The CIB has established a position on the Web because we seek to use every medium available to promote the message that if the United Kingdom wishes to remain a self-governing democracy it must withdraw from the European Union. The open, unregulated world of the Net is the latest means by which this message of freedom can be promulgated.

The outstanding role played in the midst of the storm of the Second World War is owed not only to Britain's profound national qualities but also to the the value of your institutions...With self-assurance. almost without being aware of it, you operate in freedom a secure, stable political system. So strong are your traditions and loyalities in the political field that your government is quite naturally endowed with cohesion and permanence; that your parliament has, throughout each term of office, an assured majority; that this government and this majority are permanently in harmony; in short that your executive and legislative powers are balanced and work together...Thus, lacking meticulously worked-out constitutional texts, but by virtue of unchallengeable general consent, you find the means, on each occasion, to ensure the effective functioning of democracy...
