We’ve covered the campaigns with intense interest, bringing in voices from across the political spectrum to explain what they think is best for the nation.
Our belief that Brexit is the way forward is pretty unambiguous – though we have given space to the occasional Remain argument. Here’s the best of what Heat Street has had to offer:

Jacob Rees-Mogg MP (Conservative): EU Has Failed. Choose Freedom
“Is your country Europe, and are you European? Or is your country the United Kingdom and are you British?“
Steven Woolfe MEP (UKIP):
Remain is No Status Quo
“When we reach that T-Junction on 23rd June, if we turn left, we are voting to sign away more powers to Brussels and voting to be apart of a United States of Europe. If we turn right, we are voting for a free, independent Britain.“

Suzanne Evans (UKIP): The Patriotic Case for Brexit
“The patriotic vote is a vote to leave the European Union. It’s saying to the EU: we wish you very best; we’ll continue to be your trading partners and military allies, but we’re a proud and patriotic people. From now on, we’ll govern ourselves.“
