We must get it done and move on
As MPs put the brakes on the Prime Minister’s drive for a deal, shoppers at the Italian Centre in Glasgow’s Merchant City said enough was enough.
Jen McAdam, 30, a lecturer from Lenzie, said: “I was against Brexit but we have made our bed and now we have to lie in it.
“I think most people are frustrated by the whole process. It needs to be concluded so we can move on.”
Fiona Shepherd, 50, an early years practitioner, of Galashiels, and husband Graeme, 50, a police officer, both felt frustration at the lack of a conclusion.
Fiona said: “I did not want Brexit but it was a fair vote. It has taken so long and I think a lot of people have lost faith in politics as a result.
“I don’t think there should be a vote and then politicians just push for the decision they want.”
Mark Evison, 58, a chef of Partick, Glasgow, said: “I think many people voted for Brexit without really knowing what it was.
“I think there should be another vote, a people’s vote, as I think removing ourselves from Europe would be a big mistake. I think a second vote would put things to bed.”
Donald Macdonald,
68, a retired computer programmer of Stornoway, said: “I approve of Brexit and my feeling now is that we need to get it done.
“Some say we didn’t know what we were voting for but I thought it was a no-deal Brexit.
“Let’s bring negotiations to a head.”
Maddy Miller, 43, a tour guide from Glasgow’s West End, said: “Things need to be concluded one way or another.
“With every date that passes it undermines what people voted for and it undermines democracy.”
