Cross-party Brexit campaign launched in UK

"Vote Leave" unites three groups opposed or at least dissatisfied with Britain's EU membership - Business for Britain, the Labour Leave campaign and Conservatives for Britain.

"I will vote to leave so that we can end the supremacy of EU law and the British public can take back control," UKIP's sole MP, Douglas Carswell, said in a statement.
"I want to see a campaign which brings together those from all parts of the UK who want to take back control of our countries' laws to the British Parliament," said Labour's Kate Hoey, co-chair of the "Labour Leave" campaign.
"Vote Leave" will compete with rival 'out' campaign "Leave.EU," which launched last month, to unlock funding to become the officially designated lobby group for an UK exit from the EU - also known as a Brexit.
