Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!

Lammy has called for the Labour leadership to back a People's Vote regarding brexit. If a 'vote' does go ahead it's unclear what the questions/options would be at the moment, whether 2 options are given or 3.

Possible options are;

* the brexit deal, if there is one
* no deal
* stay in the EU

Time needed to ratify, organise and campaign for such a 'vote' would take around 10 months according to constitutional experts so, Article 50/29th March would have to be delayed, if possible.

Possibly a stupid question but what does the council supporting this actually mean in practice? 

Hi Spiderman

not a stupid question at all!

The council supporting does three things really

 By supporting as a majority Labour group it means that they will be able to lobby their Leader Mr Corbyn and ask him to fully commit to supporting this

Haringey voted remain, our residents have the right to have their views represented, both sitting MPs here support a peoples vote it is right that we as a council should to.

We are rightly proud of the diversity that we have in our borough, we have many EU citizens living and working here. Sadly there are many who do not feel safe, welcomed and wanted as a result of this vote. It would send a powerful message to all of our EU residents to let them know that Haringey supports and values them.

hope that answers your question, but do let me know if it hasn't!

very best wishes

Tammy

All the people who support a People's Vote are Remainers who reject the will of the people and the result of the Referendum. 

If there is a People's Vote, I think we should have another one a year later and then another one a year after that. Then we will always know each year what the People think even though it will cost millions to hold the national elections.
