UNITED KINGDOM HOUSE OF COMMONS - Brexit is a term used to describe the withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union. The United Kingdom European Union Membership Referendum was held on June 23, 2016, and 52.5% of the population voted to leave the EU.
The MP of South Staffordshire was quick to state that “Brexit was not a conservative victory”. Instead, it was the victory of the people: “We are not pro-Brexit, but (...) we are respecting the will of the people.” The Conservative Party won the last election with a majority government, and promises that “[they] are doing the best to guarantee the best service that [the British government] can provide”
The Leader of the Official Opposition was just as quick to respond, “Brexit [happened] because the Conservatives couldn’t handle [ruling the UK].” Especially in regards to the National Health Service, the Conservative Party “obviously has no care (...) people are rallying outside (...) nurses are understaffed (...) people have to wait six months for surgery.” The Conservatives established the NHS, and they have a responsibility to make it a success. If they can’t make a health program benefit the people, who are they to govern the United Kingdom? “I want to be the leader because I want to keep you guys in line. We are sitting here because we garnered 29% of the votes. Just because we didn’t win the election [last time] doesn’t mean we won’t win [the next one].”
But the Conservative party wasn’t to be so easily defeated, with the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs standing up, “The Labour Party is failing. The people of Britain [do not] like the Labour Party. (...) The Labour Party doesn’t even trust the leadership of their leader!” The Lord President of the Council agreed, “we took in the last British election [with a] majority government, but the Liberal party thinks [that] they would be [the] better governing party.” He mentioned the increased taxes that the Labour Party proposed in their campaign, calling them “higher taxes to fund social experiments”. He questioned the Labour Party, doubting that the citizens of the United Kingdom would vote for a government that supported higher taxes.
The Deputy Leader of the Official Opposition came up with a prominent point “we have to take care of our own house before we take call of our streets”. Discussion about Brexit cannot be truly completed until the House of Commons settles its disputes and starts working together.
