Thanks for getting in touch. In the initial vote, I voted to remain. For many reasons; as the question itself did not give any specific understanding of what it would mean. I also knew; at the time, that it would be a complicated process. At present things like borders, security, trade and funding is controlled by European processes. But mostly; I voted to remain because I did not want to be on an island, with no protection from the EU or the European Court of Human rights; while the Conservative Government were in control.





As a disabled woman, it is frightening to consider that legislation to protect the rights of vulnerable groups will alter or become obsolete through the Great Repeal Bill. The conservative government have already had damning reports the European Court of Human Rights. They seem to be taking little notice of criticism or suggestions for change.





There is no easy answer on how we move forward with this. We do not even know what Brexit will look like at the end. But I am unchanged in my opinion, so given the opportunity, I would vote to cancel any further plans. This could result in hours of discussion, so I apologise if my answer is brief.





Brexit is the biggest single issue that many of us will face in our lifetime. It has raised many issues with regard to our democratic system. The recent votes in the Commons have left some Labour members frustrated and let down by their own MP's. While I am frustrated that the Government escaped defeat on many of the amendments by our own party; I also feel that it is indicative of the issue.





Brexit will mean different things to different sections of our society. Industry will have its own view, farmers will feel threatened, migration is going to be affected........ this in itself is a major blow for industry and business as Britain has a long standing skills gap. Brexit is all encompassing. It also is above party politics as it is extremely divisive. It will go down in history as an English Civil War in the making, I suggest.





Given that we have a Hung Parliament at the moment, with Conservative reorganisations happening frequently and the Brexit Chequers Deal being criticized just days after its discussion..... A peoples Vote is inevitable. They cannot even agree amongst themselves, and any proposal seems to threaten the peace and security of Northern Ireland...… the very part of the British constitution that is propping this hung parliament up. Alongside all of this, the media revelations about the way in which finances were abused, Electoral commission scrutiny the failure to agree a position on Brexit is ensuring that we are heading towards a democratic disaster...…. A peoples vote may entail another snap election, which several options regarding the final outcome. If so, the British constitution as we know it, will change forever. To answer the question posed though; I would support a peoples vote. If the Government has any empathy for all of its consequences, it will call one soon. I suspect that this will happen following the conference season in September.





I hope that it is enough for you to consider voting for me.





Take care and kind regards



Nicola Morrison
