In this referendum we are not voting for something as transient as a parliament, for a short five year period. We are not voting for who governs us for a limited time or in an election where short term gains and losses are at stake, we are voting on whether in the future there will even be a Britain at all. In other elections there have been polls where the turnout is low but for this one we can’t afford apathy, there’s far too much at stake.

If people have even the vaguest interest or concern about how the nation is run, then they need to get off of their arses and vote to leave the EU. This is not the time to be a stay at home non-voter. Every vote to leave the EU and be a free independent nation again is needed and really does count.

If you stay at home and don’t vote, or submit to the blandishments, propaganda and dishonesty of the Remain campaign, then your choice doesn’t only affect you in this generation, but will resonate down the generations. If we remain in the EU then any future vote by you, your children or your grandchildren for Parliament will be utterly meaningless. Because in the EU, if we remain, everything important will be decided behind closed doors in Brussels or Berlin, with no input or even ability to object from you or me. The House of Commons will, if we remain, become a pointless talking shop with no power and no ability to change things or halt whatever policy Brussels or Berlin decides to impose on us.

If you decide to stay at home or believe the scaremongering, downright dishonesty and misinformation of the Remain campaign, then you are condemning your children and grandchildren to servitude. Your descendants will never be able to vote out a bad government, because it will not be based in Westminster, but in Brussels. They will never be able to influence events or even make an effective complaint or hold politicians to account, because the EU ignores the complaints of the ordinary citizen and is absolutely and completely unaccountable.

Every vote to leave the EU really does count in this contest. Please, get out and vote out. If you do, merely by putting a cross in the ‘Leave’ box, you can be a hero for your country and to your offspring. At this time we in the UK are incredibly lucky, all we have to do to secure our freedom is to get off of our backsides, go to the polling station and put a cross in a box. Previous generations had to pick up a gun or get on a ship or into an aircraft and risk life and limb in order to keep tyrants from these shores. You don’t have to do that, you just have to do what these previous generations fought and died for you to be able to do, which is use your vote to secure freedom for you and your descendants.

Do not hold your manhood or womanhood cheap by staying at home or believing the words of a Remain camp that has disgracefully even exploited the murder of an MP for their own ends, and has behaved throughout the campaign with very little honour. Without doubt there are a great deal of changes that need to be made to the UK to make it a better place for its citizens, but only we the British citizen can make the choices that best suit us. I don’t want my child’s future decided in Berlin or Brussels, I want him to be able to decide for himself his future, and I want him to be represented by politicians that he has helped to choose. Neither of these outcomes are possible if the UK remains in the EU.

Let’s make Britain really great again, embrace the world not shackle ourselves to a dying, increasingly corrupt EU that is heading for fiscal and moral bankruptcy.

Remember, get out and vote out, you’ll never get another chance again to make such a huge difference.
