I've recently found out that TTIP is a deal which could force governments to contract out public services, like the NHS. This is something I never want to see happen.
It will elevate multi-national corporations over elected parliaments, something which should never be allowed and will create a free pass for letting vested interests conspire against the public will.
Last but not least, it will allow the democratic decisions of tribunals to be struck down by supra-national courts under something known as Investor-State Dispute Settlement (ISDS).
Leaving the EU, will save our NHS from TTIP.
