Indeed I do, and as with your party, they were elected on coming out of the European Union. Yet now you try and have another vote. You promised you were going to respect the referendum. You said in that manifesto that we would be leaving the European Union, yet now, your MPs in the House of Commons—or too many of them, alas—try and block what they promised they were going to deliver at that referendum, following that referendum, and at the general election. And it is that that is eating away at our democracy, eating away at our country. If we have this motion, and if we say that we will never leave except as the European Union tells us, then that will be an abnegation of democracy, of a referendum that is yet to be implemented, and it is not acceptable—not acceptable to Wales, and not acceptable to the United Kingdom.
