Britons eager to find out more about the pros and cons of European Union membership will have a wealth of options this weekend, with campaigners for a "Leave" vote in next month's referendum pledging a publicity "blitz" and their opponents promising "the biggest day of cross-party campaigning in UK political history."
Prime Minister David Cameron, opposition Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn, Liberal Democrat chief Tim Farron and the Green Party's only lawmaker, Caroline Lucas, will all be out campaigning on Saturday, Britain Stronger in Europe said in an e-mailed statement. Grassroots Out, one of the groups campaigning for a "Brexit", said it's organising street stalls and leaflet drops nationwide.
"This is a day unlike any other: politicians of every stripe taking to the streets with the same message," Cameron said in a statement. "This is bigger than party politics. Its effects will last longer than our lifetimes. So we are saying with one voice: make sure Britain is stronger, safer and better off, and vote to remain in a reformed European Union."
