In nine days’ time, we have the opportunity to do something amazing. We can usher in a new era of British democracy, prosperity, international trade and co-operation. We have a chance to vote for our very own independence day. I am really excited about the opportunity because I believe in Britain.
We’re a nation of 64 million incredible people, each one of us has our own individual skills, talents and together we have a vast collective wealth of creativity, resilience, generosity, strength, optimism and ambition. We are Great Britain, the world’s fifth largest economy, the fourth greatest global exporter, the seventh largest manufacturing nation. We are a permanent seat holder on the UN Security Council, a member of the G7, the G20, a founder member of the World Bank and a major player in NATO. Nobody with any sense of pride or patriotism or love of our country could ever call us isolated, insignificant or unable to make our own way in the world.
