THERE'S no doubt Brexit is a major issue for voters going to the polls tomorrow.

At a hustings event in Kington last night, the North Herefordshire parliamentary candidates were asked what reassurances could be given that Brexit would not be the most divisive and expensive mistake ever made.

They were also asked - if a deal is reached with the EU, why should we not be allowed to either reaffirm our support for leaving the EU or decline the terms of the deal in favour of the EU?

Here are the responses:

Labour candidate Roger Page: "I can’t reassure anyone’s children or grandchildren on Brexit. I was a remainer and remain a remainer.

"I think the decision to leave the EU is a disaster - that’s my personal opinion - and I think that given that we had a referendum which was fairly close but went the wrong way for me there’s a reasonable argument to be had that when a deal – if a deal – is hammered out that deal should be put to the British people to decide.

"I don’t actually think at the moment the government have a clue what they are letting themselves in for."

Green Party candidate, Ellie Chowns: "I am also a remainer and campaigned very strongly last year. I was very, very disappointed with the result. I think it’s a very bad idea because it’s going to have devastating economic consequences and close down opportunities for our children."

One silver lining, she said, could be to look at the way money is used to support the agricultural sector. 

"I think that it’s only right that if and when the government reaches a deal it should come back to the people."

Conservative candidate Bill Wiggin: Said almost 60 per cent of Herefordshire voted to leave - showing other candidates were 'completely out of touch' with what constituents voted for.

"This Brexit negotiation has the potential to be bad but also to be fantastic. We need to grasp the positive side of this.

"The most stupid, ridiculous thing we could possibly do going into these negotiations is to say ‘if we don’t like it, the deal you offer us we will just stay in' and that’s what you’re being offered by my political opponents.

"Surely a partnership is positive for Brexit and positive for the EU."

Sasha Norris (Independent): Highlighted some of the EU regulations which have had a negative impact on wildlife, including a reduction in the number of turtle doves and hedgehogs.

“Wildlife makes people happy – a relationship with nature is the cornerstone of our wellbeing. It is not trivial.

“Maybe we can make the best representations and have a closer relationship with people that are making these decisions about how our country looks and how it’s run.”

Liberal Democrat Jeanie Falconer: "It is a disaster. I see absolutely nothing good about this.

"If I had any confidence whatsoever that the government knew what it was talking about, maybe I would have more confidence in what was going to happen.

"It seems to me that yes, we had a vote last year and a bare majority said we should leave but the fact of the matter is we have not had a vote on what Brexit should look like.

"If there is a deal we should be able to see what it will look like and we should be able to say we like it or we don’t and want to stay within the EU."
