Dear Members of the House of Parliament

I am an avid follower of the debates in the house and politics in general, even though I now reside outside the UK. I must say however, that I am astounded and embarrassed as a British Citizen by the conduct of a large number of Members of the House. We, the British Public have already had our say in the referendum and again in the subsequent general election where Mrs May was elected Prime Minister. Those that want another referendum or a General Election are merely doing so for their own self-serving interests regardless of the harm they are doing to the economy and the global influence the UK has enjoyed for centuries.

I would like to make one thing crystal clear, the public voted and it is the constitutional duty of the Members of the House to act on that and not as they are doing. Whilst debate and challenge is an important part of our democracy and should always be encouraged, the childlike debates going on at present make a mockery of our system not only in the eyes of the British Public, but that of the world in general and I am frankly fed up with it. The House of Parliament is now being seen globally, as almost as big a joke as Mr Trump, something I never thought was possible.

If, we allow this debacle to continue any longer, the country as a whole will face in my humble opinion, the worst economic disaster in our history. At present the credibility of our country, our currency and our democracy is at stake and it is incumbent upon all Members of the House to act if good faith and for the benefit of the country as whole United Kingdom.

We all know that the country was deeply divided during the referendum and that parts of the country voted to remain, I am in fact one of those people who believe remain was the better choice for the country, however the people voted to leave and I believe that must be adhered to. I hear a lot of public and Members of the House talk about misinformation during the referendum and yes that may be true, but a lot of the same people who were responsible for that misinformation are the main culprits in this debacle.

As I have pointed out, the majority of the country voted to leave, that is what should happen now and the Members of the House should respect that.

However unpalatable as it is, to break the deadlock there needs to be some movement from all parties and I have the following proposal.

1. Vote in the house for a new Referendum.
2. Make public the Members individual vote.
3. If the vote passes in the house to hold a new referendum, the following should apply:-
   1. Those Members who voted yes and their constituents still vote to leave should resign immediately and forfeit any pension or other benefits they are entitled to. This will help cover the costs of this as they clearly did not have their constituents interests at heart and why should the tax payer pay again.
4. If the vote fails, then this gives the government the green light to move forward with the deal, no more debate no more nonsense, the Members of the House get  behind the government and show a united front, this is what gives bargaining power, not division.

The above option will clearly show the Members of the House who actually believe that the people of their constituency have changed their mind and may make them actually engage with their constituents before voting for a new referendum and will give a clear indication of what the country is thinking.

Whilst this is potentially workable, I am also concerned about the larger implications, the Members of the House have to take responsibility for the division they are causing in this country, instead of their duty to unite it. I have a deep fear that the longer this does go on, the inevitable question on Scottish Independence comes up again, even though the Scottish people voted to stay part of the UK, the SNP will use this as an excuse to try to get another vote. The Scottish people were told it was a once in a generation vote, but this debacle will be used as an excuse and we may possibly see the country actually divided.

Yours Sincerely

Concerned British Citizen
