I represent a minority in FH but voted to leave.

As you know the referendum question was should we leave or stay. It wasn't should we leave if we get a good deal.

The majority voted to leave. Please stop going on about Parliament being subverted. Those blocking our exit never wanted to leave on any terms.

Your post also suggests that only stupid people voted to leave. Whilst I accept the level of the debate (on both sides) was poor it is the essence of universal franchise that you don't need to pass a test before voting.

As it happens unlike many in Westminster I studied economics so I know the risks of Brexit. I also appreciated the opportunities. I voted to leave for political reasons. However if someone voted to leave because they thought it would stop Russians coming to the UK that was their right. Equally if a person voted to stay because they were worried that Brexit might stop them from buying a flat white from Cafe Nero that is also fine.

I and 17 million other people would be grateful if Parliament would do what it was told to do and if the remainders would respect the result of the referendum.
