UK citizens want co-operation and free commerce with our partners in the European Union, but a majority believes that too much power has been transferred to Brussels; in areas ranging from policing to employment law, from Health and Safety to financial regulation, our citizens want more control over their own lives.

The Fresh Start Project will work with MPs across party lines, along with leading 'think tanks', interest groups, Lords, MEPs and constitutional experts to:

1. Examine the options for a new UK-EU relationship;

2. Set out what this new relationship could look like;

3. Establish a process for achieving change; and

4. Build political support to make it happen.

If you like to contribute, please do so, either to one of the Blogs, or in the Get Involved section.
