Vote for legitimacy

If we ever get to the stage of agreeing Johnson’s WA in parliament, this must be put back to those who started all this - the voter.

Johnson is a prime minister without a mandate. He has lost every single vote in Parliament and it is clear that this deal sacrifices two pillars of conservatism
The union
The economy.

Many brexiters will be alarmed at the implication of the WA, and unless the ability to amend it is given to the HoC then as it stands it will be an anathema to many people both leavers and remainers.

I’m not talking about those who vote for emotional reasons, but those who vote with integrity and full knowledge- either way.

This WA must be put back to the voter to both complete the circle and legitimise it.

Without that vote the public will have no stake in the future and responsibility for the outcome, good or bad.

1 million. The biggest demonstration ever.

Ignore these people at your peril

People's Vote UK

The people are here Boris Johnson, and they don't want your hard #Brexit proposal.

Give the voter the final say.
Make it a legal vote and then get on with the result.

German this reporting that there were in fact 2.2million on the March. They have come to that figure by using some fancy crowd measuring technology.

Michael Heseltine has just voiced your thoughts (and mine) in a sky news interview.
