"Other parties are afraid to mention Brexit. We need to end that fear. Our primary aim in this by-election was to highlight the disastrous effect of Brexit on our country, both financially and through our diminished role in world affairs. Isolationism isn't patriotism. It's past time that we reassessed Brexit and its consequences."
"This is a massive drag on our growth, a burden on everyone with a mortgage or who aspires to get on the housing ladder. It means rents are higher, wages lower and we're using tax revenue to pay interest to lenders rather than funding schools, hospitals and more."
During the Gorton & Denton by-election, voters expressed concerns about cost of living, wealth inequality, housing, and anti-social behaviour. The Rejoin EU Party contends that these issues cannot be resolved without addressing Brexit. Party candidate Joseph O'Meachair noted he was the only candidate to mention Brexit at campaign hustings. Deputy leader John Stevens highlighted that Britain pays higher interest rates on international borrowing than European trading partners due to Brexit, creating a drag on economic growth that increases mortgage costs, reduces wages, and diverts tax revenue from public services. The party argues that other political parties avoid discussing Brexit despite its significant economic consequences.
