Please, for crying out loud - understand that I am in no way saying that we shouldn't leave the EU. Despite the fact that I am an avid remainder, I accept that a small majority of the people that voted in June voted for us to leave it and therefore it must happen.
However, the facts remain.
- On the ballot paper it gave you an options of "remain a member of the European Union" and "leave the European Union". Under no terms was our membership of the European Single Market or the EEA under question, the opportunity to vote on it has yet to present itself.
- The 2015 general election winning Conservative Party manifesto states their commitment to the European Single Market.
I believe in democracy, therefore any attempt to skew this "
binary" vote into something that has no political mandate
needs to be directly opposed - not only for the good of the country and its people, but for the integrity of our democracy as a whole.
