Time to Jump : A Positive Vision of an Independent Britain Outside the EU in an EEA Lite Agreement

A populist and controversial book that explains in easy to understand and chatty style what problems face Britain in the UK and how they can be solved.

In this book controversial Member of the European Parliament David Campbell Bannerman puts forward a radical alternative to UK membership of the European Union.

Unlike many dry political tracts, this book takes a lively and engaging look at the awkward position Britain has got itself into.

Drawing on his background in the real world outside of politics - most notably in the railway business - Campbell Bannerman explains in easy to understand terms and with a chatty writing style exactly what the problems are, how they affect the man in the street and what can be done about it. With the help of carefully arranged fact, figures and opinions, Campbell Bannerman argues it is time for Britain to Jump out of the EU and into a position that he has dubbed "EEA Lite".

This is positioned between the EEA Agreement that Norway enjoys and Swiss bilateral arrangements.

He charts how Britain could take the EEA as a basis and lighten it up to suit Britain's unique strengths and needs. He sees the UK will leave the EU single market as 90% of the UK economy has nothing to do with EU trade but is forced to apply its laws.

He also envisions UK exporters accepting EU laws while bringing in Swiss-style tougher visa-based immigration controls for EU nationals.
