Christmas letter to my MP

Dear MP,

Merry Christmas, despite reading your profile and discovering that you are somewhat oddly for a socialist, an avid EU phile, I feel that I need to drop you a line.

Your predecessor was ejected by people like me, because of his similar affliction, I had the discussion with him on my doorstep during the last election. Many of us sometime tory voters, opted for other parties, notably UKIP, or abstained. No one at the time, really knew just how involved he was in wishing to go against the majority of voters in this country who were almost unanimously given the task of advising Parliament by parliament, on the long vexed question of our membership of the European Project, the EEC/EU.

Personally, I voted "No" in 1975 (my first vote), on the basis that the party that I then supported, Labour... were mainly anti "common market", the more traditional advocates were warning about the loss of sovereignty, and the Tories were lying through their teeth about that, apart from a few mavericks. It was the leadership of that Neil Kinnock that did for me as a Labour supporter. He might have helped rid the party of "Militant" but he also switched from being anti-EEC, and when he lost his election, flounced off to Europe to make his fortune.

I voted "Leave" in 2016, and I would hope that patriots everywhere understand that "loss of sovereignty" if we remain, or accept our lying PM's "deal" will continue apace. 

If we actually leave and parliament accepts the advice they were given in what was a simple binary vote, sovereignty will be restored.

This will mean that typical socialist policy of state ownership and/or subsidy, will no longer be illegal, as it would be under EU law. However, from my point of view, whatever my current affiliations, I can vote for or against the lot that sit in parliament and do it. That is priceless, doing otherwise breaks nearly a thousand years of Magna Carta and common law. Age does not necessarily mean "past it", it can mean sensible, mature and reasoned. If we remain, such policy cannot be undone, or changed, except by a bunch of unelected civil servants and old men in Brussels. 

Speaking of age, I note that your leader has said that he will not support "The Deal", but other members of the Labour hierarchy are less forthright, and continue to vacillate or act as if "No Deal" is something to be afraid of. Whatever happens, there are bound to be a few teething problems, but what I like to call a "WTO Deal" rather than the former, is merely a starting position, even though the vast majority of our export business is carried out under these conditions, is by far the least disruptive. It also supports the instructions that you were given by the largest number of voters since universal suffrage made Labour one of the biggest parties in this country.

I trust that you will accept your leader's position and not support our lying PM's deal, and let us proceed to an orderly exit from what Mr. Gorbachev described as the western USSR, before he finally retired to his Dacha. Let her current season of hysteria wither over the Christmas, New year break and let March 29th become the day that we restored our sovereignty.

The only folk that will definitely benefit from remaining, or accepting the "May Deal" are those that own or have substantial holdings in multi-national corporations, they only have to lobby one central agency to curry favour. Likewise, those that might be able to retire on an EU pension, as long as they don't speak against it of course, or those that wish to retire from domestic politics and opt for the easy life in Brussels. It's not until you understand this, that you understand the Kinnocks', the Mandelsons', or the Kellners', and other recipients of taxpayers cash via Brussels. 

We are definitely better off out and that is especially true for Labour members and voters, five million of whom voted to leave in 2016, and reasserted against all the odds, their position by voting for the most left wing Labour leader in history, thus boosting the Labour presence in parliament... far more than was thought possible at the time.

I trust that you will help to ensure that this dreadful PM does not get her way.

Yours sincerely,

Me
