ON LEAVING THE EU

Today has been one of those political days when you pinch yourself and say did this actually happen? In 2016 I voted to remain in the EU but the result of the referendum stated that we must leave and now today two years on we were to leave and we have not left such are the politics of the UK. The most amazing thing in my circle of family and friends has been the fact that over the past 2 years Brexit was not and is not a topic of conversation unless I asked what the people thought about it and what it meant and then you heard what they thought. Since the UK joined the EU in 1974 the conservative party has been Euro-sceptic looking for a way to leave and in 2016 David Cameron gave them a referendum which gave the unexpected leave result and this result has to be honoured. But the people have spoken and parliament and the MPs that we the people send to Westminster have spoken but they are saying something different as a result the people and the MPs seem to be at odds. Simply put whether the MPs or me or anyone else likes it or not we should leave because this is the will of the people freely expressed in a referendum. I personally would like to remain but the majority says leave and as we live in a democracy that is the way it should be.
