Libertas, the movement that led the successful campaign against the Lisbon Treaty in Ireland, is to run candidates in the UK for the European Elections. The party will also contest elections in countries across Europe to get the voters' mandate to bring more democracy, accountability and transparency to European Union governance.

Announcing the UK campaign today, party chairman Declan Ganley said "Almost 80% of laws that change the daily lives of Britons come from Brussels, and those laws are drafted by unelected, unaccountable civil servants. Brussels does not want to answer to the people of Europe. We want to bring the EU back to its people."

Heading the campaign in the UK is Robin Matthews, a former British Soldier. Speaking at the launch, Robin Matthews said "By building a pan European bloc of seats in the European Parliament, Libertas offers the only real opportunity for people across the UK to get a better deal from Europe. National parties are powerless - the biggest UK party in the European Parliament has less than 4% of the seats and represents only one country out of 27".
