The Truth

You know what concerns me... this ridiculous version of patriotism gone mad.

The referendum wasn’t a Labour v Conservative issue. The votes did not split down party lines. Some strong Labour areas voted to remain and some strong Labour areas voted to leave and since the vote, the Labour party leadership has remained quiet on the matter, leaving the Conservatives to argue it out between them.

Since the vote to leave, the press have completely abdicated responsibility for keeping people informed and the Labour party declines to put any weight behind Leave or Remain. All we’ve been left with is the leave campaigners jumping off the boat taking their promises of more sovereignty with them.

I made my decision but whilst I want them to push Brexit, I’m not daft enough to believe the will of 17 million leave voters are representatives of our 65 million population. It dismays me that our Parliament have become so disempowered with this ‘cast in stone’ Referendum that they can no longer consider, compromise or amend ore review critical issues.

It doesn’t take much up top to understand we no longer have a representative Parliamentary democracy. We can’t have a ‘will of the people’ without the will of Parliament.
