text at the bottom reads "If you agree with us tell your MP!" Contact information for Green Leaves can be found at the bottom of the page.
