See how your MP voted on Brexit

DEAR Editor, By passing the Bill to prevent Prime Minister Boris Johnson using the threat of no deal in his negotiations with the European Union, the Labour opposition and a few rebellious Tory MPs have handed Europe the opportunity to either force an unacceptable deal or prevent us from leaving altogether. Just what the remainers want.

At a time when the guardians of our democracy (the Houses of Parliament) should be implementing the decision of the 2016 referendum, as Prime Minister Cameron pledged, they have passed the most damaging law which will, in effect, deny the majority of people their right to have the UK leave the European Union.

When we took part in the 2016 referendum there were no conditions to the question we were asked – leave or remain? There was no specific requirement for voters to name ‘deal or no deal’.

We just accepted that the government would get on with it and get the best deal possible.

Then when Mrs May eventually negotiated a deal we know what happened. Just delay and procrastination, all designed, I believe, to prevent us from leaving the European Union.

Our MPs and Lords should remember that Sovereignty in Parliament comes from the British people. The idea that members of parliament can overrule 17.4 million people is preposterous.

The only way now that supporters of the leave vote can obtain justice is through the Ballot Box. So at the forthcoming General Election I urge all angry leave voters to look carefully as to how their candidates voted on the most recent Bill on September 3 in the House of Commons before casting their votes. The time may now have come when old party loyalties should be sacrificed for the greater good.

All nine Labour MPs representing Birmingham constituencies voted in favour of the restricting bill.

As the West Midlands voted 59.26 per cent Leave in 2016, the highest of any region, I think that readers will be able to see how much our representatives care for the opinions of their constituents. Let justice soon be done!
