Vote Leave is the official 'leave' cross-party campaign group seeking withdrawal from the European Union in the United Kingdom's referendum scheduled for 23 June 2016.
The campaign counts six members of the Conservative political cabinet in its senior ranks, and includes justice minister Michael Gove.
Being designated as the official leave campaign over Nigel Farage's Grassroots Out, Vote Leave will have access to up to £7 million it has raised itself, as well as £600,000 of taxpayer money to make it's case for leaving the European Union. [1]
