Letter sent to Robert Goodwill MP on 25-Nov-2018:

Dear Mr Goodwill

I wrote to you a few weeks ago concerning Brexit, and I'm disappointed not to have received any response. But it's possible that my e-mail did not reach you, so I am writing again.

Over the past 2½ years since the EU Membership Referendum, we've experience an omnishambles negotiation, with the cabinet squabbling like children among themselves. We've discovered that what we were promised in the referendum campaign was utter fabrication, fantasy and downright lies. And we've now reached the point of having a deal on the table which has united even arch-Brexiteers like Dominic Raab and Arron Banks, with arch-Remainers like Tony Blair and Vince Cable - that the "Prime Minister's Deal" is worse than remaining in the European Union.

I feel very very angry that we, the United Kingdom, were sold a pack of utter shite, and that now we know the truth it would be undemocratic to have a second referendum to confirm... not whether it's what the people voted for because it's clearly not; but whether it is acceptable to them, or whether they would prefer to remain within the European Union. Clearly, it would be anti-democratic, and against everything the UK is supposed to stand for, *NOT* to have a second referendum.

Having given my view, I'd like to know yours; and how you intend to proceed:
  • Do you believe Theresa May's deal gives the UK a situation as good as, or better than the ones we currently enjoy as Members of the European Union?
  • Do you beleive the deal on the table is what #Leave voters were promised during the EU Membership referendum?
  • Do you support a referendum on whether or not the EU should leave the European Union on the terms that have been negotiated?
Finally, I want to remind you of what the hardest-line Brexiteers themselves said about a 2nd referendum before the first referendum had taken place:

Yours sincerely

- Andi Ye
