Amendment 7 - The EU Withdrawal Bill
The UK parliament has recently been debating amendments to the EU Withdrawal Bill which could shape the future of the UK and the EU.
Amendment 7 to that bill, proposed by Conservative MP Dominic Grieve is widely supported by other MPs. Amendment 7 aims to give the UK Parliament a proper vote on whatever final Brexit deal is proposed.
UK Members of Parliament (MPs) can ensure, if they vote for Amendment 7, that they are given the chance to fully scrutinise whatever agreement the government makes with Brussels before the UK leaves the EU
The British people did not vote to leave the Customs Union or the Single Market, yet the UK Conservative Government is pursuing that hard or "Mad Brexit" agenda, so MPs should have the right to reject or soften the plan (or choose to remain in Europe) if that is the only way to get the economic security or "Sensible Brexit" that the majority obviously voted for.

Parliament can't just ignore the 63% who didn't vote Brexit. Can they?.
On a turnout of 72% of electorate, 51.9% voted out, 48.1% voted in. that means that only 37% wanted Brexit.
MPs should represent the 63%
