Brexit Central
The following is an open letter to
Theresa May from Cllr Bob Perry and a host of other Conservative Party
activists (as listed at the bottom)
Dear Prime Minister,
We write to you in an absolute state of
despair as to what is happening to democracy in this once great country
of ours. We use the term “once great” as that is how we will be viewed,
going forward on the world stage, if the will of the people is not
implemented in full by leaving the European Union on 29th March 2019, as
directed by the people on 23rd June 2016.
We understand and respect your strong
desire to leave with a deal, your deal; but may we politely remind you
that the British people did not vote for a deal – they voted to Leave.
When you took office you stood outside
Number 10 and stated loudly that “Brexit means Brexit”. The British
people expect you to honour that pledge. Failure to do so is a denial of
democracy itself and you personally will be held responsible for that
great act of betrayal.
The events of the past few days have
shown the utter contempt in which parliamentarians hold the people. The
relentless attempts to cancel Brexit by any means is shameful and
deplorable. Vote after vote, amendment after amendment, are all based
around denying the British people the independence for which they they
voted. The mere thought that a Conservative Government, led by you,
could put forward an amendment to delay Article 50, effectively denying
the will of the people, is unforgivable."
