BREXIT TO HIT POOREST
THE cost of leaving the EU will fall most heavily on the less well-off and less able members of our society.
Whatever economic ills may fall upon us (we have already lost our high credit rating and those who take even the most modest holidays abroad will find that their money is not going as far as it did before the referendum) the moneyed folk will know which way to go to safeguard their assets, but there is no question as to how to put food on the table for them.
We are fortunate in that we live under the rule of law. We were all able to put our point of view during the referendum.
Surely the Leavers will hope for the Brexit negotiations to be concluded as favourably as possible for the good of our country?
The recent High Court decision highlights the constitutional position of Parliament and its position as the final arbiter.
Of course, Mrs May and her assistants will not be expected to disclose every detail of their negotiations ● while these are taking place but her general policy should be made clear and the final decision as to whether or not we should leave the EU should be subject to parliamentary approval.
Even the keenest of Leavers might wish to have a second thought if the terms are less favourable than hoped for and it is at this point that our elected representatives in Parliament should have the last word.
