It was first founded in 2009 when it campaigned under the campaign slogan ''No2EU — Yes to Democracy''; it was led by Bob Crow and backed by the National Union of Rail, Maritime and Transport Workers (RMT), the Communist Party of Britain and Solidarity (Scotland) among others. It participated in the 2009 European Parliament elections and the European elections in 2014 with the party name "No2EU"〔 and the campaign slogan ''No2EU — Yes to Workers' Rights''. ==Summary of main policies== No2EU's declared position is for a Europe of "democratic states that value public services and does not offer them to profiteers; a Europe that guarantees the rights of workers and does not put the interests of big business above that of ordinary people". This, it contested, is impossible within the current European Union structure and it calls for a withdrawal from the EU. In keeping with its socialist position it campaigns for public ownership of some national industries and investment in public services. It is hostile to fascist politics,〔 acting as an 'internationalist alternative' to the perceived xenophobic positions of existing far-right eurosceptic parties. Tensions arising from the free movement of labour are explained as an economic issue, for example Bob Crow has stated that he is against "two workers from different countries competing against each other on different rates of pay". ==History== No2EU – Yes to Democracy was initiated by the to contest the June 2009 European Parliament elections. In addition to the , the coalition included: * Alliance for Green Socialism * Communist Party of Britain * Indian Workers' Association * Liberal Party * Socialist Party * Socialist Resistance * Solidarity This was notable as the first instance in recent history of a British trade union officially putting its support behind a national electoral presence other than the Labour Party,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Socialist Party on No2EU )〕 though the RMT had set some precedent in Scotland when it backed the Scottish Socialist Party. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「No2EU」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
