Dear Brexiters,
Politicians made it so your completely understandable decision started a fire in our house.
You're in here with us. It's your responsibility to help us put it out.

If you voted Brexit because you were worried about globalisation hurting normal people, well Brexit has brought about "Global Britain".
(Exporting our goods beyond Europe is more expensive, so smaller companies won't cope as well as Multinationals)

If you voted Brexit because the EU is "letting in everyone so they can steal benefits and cause an #NHSCrisis".... it turns out the UK simply wasn't enforcing the EU's restrictions on immigration.

If you voted Brexit because "we don't have a say in the decisions the EU takes".... I don't know what else to tell you... The Parliament is elected by you, the Council is made of national ministers and the Commission is chosen by heads of government.

If you voted Brexit because you were worried about a federal United States of Europe, well that's up to us. A Federal EU would mean transferring power from the National Level to the European level. That would need a Treaty change. That only happens if there's unanimity.

If you voted Brexit because you felt the Single Market wasn't worth it.... that might be because neither the Remain camp or the Leave camp bothered to treat you like an adult, and tell you what the Single Market is.

If you voted Brexit to make the UK more Sovereign and to limit the control of Big Business...
Regulations are mainly about consumer protection. For the UK to remain attractive to businesses after Brexit we're going to need to cut them. A lot of them. To keep business happy.

If you voted Brexit because the "Commission has too much power over legislation", what Remain/Leave failed to tell you is:
Any proposal the Commission makes can be rejected AND largely re-written by your elected MEPs so even if the Commission proposes rubbish MEPs have control.

If you voted Brexit because you feared the EU was letting millions of refugees enter the UK. In fact the UK, unlike other EU countries, has complete control over which refugees it lets in. We have a special exemption.

If you voted Brexit because of your concerns for the UK Fishing Industry. I understand that but:
A) Limits are unavoidable to prevent over-fishing which would be worse for us.
B) Those limits are calculated by sustainability experts
C) NATIONAL ministers then decide who gets what

If you voted Brexit because you were worried EU migrants were putting too much strain on the NHS, in fact, EU migrants contribute more doctors (per head) than UK nationals, so they increase our Doctor-Patient ratio.
#NHSCrisis

If you voted Brexit to create a more British Britain for your kids, your kids are adults and they really don't want the kind of Britain Brexit would create.

If you voted Brexit because you've been voting UKIP for years and you haven't seen the reforms you were looking for.
A) There have been changes (see transparency register, Lisbon treaty...)
B) Might I suggest voting more constructive MEPs

The decision is yours.
Help us put out the fire, or burn with us because your pride is more important than your country.
