Only people’s vote can break the deadlock
Brexit backers’ motives
I AM writing to you today because the chaos of our political system is finally coming to a head. With parliamentary politics as it stands, in insurmountable deadlock, it is only right that we take back control from the politicians who have failed us for far too long.
The chaos has really beggared belief, and as we come to the end of the panto season it’s hard to tell the difference between what’s been going on down in Westminster and the local panto production.
Even those who supported Brexit with their chequebooks now recognise that it is impossible to deliver.
But unlike Dick Whittington we don’t know how this parliamentary drama will end – in fact, no-one seems to. The Government have no idea, no plan B, and a plan A that almost everyone thinks will fail. The Opposition are tying themselves in knots with every shadow minister pitching a different version of party policy.
It is clear that the only thing left which provides a semblance of a solution to this Brexit mess is to give us the final say and put the people back in the driving seat over their futures.
Only a people’s vote with the option to remain can unblock the parliamentary pipes, revive our failing political system and allow us to focus on other monumental challenges facing our country at this time.
Alternatively, the Government can revoke Article 50 and put an end to this misadventure that has cost jobs, futures, held our country up to international ridicule and made us look like an unreliable trading partner. DOROTHY Wilson denigrates the wealthy people behind Best for Britain.
Fair enough. She may be right. But look at some of the leading lights behind Brexit.
They have been part of a Government that has increased homelessness, taken food from children, increased the need for food banks enormously, cut incomes, and allowed people to die in the streets. And this is the tip of the iceberg. Whose interests were they looking after when they gave massive tax cuts to millionaires and awarded themselves huge pay increases? Whose interests is their Brexit looking after?
She describes the 2016 referendum as the biggest example of democracy the country has ever seen.
That does not say much for our previous examples of democracy. The referendum was riddled with lies, outside interference and corruption. People were excluded from voting and today several million people’s future is affected by something they were not given the opportunity to have a say in and, left to Dorothy Wilson, never will have. She calls that democracy.
