The country's future is in peril.
On either side of the isle are two dogmatic forces pulling the UK to their extreme, one arguing for a potential economic catastrophe, the other a disaster of democracy.
With March 29 just two months away there is only one route that can save the country - Theresa May's deal.
Below are ten reasons why Oliver Dowden should get behind the prime minister.
- It’s what the people voted for – we are leaving the EU
- It protects jobs and the economy
- We have time to find an agreement to preserve peace in Northern Ireland
- If an agreement is struck over the Irish border, the UK will once again have control over who comes into the country
- A common rulebook will be maintained, allowing us to trade with our closest partners
- Workers’ rights and the environment will still be protected, with the deal committing the UK to maintain the EU's social, environmental and labour regulations
- The UK will no longer send billions to the EU each year
- Once out of the Customs Union, the UK will be able to strike independent trade deals with countries outside the EU
- The deal is the only option able to bring political stability and calm to a country divided more than any time in living memory
- EU citizens living in the UK would avoid the uncertainty of a no deal Brexit
