Ask MPs to keep to their known wishes on the EU expressed at the last Election.
At the last General Election over 3 out of 4 winning MPs wished to remain in the EU. Democratically elected MPs ought not abandon their known stance and overturn the UK electorate’s mandate because of a referendum where campaigns were dominated by immigration rather than the EU.
We consequently ask that Parliament does not advise leaving the EU, with no known execution plans, as this would be both irresponsible and acting undemocratically.
