TO our local and national elected MPs. How many of them will carry out the wishes of the Bolton voting public to leave the European Union?
They have been given the mandate by the majority of the Bolton public to carry out leaving the EU. Unravelling Britain from the European Union will require dozens of votes in Parliament. But will any of them BLOCK any legislation that needs their vote in Parliament to carry out the wishes of a democratic vote taken on Thursday?
They will have plenty of opportunities for pro-EU MPs to sabotage any vote.
If the Commons block an exit from the single market, Britain would still have to accept the EU's free movement rules. This would make any process a shambles.
There are a majority of MPs that voted to remain including our own pro-EU MPs and they could deny the wishes of the Bolton people who voted overwhelmingly to leave.
Could we have our MPs' assurances, no matter what parties that they belong to, that they will do their duty for the constituents who voted for Brexit. This was not a vote against any political party or any leader of any political party this was a vote against the European Union ruling the British people.All politicians should now accept this in a democratic way and should now carry out the wishes of that vote.
If any MP votes to block any legislation regarding Britain leaving the EU he or she is not fit to be a British MP and hold any public office.
