Ulster Unionist Party Leader, Mike Nesbitt MLA, has said that those who cherish the United Kingdom should be confident that voting to remain within the EU in a good thing.
Mike Nesbitt MLA said:
“With three days to go to the EU referendum we are very conscious that there are a lot of unionists who are still undecided on how they will vote on Thursday.
“We have a very simple message for them; it’s okay to vote to remain. In fact, if you cherish the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland it is a good thing to vote remain.
“This is something we must remain clear headed about. Northern Ireland will acutely feel the implications of a Brexit; constitutionally, financially and politically. The potential for people from Northern Ireland being met with the same controls as non-UK citizens when entering Great Britain is not something to be brushed off.
“This really is a once in a lifetime decision. One that will have far reaching implications for our generation and those who follow. When faced with a decision like this it is easy to allow your emotions to dominate your decision-making. However, Thursday is a day to use your head and my head says we must remain.
“Unionists should be confident that by voting remain, they not only strengthen our hand in fighting for reform within the European Union, it also strengthens our United Kingdom.”
