Dears Sir, Democracy? In the current House of Commons 80% of MPs stood for election on manifestos which promised to respect the Leave Referendum majority and to leave the E.U. In the Northeast and the Midlands the vote to Leave was approximately 60% (of the highest turnout for a democratic vote in the history of the ‘Mother of Parliaments’). Why have we not yet left the E.U.? The answer is simple. MPs who promised to respect the Brexit vote and who promised to support leaving have changed their minds! 12 MPs have gone further. Three Conservatives have stabbed their Party Leader in the back. Nine have resigned from the Labour Party, ostensibly, for the noble cause of standing up to bullying and Anti-Semitism, but actually, to call for a second referendum in the hope of thwarting Brexit. It is clear that a sizeable majority of MPs lied when they said that they would respect the Leave vote when they stood in the 2015 General Election. Democracy cannot survive such deceit! The 12 MPs who now call themselves ‘Independent’ have disenfranchised circa. 840,000 voters. Democracy demands that they resign their seats and allow By-elections. Indeed, for democracy to survive, all MPs in constituencies where the majority voted to Leave, must either, support leaving the E.U. or, resign and stand for re-election. It appears that our MP, Phil Wilson, also lied about his allegiance to his leader, Corbyn. In order to ensure re-election he not only lied about respecting the 60% plus Leave vote in his constituency, but, on the eve of the poll, he issued a leaflet saying that he did not support Corbyn’s leadership of the Labour Party. However, today in Parliament, Phil Wilson is hand-in-glove with the newly ‘independent’ MPs and Corbyn. Corbyn is now supporting a second Referendum and will campaign for Remain! A shameless amalgamation of the undemocratic ‘Remainers’ in our, so called, ’Parliamentary Democracy’. Any vote in Parliament for a second Referendum must be subject to legal challenge. Our Constitution currently requires that a referendum is first mooted in a Party’s manifesto. If that Party is elected then a majority in the House is required for the Government to enact the necessary Act of Parliament. To do so otherwise would not be in accordance with the Constitutional requirements that were required for Brexit. We have been threatened with civil unrest in Ireland if a hard border results from Brexit. That is, we are being blackmailed! However, what will be the consequences for Parliament, for our Democracy, for our Institutions, for our country, for our safety, and for the proper rule of law, if Parliament and the E.U. conspire to keep us in, or even partly in, the E.U? Phil Wilson should not negotiate through a political crisis using lies. However, has he got the gumption to fully appreciate the probable consequences? They are likely to be much worse than the plague of boils that he has threatened will visit us in the event of a No-Deal Brexit. I consider that, whether we remain or leave the E.U., the majority must insist on revenge on various institutions that have not properly respected or served the majority view. E.g. the BBC, the House of Lords and the House of Commons. The UKIP manifesto calls for the abolition of the BBC Licence Fee. I think that this would be popular to most leave voters. However, if the Licence Fee was to be transferred to the NHS no politician would dare to oppose it. Yours sincerely, Alastair P.G. Welsh
