Madam,

I feel that I should respond to Cllr Powell’s letter regarding the so-called ‘People’s Vote’ (‘Delight at support for People’s Vote’).

It is no such thing. The real people’s vote was on 23 June 2016 when the EU referendum result was that the UK should leave this institution.

The current ‘People’s Vote’ was formed purely to reverse that decision by those who cannot or will not accept the result and want to stay and obey the EU.

Just note those who spoke at the recent London rally, MPs Chuka Umunna, Anna Soubry, Layla Moran, Caroline Lucas, and Lord Adonis. Other who attended were Vince Cable, David Lammy and an assortment of entertainers and the ubiquitous Gina Miller. Each and every one of them is an outspoken Remainer, and wants to overturn the democratic referendum.

I agree that the negotiations have been handled badly as the cards were stacked in the UK’s favour and we have allowed the unelected bureaucrats of the EU to walk roughshod over us. Their brief is to stop Brexit at all costs.

At this year’s Royal Welsh Agricultural Show, I spoke to someone at the Liberal (they are not Democrats) stand, and asked him, as Plaid Cymru only won by 104 votes why didn’t the Liberals demand another vote. He said that they couldn’t do that. My reply was obvious, why are you trying to do it with the EU referendum?

We’ve had the people’s vote, the politicians should stop faffing about and get on with Brexit and make the UK great again.

Yours etc,

Chris Samuel, William Street, Aberystwyth.
