The mainstream debate on the EU referendum is dominated by nationalism, xenophobia and pro-business arguments on both sides. #Lexit: The Left Leave Campaign exists to put forward a different view. We argue that the EU has been a disaster for trade unions, public services and the rights of refugees across the continent. The TTIP trade deal, the work of the Troika in Greece and elsewhere, and the assault on migrants on the borders of Europe show the true nature of the EU.
This rally brought together a range of left figures to argue for a left-wing vote to exit the EU.
