I don't sign every petition...
Mar. 22nd, 2019 10:34 am...but I have signed the petition to Parliament to revoke Article 50.
I didn't sign it because I thought that it would actually cause a change of plan. I signed it because I was so angry at the Prime Minister trying to blame Parliament for a mess which is of her own making. Mrs May says that she is on the side of the 17 million people who voted leave; I want to remind her that as Prime Minister she is supposed to represent the entire country, the 48% who voted remain as well as the 52% who voted leave.
My signature is a vote of confidence in my MP, who would much rather be working for her constituents on all the other issues which are being shelved (I know this because she has said so) while Parliament tries to extricate the country from this shambles.
It's a plea for the right of the minority to be heard.
2,866,811 and counting.
