Owning the Future: The Left’s Relationship with Europe
In collaboration with UNISON and TSSA, Open Labour has produced its first-ever pamphlet ‘Owning the Future: The Left’s Relationship with Europe’ which includes a contribution from former Greek finance minister Yanis Varoufakis and Open Labour MPs Alex Sobel and Catherine West.
The pamphlet challenges the Labour Movement to look again at the EU, the Customs Union and Single Market from a Left perspective. It outlines a range of options and perspectives and reinforces the unreality of the Government’s recently published White Paper.
To date, the Labour Party and wider Left have neither undertaken a deep analysis of the options for Britain nor articulated arguments for what Britain’s relationship should look like after 2020. This pamphlet puts forward a number of options from the Remain supporting Left.
