Gazette and Herald Thursday 3 October 2019
This week ordinary people, complete strangers came up to me shopping saying how appalled they are at MP’s behaviour, particularly those seeking to block Brexit and we should just get on with it and support Boris.
The sole reason we have a constitutional crisis is MPs who want to stay in the EU are defying ordinary people who three years ago voted by a majority of one and quarter million to leave.
A few weeks ago Labour, Lib Dem and Green MPs passed a law making it illegal for the government to leave the EU unless we accept whatever terms the EU offer us. These include permanently obeying thousands of EU rules after Brexit, but with no vote and no right to ever leave that arrangement unless the EU give us permission. This is why the Prime Minister called it ‘the Surrender Act’.
The Lib-Dems now say they will simply revoke Brexit – not even a second referendum – just stay in the EU.
The Labour Party now say they will hold a second referendum – presumably because people didn’t vote the ‘right’ way in the 2016 referendum. However, now the only options will be 1. remain in the EU – or 2. accept the EU’s terms – as leaving without a deal has been made illegal. Not content with that, this week Labour announced they will give 3 million EU citizens the right to vote in that referendum. Not since the Roman Emperor Caligula made his horse a senator has there been such a blatant attempt at rigging a ballot. To add insult to injury Labour and Lib Dem MPs continue to vote against holding a general election. What are they afraid of?
