Sir,

I believe that we are very fortunate to have as our Prime Minister Mrs. Theresa May. However, I must question, for a person who like myself was on the remain side, why she would speak so positive that Brexit meant Brexit at the conference.

I have to accept that the leave won the majority vote, but only by four per cent, with quite a large number of eligble voters choosing not to use their vote. The outcome has created more problems than it has solved. In 1976, the then Chancellor of the Exchequer, Denis Healey, turned back from the airport as a result of the falling pound, yet Mrs. May carried on speaking enthusiastically when the pound was falling at a faster rate, to its lowest in 31 years.

This was not the exit we were promised and voted for and I must pose the question: Trigger article 50 when the future looks darker than ever? We elect Members of Parliament to govern on our behalf and it is time that the result of the referendum and life after should be debated in Parliament and, if necessary, a further referendum should be called or a vote in Parliament.

Having said that, I believe that David Cameron got it wrong and, instead of calling a referendum which many of the electorate did not understand, he should have taken the initiative and called the leaders of the European nations together to discuss the way the EU is run, with the view to make amends.

There is much discontent within the EU and unless amendments are made, it could disintegrate in front of our eyes, with us all being losers. At the moment, the only losers will be Great Britain.

Sir Eric Howells,

Llanddewi Velfrey.
