After the largest turnout of voters in our democratic history we continue to have MPs hoping to overturn the resulting and decisive vote in favour of leaving the EU.

We’re told ‘A peoples' vote’ will allow us to have the final say on the available options, due to it being such a complex matter & MPs being unable, or in many cases unwilling, to find a way out.

All of this turmoil has been brought about by the arrogance of those in parliament or the establishment who, with their ‘Project Fear’ regarding the immediate disastrous consequences to the country in leaving the EU, were sure we’d be frightened into line.

The world kept turning and all the predicted calamity didn’t come about, but nevertheless they kept soldiering on, by telling us it was a close vote and we didn’t understand the issues involved and were lied to by the Leave campaign.

Never is it mentioned about the lies or predictions of the Remain campaign, nor the fact that there was more than likely many who voted to stay, who wanted to vote Leave but were scared into submission to toe the line by the Remain campaign.

The mess we are in is solely down to MPs who are resisting the will of the people, undermining negotiations and manipulating the situation.

This shameful state of affairs, where we have the PM grovelling to the EU, is embarrassing to observe and is dragging this once great country further down the pan, as at every turn the situation becomes more dire.

Now those determined to make us Remain are hoping for a second go at getting us to vote their way, as they think all the fear & confusion they have created will force us into submission.

Day by day they gradually destroy the remnants of our faith in democracy by relentlessly attempting to get the result they wish; they had better be careful of what they wish for.
