EU solidarity letter

As a British-born UK citizen and resident I voted Remain and despite result continue to remain a European. Any barriers to freedom of movement, communication and collaboration are antipathetic to the humanist cause.

Senior Lecturer, Birkbeck College, University of London. I voted firmly and enthusiastically to remain in the EU.

Brilliant thanks our EU fiends

I teach university students, a number of whom have come to study from outside the UK. UK and non-UK have very similar outlooks and do not share the xenophobia unleashed by the Leave campaign. However the narrow Leave vote seriously threatens UK students' future. Needless to say I voted Remain.

British citizen, voted Remain. (Child of a refugee; spouse of an immigrant: here's to free movement!)

I believe in Europe and equality and justice

I voted remain and am still in shock at how the party leaders have all behaved so badly and left the ship to sink. They set this country to implode and walk away without clearing up the mess. I am appalled by all of the hate crime, I want to see this acted on fast and stopped.

I think this letter is excellent. It could also make the point that Parliament slipped up in not considering more deeply the terms of the EURA which regulated the referendum rules.

I was eligible to vote and voted remain.

Britain is a representative democracy in which Parliament is sovereign. There are many other factors for Parliament to take into account in acting -- or not acting -- upon our EU membership than an advisory referendum.

As a UK naturalised citizen (and registered voter) with Argentinian and Spanish heritage which has been living in this country for more than 16 years, I find extremely distressing the current situation following the referendum. Unfortunately our political leaders appeared to be unable to enhance the level of the debate and communicate clear facts to the general public about the benefits of been part of the European Union, not only for us but also for the future generations.

In view of the widespread misinformation from all sides that sullied the referendum campaign, and the nebulous nature of the leave campaign's agenda, the government has a democratic duty to ensure that before any irrevocable decision is taken, the proposed course of action should clearly spelled out and the people given an opportunity to vote on whether to leave the EU on such terms or to retain the status quo.
