Regarding
the need for politicians to respect the will of the people as expressed in the
referendum on European Union membership by ensuring that we do leave the
European Union in March 2019.
I
voted to leave the European Union in the June 2016 referendum. Since becoming
your Member of Parliament in 2015, I have always made my Eurosceptic views
clear. I believe that by leaving the European Union, the British people will be
taking back control of our borders, laws, trade policy and avoid being part of
an ever-closing union, which has yield nothing but social and economic disaster
for many of its members.
I,
along with vast majority of my colleagues in Parliament, are of the opinion
that the referendum on the UK’s membership of European Union was a clear and
fair vote, demonstrating that we as a nation are in favour of leaving the
European Union.
To
delay, reverse or force a second referendum on the British public would
therefore not only be a betrayal of will of the British people, but also
undermine trust in our nation’s democratic institutions.
Like
you, I am a democrat and I believe that in order to safeguard our democracy we
need to implement the will of the nation, as expressed in the results of the
referendum, by leaving the European Union. I will continue to do whatever I can
to ensure we leave the EU in March 2019 and will be voting against any bills or
amendments that seek to undo the results of the EU referendum.
