‘Future of UK independen­ce is now at stake’

- By Steve Baker TORY PPC FOR WYCOMBE

THIS is the most important election of our lives.

The future of the UK and our independen­ce is at stake.

Next year could see us hold not just one but two more divisive referendum­s.

One on staying in the EU and another on breaking up the Union – if a chaotic Corbyn government is allowed near levers of power.

A grave danger in this election is a split Brexit vote.

The Brexit Party was created to deliver Brexit.

It would be the most tragic irony imaginable if it ended up defeating the very purpose of its existence.

Only the Conservati­ve Party can deliver Brexit in this election.a vote for any other party is effectivel­y a vote for Jeremy Corbyn.

That is because the Brexit Party cannot win a majority.

It might not even be able to win a seat.

But it is capable of splitting the Leave vote so that Jeremy Corbyn gets into power.

The idea that the Brexit Party hurts Labour more than the Conservati­ves is not true.

Election expert Professor

Sir John Curtice said that for every one Labour voter who switches to the Brexit Party, there are two Conservati­ve voters who do so.

This election could see a critical swathe of seats fall to Remainers due to the split vote. In two by-elections this year – in Peterborou­gh and in Brecon and Radnorshir­e – votes for the Brexit Party split the Leave vote, wiping out the chances of Leave candidates.

That allowed Labour and

Lib Dems to slip through the middle and claim the victory.

Now across the country, the so-called Remain Alliance is plotting to limit the choice available to voters by withdrawin­g all but one candidate in favour of cancelling Brexit to give them a better chance of winning.

It is in your power to prevent them producing another hung parliament that can deliver only more stagnation and delay.

Worse still, a split leave vote could allow Corbyn into power with Brexit forever scuppered.

Make no mistake, Corbyn may be in favour of leaving the EU himself, but his fanatical party would never let us leave.

A vote for the Brexit Party could snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

Let’s seize the opportunit­y to get Brexit done.

Let’s protect the Union. It’s now with Boris or it’s never.
