Move on and make the best of Brexit

WHAT an interesting, even if totally misleading, couple of letters in Saturday’s paper.

R Aldridge assumes that the 52% who voted for Brexit are outnumbered by the 48% who voted remain combined with those that didn’t vote.

How does he know that those who didn’t cast their vote wished to remain? That I think is a pretty big assumption.

Anyway he uses that argument to say more didn’t vote for Brexit than did. Well where has he been voting as that is the way of British politics.

Using his argument more people didn’t vote for the Assembly than did and if one counts the votes at general elections it is normal that more voters vote for other parties combined than actually vote for the one that forms the government.

Then we have Meredydd Jones seeking another vote based on facts not fibs. Again, where has he been living?

I have yet to see a political party fully honour their pledges made during elections, when they are seeking our votes.

Again the Assembly vote can be used as an example of the facts not fulfilling the promise, or was I dreaming when we were promised a vote on tax-raising powers before they were implemented.

There was a vote, it said leave and if that result had been honoured by eurosceptics and remainers alike then we wouldn’t be in the turmoil we are now.

The Brexit vote itself isn’t/wasn’t the problem, it was the failure of all politicians and voters to respect the result.

There was never a vote to join other than the common market and now, when voters said enough integration with the European Union, that should have been an end to the matter.

It has happened, get over it, move on and make the best of it Dave Henderson Coelbren
