Classical Liberal leader submits bill that would nullify referendum result

Duncs11 will mount his anti-single market referendum campaign today, with a bill to nullify the referendum result being debating within the House of Commons.



The move comes as TheQuipton, the Brexit secretary, set into motion the single market referendum itself yesterday.



Going against referenda in general, the Classical Liberal leader will argue that "Referenda are a tool for politicians afraid to do their job and make decisions - they are simply a way for elected politicians to abdicate from their responsibly and pass the buck onto somebody else."



"They are an inherently divisive measure, always splitting the electorate into two sides, and far from solving any problems, they actually make things a lot more complex."



He will urge MPs to vote for his bill in order to defeat the government and to make the final decision on the single market in Parliament, where there is a pro-single market majority.



Despite his bill, however, Duncs11 is facing significant rebellion within his own party, evidence by the fact that the bill is a private member's bill, rather than a Classical Liberal bill.



For example, Classical Liberal member wtench instead of denouncing the single market referendum like his party leader yesterday, instead congratulated the government decision whilst directly attacking his leader's arguments.



"Let's be clear, the power of Parliament is power invested by the people. Giving some of that power back, when the public demands so, it not an abdication of responsibility - it is Parliament doing it's duty.



"Let's take heart in the desire of the demos to participate in direct decision making. Let us get stuck into the debate, fight for every vote and have a constructive and engaging debate. The Member for Cumbria believes that this is not the job of the public. I believe there is no better job."
