Answer:

A reply.

Explanation:

As a member of the British Parliament, I feel free to reply this letter in a public way due to the fact that the situation we live in is of such transparency that it requires a response and every citizen need to know the situation we have just lived.

My letter wants to contribute to reaching answers to questions from citizens which are what the majority of society asks for and what is expected in europe who does not understand another way to resolve conflicts, that does not go through dialogue, negotiation and agreement.

The priority of this government is to seek with all intensity the path of dialogue. We want to talk as as consolidated democracies do on the problems that concern the majority of the people. This country wants to embark on an independent path within the European framework.
