Katy Clark MP is The Freedom Association’s Parliamentarian of the Week

In standing up for democracy and the threat of multinational corporations telling the British public how we should organise our country, The Freedom Association has decided to make Katy Clark its Parliamentarian of the Week.

The Freedom Association is always delighted to support those parliamentarians who have made a contribution to freedom and liberty, regardless of the political party they are a member of.

Each week either an MP, MEP or Peer is chosen and awarded the accolade of ‘Parliamentarian of the Week’ in recognition of their valuable work.

This week’s winner is Katy Clark MP, Labour Member of Parliament for North Ayrshire and Arran.

During a debate in the House of Commons on the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership, Mrs Clark gave a speech that raised some very important points on how the process is influencing the value of national parliamentary democracy. For The Freedom Association, a highlight of her speech was when she said:

“The British public do not want to be told by multinationals how we should organise our country. We have fought for democracy and we want those bodies for which we have fought and which exist to protect the individual and our communities to have the democratic ability to make decisions.”

On announcing Katy Clark MP as The Freedom Association Parliamentarian of the Week, Andrew Allison, Campaign Manager at the Freedom Association said:

“In a thoughtful debate on the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership, Katy Clark showed that she is on the side of democracy and her constituents.

“The corporate structure of multinational companies is no better than that of big government. Local communities do have the right to make decisions for themselves and that right should not be trampled on.

“Katy Clark was correct to highlight this and I offer her my congratulations as the well deserved recipient of The Freedom Association’s ‘Parliamentarian of the Week’ award.”
