Vote Tory for Brexit
I’M SORRY, I missed the Gazette poll Phillip Nield is getting excited about (Letters, November 7, ‘Poll rings true’).
So, 65 per cent want a people's vote. The PM and local MP, (Maria Miller) are telling untruths when they say, "most people want to see Brexit done." We made our decision in 2016, yes, most people, including those who voted remain, want to see Brexit done.
Phillip thinks it is wrong that Boris Johnson, could win this election, with only 35 per cent of the electorate voting for him, and give him a mandate for Brexit. I understand, that hard core Remainers, have a tenuous understanding of democracy, but I can assure him that this is democracy.
As for tactical voting I quite agree with him. Whatever your political allegiance, if you want us to get out of the corrupt EU, you must vote Tory. This will hopefully have the added bonus of getting rid of some of the MPs, who think they know better than us and have frustrated Brexit for nearly 3½ years.
Boris Johnson's deal is not a clean Brexit, and I still do not trust him to deliver one. But it is all we have at the moment. To vote for any other party, could see Brexit continue to drag on, or be cancelled altogether.
Also, Phillip, you can use this election as your people's vote. Enjoy.
