BREXIT MEANS BREXIT
Both David Cameron and Theresa May have clearly stated that Brexit means Brexit. Mrs.May has appointed three known Brexiteers to get on with the job. They are MP David Davis, Secretary of State for exiting the EU ; MP Boris Johnson , Foreign Secretary ; and MP Liam Fox, Secretary of State for International Trade. All three will form a powerful Brexit team headed up by Theresa May.
What does Brexit mean?
- Sovereignty – taking back our sovereign powers is the prime objective as all changes will flow from there.
- Exiting the EU without any political ties or payments to the EU budget.
- Removal of Freedom of Movement
- Introduction of an Immigration Act which passes full control of Immigration to Parliament enabling it to ensure that we have full control of borders and numbers entering the UK while taking into account that those who enter have a job which is of benefit to the UK.
- British Bill of Rights # – this will be introduced to replace the Human Rights Act of 1998 which has brought the whole system into disrepute. The UK will still be signed up to the European Court of Human Rights which has stood up well until the Human Rights Act was introduced.
- Trade and the Single Market. Mrs.May will negotiate the best deal for the UK once Clause 50 of the Lisbon Treaty has been triggered. During this period the Brexit team will be preparing International Trade Agreements which will signed on the completion of the EU Trade agreement.
- Throughout this period the UK will be seeking to work with the EU as closely as possible, especially in areas of security.
- There will be many issues such as immigrants right to remain in the UK after Brexit and similarly the right to remain for UK citizens abroad. Use of EU health cards. Taking back our Fisheries. Retaining, amending or repealing 42 years worth of EU legislation which currently forms part of UK law. All of these matters will form part of the negotiations but the prime objective is regaining the right to govern ourselves without outside interference.
#British Bill of Rights - to replace the 1998 Human Rights Act which will mean that the European Court of Human Rights is no longer binding over the UK Supreme Court. Germany has already dealt with this problem by ruling that if there is conflict between German Basic Law and the ECHR, then the Basic Law prevails over the Convention. The Human Rights Act failed to offer similar protection to the UK.
In summary, MPS4BREXIT are asking all MPs to support Brexit, as outlined above, starting in Somerset and being pushed out throughout the UK. The People need to be assured that our politicians are in full support of the outcome of the Referendum which produced a 52%/48% vote to leave the EU. We are aware that there are Remain MPs who wish to stop Brexit as well as Leave MPs who are backtracking on the removal of Freedom of Movement. We are deeply concerned as this would derail the purpose of the referendum. We need to secure the support of all MPs.
To this end we are contacting all Somerset MPs to ensure that they are fully committed to Brexit.
