		Another MP declares support for leaving the EU Monday, 8th October 2007 Peter Bone, Conservative MP for Wellingborough, has become the latest Member of Parliament to declare his support for Better Off Out, the cross-party campaign for British independence from the EU. Mr Bone, an experienced businessman who has been in Parliament since 2005, joins MPs, Peers and MEPs from across the political spectrum - including Conservatives, Labour, DUP and UKIP - in campaigning for Britain to become self governing. Peter Bone MP said: "Whether it's the one hundred billion pounds that British tax payers have paid the EU since Labour came to power, the flood of hundreds of thousands of legal EU migrants into our country or the loss of British sovereignty, we will be better off out of this bureaucratic, unaccountable and corrupt dictatorship they call the European Union." Roger Helmer MEP, East Midlands MEP, Better Off Out supporter and Hon. Chairman of The Freedom Association which runs Better Off Out, welcomed Peter saying: "Peter Bone is an excellent MP and a good friend of mine. I am delighted he has reached the same conclusion as me - that after 35 years of seeking to reform the EU, 35 years of inexorable integration and political union, 35 years of powers passed to Brussels, the time has come to recognise that the EU is beyond reform, and that in Britain's interests we should be Better Off Out.
