More details

The government has delayed on the Brexit decision for too long and requires additional motivation, the longer we wait without making any significant changes or decision the more both sides of the debate are pushed further towards their extremes on the political axes; we must in the interest of national unity enact some form of legitimate and meaningful policy as quickly as possible so that the people and the government can move on with 'business as usual' and look forward into the future.
