I believe in democracy. I trust the people to make important decisions. I also believe that democracy now dictates we must have a second referendum on the final EU withdrawal bill. Those politicians who try to block this present a warped image of power to the people, and really only want more power for themselves. Power to the people means no citizen is silenced and no issue is beyond debate. It means the people are in power not just once a decade, but continuously. It means the executive branch cannot act as it pleases, but is controlled by the elected parliament. And it means that the people can make decisions about the future when they know what it might look like, rather than being forced to jump into the unknown by a government lacking democratic legitimacy.

These deeply held convictions recently made me come to a decision: I must try to stop Brexit. I am now campaigning all around the country, talking to voters everywhere, to try to convince them of the need for a second referendum. When the people are presented with the inevitably unfavourable terms of the withdrawal bill, it will be clear that the right future of the UK is in, not out, of the EU.
