The movement is gathering pace among socialist supporters who are hoping to convince working class voters in Britain a back leaving Europe as the only way to fight the establishment. The group want nothing to do with the Brexit campaign, often associated with Nigel Farage, is instead looking for an exit from the left-coining the term 'Lexit'. Despite My Corbyn supporting remaining in the Union - many say the EU goes against all beliefs of a true Labour voter. The comments were made at a Lexit rally in London, last night, during which left-wing voters were urged to support a campaign to leave the EU - without backing Brexit. A panel of speakers urged so-called Lexit supporters gathered at the event to use June 23 to begin a fight against the establishment by bringing down the European Union. Lindsey German, from socialist group Counterfire said there were millions working class people and labour voters who will vote out.

She said: "The deal they (EU) made with Turkey is a complete breach of any international law since the Second World War and it is a shame to humanity. "The only way we can move forward is by fighting back. "Let's just remember one thing - Jeremy Corbyn is now the leader of the Labour Party. “I’m sorry Labour is taking the position that it is because I think millions of people - Labour voters- are going to vote no." Ms German urged left-wing voters not to worry about being seen as “right wing and racist” by voting out. She said a vote to leave is “not about supporting UKIP” but is important to stop “fortress Europe” from continuing to enforce policies which are based on “austerity and cuts”. She added: "There is a narrative that if you are left wing, if you are in support of women's rights, if you are anti-racist, if you support workers' rights you have to be in favour of remain. "We have to have a left voice to say we can vote to leave but can do so from the left. "It's not all about turning your back on your people. It's about uniting over the things that matter.” Ms German's argument against the EU included the border closing blunders which have seen refugees beaten, turned around and forced to take drastic measures which in thousands of cases has cost them their lives.

She also argued the EU has not given any workers' rights which unions would not have achieved without them. And she said Brussels has completely failed to introduce sanctions against racist regimes in eastern Europe. She added: "I am in favour of free movement. I am in favour of free movement for everybody. “But actually what this fortress Europe is doing is actually fuelling a growth of the far right and a growth of racism." Alex Callinicos, professor of EU studies and Socialist Worker's Party member also encouraged left wing voters to vote out. He said: "The EU is one of the most important projects of western imperialism since the Second World War. "People on the left are defending the EU which set out to pauperise Greece, Ireland and is responsible for the drowning of refugees in the Mediterranean. "We have to name the EU as the imperialist monster that it is." Mr Callinicos also argued a vote against remaining in Europe is a vote “against the ruling classes”, telling the audience they cannot underestimate the damage a Lexit or Brexit would do to the Tory Governement. He said: "Tories are ripping themselves apart. "If a leave campaign is successful this will tear apart a Tory government. It will take out two key figures - Cameron and Osbourne. It will be the most vicious faction fight.”
