Whitehall and Brussels are swimming with rumours of a second EU referendum.

I campaigned and voted for Leave in a good faith that the democratic process would be respected.

A second vote undermines this principle, and for that reason I have given up my confidence in UK democracy and shall not vote in the next referendum (or the one after if it goes the ‘wrong way’ again) nor a General Election until a party that pledges to restore democracy emerges.
