British Influence
British Influence is an independent, cross-party pro-EU pressure group based in the United Kingdom. The group was founded in 2012 to make the case for the European Union amid increasing calls for British withdrawal from the EU. Its co-presidents are Danny Alexander (Liberal), Kenneth Clarke (Conservative) and Peter Mandelson (Labour).
Activities
The British Influence Group seeks to put forward the case for Britain's continued membership of the European Union.[1]
It currently runs the "Our Biggest Market" campaign [2] of small business leaders who want Britain to remain the European Union.
It publishes a daily Europewatch email of news and views on Britain's relationship with the EU. The group runs the "Future of Europe Forum" of leading British MPs, Peers, businessmen and former diplomats to push the UK's EU reform agenda.
In 2013 the group published a manifesto, written by MPs, Peers, former diplomats and businessmen, entitled "Better Off in a Better Europe".[3]
