A new political group supporting the Brexit movement brings international support to the effort as many hope to fight the “suppression of democracy” and to back free trade with the U.K. 

The World 4 Brexit (W4B) movement was started by former members of Congress and chaired by Peggy Grande, who was an executive assistant to President Ronald Reagan from 1989 to 1999, in hopes of spreading the ideals of free and fair elections, upholding the results of those elections and the essential power of democracy, as well as pushing back against globalism.

“It’s been interesting as an American watching this. I think people are under this assumption that Brexit happened. 2016 the vote came, Brexit won, and we are under this assumption that it happened. When you really start hearing more about it you realize it hasn’t happened at all. When you start thinking about what that actually means, it is a suppression of democracy and all around the world,” Grande told the Daily Caller. 

“The trading opportunities that exist with free Great Britain, right now their trading agreements are all run through the EU and so America and the rest of the world is looking for free and bilateral trade with the U.K outside of the chains of European Union. Right now we’ve seen the tariffs put on everything from cocoa to oranges and it’s really suppressing the right of free trade. So we should care about that, as an economic powerhouse, because we want to have fair, free and open trade with the U.K,” Grande said. 

Grande went on to say she sees a natural connection between the U.S and the U.K, with the outcome of Brexit having deep consequences for democracy worldwide.

“17.4 million people in the UK voted to leave the European Union, the foot-stomping, and the stalling of the parliament and the extensions have completely ported the will of the people and that’s wrong and people need to stand up for it and give voice and support to our friends across the pond,” Grande continued.

Grande also mentioned the support she has received from people across the world, saying that the group has several events planned internationally and throughout the U.S., adding, “Brexit does matter and that it is important to them,” she said.

Brexit Party leader Nigel Farage attended events in Washington D.C. and New York City on behalf of the group, telling attendees about his fight for the U.K. to leave the EU and how the World 4 Brexit group could help not just the U.S. and the U.K, but help the entire world.

“I was given the idea by some campaigners who were going to set up a group called World For Brexit, I thought that’s interesting, what’s it about? The fact is, we are able in U.K. law, to have organizations that campaign for ideas, not for parties or candidates, but for ideas. George Soros piles money into the second referendum campaign, to every negative anti-Brexit campaign. And here I saw some guys with an idea, and let’s have a positive model to say ‘there’s a big world outside the European Union, with America, Ghana, Australia, you name it, come on in, the water’s lovely,” Farage told the Daily Caller.

“Why can a Florida, or any producer growing good, organic oranges not sell his products to the U.K? Because the EU stops it. Why does somebody, an impoverished Ghanian cocoa producer find him or herself in a situation where if they were to fabricate that product, they get 60% tariffs? I mean, why are we giving aid to Ghana, when we could actually be giving trade to Ghana? It would benefit all of us … This is all positive. Brexit is a positive experience, this organization has spread around the world, I’m happy to be here,” Farage continued. 

Mississippi Republican Gov. Phil Bryant, who attended a World 4 Brexit event in New York City told the Daily Caller that he believes the group will help his state by pushing for the possible new trade opportunities which would come into place if Brexit occurred.

“For centuries, our two great nations have been built around shared language, institutions, challenges, aspirations, and values. As Governor of Mississippi and Chairman of the Royal Commonwealth Society of the United States, I am committed to upholding this special relationship. I continue to stand with my dear friend Nigel Farage in the fight for Brexit,” Bryant said.

“As Governor, I have the privilege of seeking new trade opportunities for my state, and I believe that a post-Brexit world will further open the door for mutually beneficial US-UK bilateral trade opportunities,” Bryant continued.

The organization hopes to continue pushing for Brexit as Brexiteer Boris Johnson secured his position as the United Kingdom’s next prime minister Tuesday.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
