Dear Brexiter, now regretting your decision to vote leave.

Dear Brexiter now regretting your decision to vote Leave,

Perhaps you would like to write to your MP (find out who they are here) based on the fact you are regretting your decision now all the campaign lies have emerged and you can see the full consequences of what is going to happen. To make it easy for you I have even written a sample letter for you. Feel free to copy/adapt/share and send into your own MP. A very narrow majority in a referendum that should never have been had in the first place and was completely based on lies (from both sides) cannot be what ultimately causes our awesome country to end up in a much worse position than it was before!

Thankyou.

Dear MP,

In a democracy we have protection from broken campaign promises by being able to vote out any such liars at the next election. However our protection from broken promises does not apply in the case of a decision to leave the EU as it is an irrevocable decision.

 

In the days since the EU referendum result emerged it has also emerged that:

 

1) There is no real intention to leave the single market therefore we will be bound by many of the same EU regulations we are already but a removed ability to have say in how any of those regulations are developed. This puts us in a worse position than before and is not why I voted Leave.

 

2) Remaining in the single market means immigration could never be capped or controlled in the way the Leave campaign led us to believe it could be, people have been lied too and voted on the basis of a lie.

 

3) There is no intention to support the NHS with better funding with money saved from the EU. Again many many people like myself voted thinking by voting leave they were saving the NHS.

 

The EU referendum campaign was built on lies and the British public voted on the basis of those lies. However this is not a decision we can vote again to change in 5 years. These lies are outrageous and the outcome is something that will have far reaching consequences to the huge detriment of the United Kingdom. The referendum result needs to be anulled on the basis of these lies.

We now also have seen the immediate terrible impact the non-binding referendum result has had on the British economy and can expect future serious turmoil to the economy while these plans are set in motion. This was not fully anticipated by many of us who voted Leave (as the leave campaign continually downplayed the consequences) and as a result I am now seriously regretting my decision to vote leave. 

I would like my decision to vote Leave to no longer be counted as part of this referendum.

I now believe we either need to repeat the referendum with a promise of a strong majority of at least 60% with 75% turnout (as the petition to be debated in parliament) before any decision sets the wheels in motion on a decision that cannot be changed. Or as elected MP’s it is for the Houses of Parliament to decide the results of the referendum are null and void given the exceptionally narrow majority and given it was a campaign based on lies. This option is preferable rather than put the public through the stress of another referendum.

This particular referendum should never have been offered in the first place, and only was offered based on back room political wranglings rather than a genuine desire to give the British people a say.

 

I would like to urgently hear your thoughts on this matter.

Many thanks

Former Leave Voter.
