MP questions why Government offered referendum if risks so serious
The Prime Minister, Rt Hon David Cameron MP, has stated that a vote to leave the EU risks leading to the breakdown of peace and stability on the Continent. However, as recently as February, before the renegotiation deal was struck, the Prime Minister said in the House of Commons that, ‘I will never argue that Britain couldn’t survive outside the European Union….Let me say again, if we can’t secure these [benefit] changes, I rule nothing out’.
John said,
“It is ludicrous to suggest Brexit will lead to instability and war – the Prime Minister clearly has very little faith in his European partners. Coming from someone advocating a ‘remain’ vote, this is hardly a ringing endorsement of the EU.”
“In any case, the Prime Minister and senior Ministers were until recently stating they would support Brexit if the EU did not agree to very minor changes to immigrants’ access to benefits. Are they now saying they were willing to risk war for the sake of these inconsequential changes? If the risks are so serious, why did they agree to hold the referendum?”
“It is NATO and democracy which continues to be the cornerstone of European security. With EU-imposed mass unemployment in Southern Europe, and fraying relationships amongst member states due to a mismanaged refugee crisis, the EU is currently more of a force for instability. We should vote to leave it on 23rd June.”
