Thought we voted to have nowt to do with Europe
This election should have never happen
If the MPs at Westminster carried out
The democratic will of the people who
Voted in the biggest democratic vote
In the history of great Britain to leave the EU on 29 March 2019, do you remember David Cameron saying that parliament would fully carry out the outcome of the referendum.the only
Way our democratic wishes will be carried is by voting for the brexit
Party all the over parties labour, lib Dems, greens ,change UK do not respect
The democratic vote of the British
People. VOTE BREXIT PARTY and respect
The 17.4 million people who voted to leave the EU not half in or half out
as Mays withdrawal agreement will leave us.
The last three years have shown how difficult it is to extricate ourselves from the EU. We aRe now in a far better position to understand this compared to 2016. May’s deal satisfies neither Brexit supporters or Remain supporters. A so- called Soft Brexit will leave us worse off than our current membership of the EU. No Deal will leave us with a huge economic hit that will take years to recover from, if at all.
This is why the country needs to have a confirmatory vote. In my view this should probably be No Deal vs. Remain. This is not anti-democratic. Democracy is not a one-off event. If the country still want Brexit, then so be it. But to think we will be a safer, more influential and more prosperous country outside the EU is a delusion.
