Brexit voter changes mind, writes to MP asking for a referendum now truth is known
Here’s the letter from Chris Armstrong (@HistoryMaker316), a Brexit voter in 2016, to their MP:
A letter to my local MP @alexsobel about #brexit, asking for a #secondreferendum. I’ve changed my mind and others have as well. Please respect the #willofthepeople by finding out what they really think, now that the facts are better known and the lies of 2016 have been exposed.
It’s an important point that the ‘will of the people’ isn’t a one time thing. Only dictators go for ‘you’ve had your say once, and now I’m in, you aren’t allowed it ever again’. If you’re really a democrat, then you believe in people having power not once, but repeatedly.
No wonder, therefore, that so many former Labour supporters are now switching to the Liberal Democrats to keep the democratic fight against Brexit going.
For more on how to stop Brexit, see Nick Clegg’s new animation, and here are a few more examples of Bregret from other people:
I voted leave and I completely regret it. Wouldn’t even think of it now I know that’s mess and alienation it will cause #brexitamnesty

@VictoriaLIVE I voted leave but to be honest I wish they would call the whole thing off, there is so much other stuff going on that isn’t getting the full attention of our government as everyone is so focused on Brexit. I think if there was another vote I would change my mind

Hi Roberta, I was a leave voter but I’ve come to realise I was led to believe in things that could never be delivered. Please on my behalf do what you can to ensure we hold a referendum on the terms of Brexit. Too many jobs are at stake in the North East @robertabwMP

I have voted in favour or joining the EU and voted to remain in EU and remain unconvinced of any economic benefits from change on both occasions, although I am now certain we moved from “basket case” to “top of the economies of Europe” since we joined until we voted to leave. My reasons to vote in and remain were purely on defense grounds to avoid European Nations going to war again, amongst themselves (see Serbia). And despite Ukraine and Russia being in Europe, we had been moving towards making Europe a War free zone.
Now with Brexit looming, I am moving towards supporting Brexit, so the current generation can find out how bad it will be, before we get embroiled in another war, when we will need to be dependent on European Nations to keep us safe. Its risky and we will probably become another “basket case” economy like Greece, Spain and soon to follow Italy so we need the EU to strike a solid deal for Germany and France. so they can bail us out when we re-apply to join. But we would of course come in after Greece and Spain for this sort of support, so it will not be this generation and we will remain the poor man and woman of Europe for many years to come.
I have seen many distressed voters turning to Libdems last June as both sides of political scene didn’t do well enough to defend the national interest. Losing investors, new investments, jobs and pound losing it’s value with demagogues promising things they have neglected themselves, the public largely misinformed getting knowledgeable now, not in favour of governing classes, but in favour of defending the lives of the common people, their daily bread (with prices going up and up), their workplaces it is time they get the voice, real voice not spoken by politicians who sold their souls to Murdoch’s empire. Time for them to out their views on the table, on Brexit, on services and economical worries, this is what democratic countries do, and the Liberal don’t abuse powers, give European Union a chance, and kids to grow up and adults had chance to.
