Dorset for Europe is a group of local people who passionately believe that the UK belongs in the EU.

Leave or Remain, nobody voted for the mess we’re in. The pound is down. Prices are up. Companies are leaving the UK. Democracy is under threat. It is now abundantly clear that the government cannot deliver on its promises and that the Brexit we’ve got is nothing like that promised in the referendum.

Dorset for Europe is a grassroots organisation, founded in 2016 to campaign for the UK to remain in the EU. In line with the new political reality since December 2019, the group has agreed to focus on four major issues of continuing concern.

Issues of concern:

Maintaining strong links with
the EU

Brexit watch: holding the government
to account

Addressing the democratic deficit

EU citizens’ rights

Join us and together we can hold our ‘elected’ politicians to account, focus on healing the divisions in the country and address the problems in our society that led to Brexit.

We are proud to support West Country Voices (formerly West Country Bylines), a digital online newspaper for our region, covering Cornwall, Devon, Dorset and Somerset.

We at Dorset for Europe are working in collaboration with other regional groups so that WCV reflects the voices of ordinary West Country men and women, people from all walks of life who may have lost faith in much of our mainstream media as a way of representing their views.

You can access WCV on Facebook, Twitter (@WCountryVoices) or directly on the West Country Voices website.
