Last Sunday Mrs May declared Brexit manifesto at the Conservative Party conference. Before the end of this financial year she will introduce a Great Repeal Bill to undo the 1972 Act of joining the EC and will invoke the Article 50 of Lisbon Treaty (2007). This manifesto has silenced the Doubting-thomases and the hard core Europhiles at the same time. Three month delay in the declaration is due to the previous Government’s raw arrogance which did not allow them to do preparatory work for the eventuality of “Leave” vote majority. A sensible government would have prepared for both options.
We will be negotiating the terms of leaving the EU from a position of strength as they need us more than we need them. The remaining EU members even cannot communicate with each other without our language and a same position is there in Finance, Defence, Intelligence and Research. All of us should unite behind our PM and her team so she can lead our great sovereign nation to a bright future especially for the young generation. The EU is only 0.44 billion people but there are other seven billion people with whom we can freely do business without the shackles from Brussels.
