1/ @stellacreasy proposed a Brexit citizens’ assembly for advice to Parliament from the public.
Here are some suggestions:
Here are some suggestions:
2/ All MPs need to adhere to their code of conduct. In particular, be honest and explain the trade offs that come with Brexit
3/ MPs should prioritise the UK’s geopolitical status and security
4/ MPs should maximise the UK’s wellbeing - the economy, the NHS and the environment
5/ All EU citizens in the UK should immediately be given permanent residence for free. They did not vote for this and they should not have less rights than when they moved here
6/ No deal should be taken off the table immediately. In practice that means if no deal is reached by say 1 March the UK must revoke article 50.
7/ MPs need fully investigate and explain the extent of any foreign interference in the referendum. That should be done before the UK leaves the EU
8/ Irrespective of Brexit the UK should set up an investment bank and prioritise infrastructure and regional regeneration
9/ All MPs should not hold any roles or receive pay for second jobs while an MP. If you are an MP that should be your sole focus.
10/ MPs need to focus on creating the best opportunities for young people in terms of education, wellbeing and opportunities.
