division_name: Leaving the Eu: Negotiations
motion: <p class="indent" pid="b880.1/2" pwmotiontext="yes">That this House believes that the Government&#8217;s negotiations to leave the EU have not progressed to the satisfaction of the people of the UK, with polls indicating that 69 per cent of the people now believe the exit process is going badly; calls on the Government to engage in cross-party discussions with a view to establishing a government of national unity; and further believes that the people of the UK should have the final say on the UK&#8217;s relationship with the EU through a people&#8217;s vote on the deal.</p>
  
  <p class="indent" pid="b881.2/3" pwmotiontext="yes">&#8220;the worst of all worlds&#8221;.</p>
  
  <p class="indent" pid="b881.3/2" pwmotiontext="yes">&#8220;It&#8217;s been over thirty years since the British people last had a vote on Britain&#8217;s membership of the European Union&#8230;Whether you agree with Europe or not, it is vital that you and the British people have your say in a real EU referendum.&#8221;</p>
  
  <p class="indent" pid="b886.2/3" pwmotiontext="yes">&#8220;This House and this Parliament gave the British people the vote.

  <p class="indent" pid="b891.2/3" pwmotiontext="yes">&#8220;The public have voted and I do think it&#8217;s seriously disrespectful and politically utterly counterproductive to say &#8216;Sorry guys, you&#8217;ve got it wrong, we&#8217;re going to try again&#8217;.&#8221;</p>

  <p class="indent" pid="b914.7/3" pwmotiontext="yes">&#8220;We are beside ourselves with how this government is behaving: squabbling in its ranks, only interested in keeping their own nests feathered, telling outright lies to those who voted for Brexit&#8230;Why are MPs in the in the Labour party not following their own consciences and voting for what they really believe?&#8221;</p>
  
  <p class="indent" pid="b914.7/6" pwmotiontext="yes">&#8220;How, now two years post referendum, do the government have no plan to implement and it scares me more than anything else. Even though every expert opinion is that it will damage the country, including the governments own experts, they are still ploughing ahead with it seems the full support of the Labour party&#8230;Please continue to fight this crazy act of self-harm the government is proposing with everything you can.&#8221;</p>

  <p class="indent" pid="b914.7/13" pwmotiontext="yes">&#8220;We need to ensure a stable workforce with labour from other EU member states and all sectors of horticulture and flower growing, harvesting etc in the UK. We have to question the UK&#8217;s capability in terms of infrastructure and resources at points of entry to handle the level of import controls. A longer wait at the  border could bring a disadvantage to flower imports in future as it could impact on quality or vase life. Flowers could end up more expensive.&#8221;</p>
