Tory MP found Brexit decision too difficult – so she chose not to vote
A SCOTS Tory MP has admitted she did not vote in the Brexit referendum because the decision was ‘very difficult’.
Angus MP Kirstene Hair said she left the choice to ‘everyone else’ and decided to go with the ‘will of the UK’.
Miss Hair said: ‘I didn’t vote on Brexit.
‘I took the decision not to vote on it. It was incredibly difficult. The first time I’ve not voted in my life.
‘It was very difficult because you get two arguments, very strong on both sides.
‘I just ultimately couldn’t make that decision and I thought I would therefore go with the will of the UK but if I’m honest I thought we would remain. But I left that to everyone else.’
She added: ‘Now I think we all have to get behind it and say, “You know what, that’s the way the country voted and we have to make the best of it”. I do think we’ve got good opportunities for the UK.’
