Brexit: A Duty to Speak Up

Jun 9, 2024 | The main parties won’t talk about Brexit during the general election, so it’s up to us. It’s our duty to speak up and break the silence by our political leaders.

Going ahead with Brexit, with the support of a mere 37% of the electorate and with half the nations of the UK voting strongly against it, was an abomination. In other democracies with more experience of running referendums properly, Brexit could never have proceeded based on such minority support.

There are NO benefits to Brexit; none whatsoever. Only severe downsides, that are hurting Britain now and will increasingly hurt us in the years ahead. We need our politicians to offer us a democratic route out of Brexit, not an undemocratic road deeper into it. But neither Labour nor the Tories will even discuss Brexit.

If the two main parties cannot be honest with us about the reality of Brexit, then we, the people, must be honest with the country and with ourselves. It is our duty to speak up. Brexit is a disaster that CAN be reversed with democratic consent from the electorate to apply to join the EU again or at least its Single Market.

A general election is just the right time to ask voters about Brexit, eight years after the referendum. Of course, it would be up to the EU to decide whether our application was accepted, but the first move must come from us. We cannot let Britain slide further away from our friends, allies, and family on the mainland of our continent without speaking up so clearly that prospective MPs are in no doubt that most of the country opposes Brexit, as confirmed by multiple opinion polls.

If you are a patriot, if you agree that Brexit presents huge dangers for our country, if you can see that Brexit is not an Act of God but a dereliction of duty by rogue politicians, then you must speak up. 𝗪𝗲 𝗺𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗮𝗸 𝘂𝗽. 𝗧𝗵𝗮𝘁’𝘀 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗱𝘂𝘁𝘆.



The United Kingdom will never be able to achieve significant economic growth outside of the European Union, especially outside of the Single Market, which is the largest single market the world has ever known. And it's right on our doorstep! The politicians who used the term "Global Britain" were being disingenuous and naïve. They were leading the electorate up the garden path for their own ideological prejudices and several probably to be able to line their own pockets. In using that term, they also showed us what a weak grip they had on economics and international trade. Brexit must be reversed. Period! — © Mark Alexander
