Sharon Ellul-Bonici

Sharon Ellul-Bonici is a Maltese Eurosceptic politician.

Sharon Ellul-Bonici has been a member of the soft eurosceptic Maltese Labour Party. She tried to obtain her party's endorsement as a candidate for the 2004 European Parliament election, but was turned down for her hard eurosceptic links. Ellul-Bonici was at the time active in pan-European organisations such as No2EU and TEAM. The party's vigilance board feared that – once elected – she could join Europe of Democracies and Diversities rather than the PES group.[1]

For the 2009 EU election she was fielded on the Labour Party list,[2] but not elected to the European Parliament.

She has been the founding secretary-general of the European Alliance for Freedom, a eurosceptic pan-European party, established in late 2010, and led by former UKIP europarlamentarian Godfrey Bloom.[3]

Sharon is married to Kevin Ellul Bonici.[4]
