Until August 2005, Britain in Europe was the main British pro-European pressure group . Despite connections to Labour and the Liberal Democrats , it was a cross-party organisation with supporters from many different political backgrounds. Initially founded to campaign for a “Yes” vote for the euro , it then progressed to support a “Yes” vote for the referendum on the Treaty establishing a Constitution for Europe .
The organisation was launched in 1999 by Tony Blair , Gordon Brown , Kenneth Clarke , Michael Heseltine and Charles Kennedy . In 2003, the organisation formally linked itself with the Brussels -based, pro-European, international organisation European Movement .
The director of Britain in Europe was Simon Buckby and later Lucy Powell . The director of communications was the Scottish Liberal Democrat politician Danny Alexander .
On 17 August 2005, the group was wound up following the French and Dutch "No" votes on the proposed European Constitution . Its resources were turned over to the European Movement.
A successor pro-EU campaign, founded in 2012, is British Influence .
