When you vote in #GE2019 , vote to get Brexit done RIGHT, not simply to get it done.

None of the parties' plans will make Brexit stop being an issue, so it's vital you make your voice heard on which kind of More of This Kind of Thing you get

1/

What you've been hearing about for the past couple of years is only one part of 'Brexit'; the leaving-the-EU part

We still have to do the other part; the setting-up-a-new-relationship-with-the-EU bit

And that's much more complicated

2/

I've put together some points here, but the general message is "if you thought it was bad so far, you're really not going to like the next phase"

3/

That's partly because the agenda will be very much bigger, partly because no-one's really settled on what they want and partly because more people get to have a veto on making a decision

4/

In this election, parties are all offering you a message that they'll get things moving along.

And they will

But only into that next phase. No-one can avoid it

5/

The only choices in this current phase are:
- leave the EU with a deal on the terms of leaving (which the Tories will do, and Labour should a #PeoplesVote want that)
- leave the EU without a deal (Brexit Party)
- not leave (LibDems, and Labour after #PeoplesVote)

6/

So whichever government that might likely emerge from #GE2019 you'll be getting movement, but towards very different endpoints

7/

That's why when you vote you should think not simply about how you can get this out of your hair, but how you want it to end up

So your slogan should be "get Brexit done right"

8/

If you've learnt one thing from the past few years of British politics, I hope it's that complex problems don't have simple solutions, so always question those that offer them to you

9/

And most importantly, make sure you vote

Lots of other people are going to, and they probably aren't thinking about what you want

So make your voice heard and make it count
