In my experience most of the "morons" who voted remain don't know the first thing about the EU, it's institutions or the personalities involved.

I've met and seen enough to draw my conclusion that a lot of them are just plain stupid. Equally a lot of them are very intelligent, tricky to put an exact number on how many. Not to say that everyone who voted remain is exactly blessed in the braincell department either.

I guess my over-riding point is the there a f*cking loads of stupid people knocking about and maybe if there weren't so many the would wouldn't be in such a mess.

Interesting to see that list of Labour MPs who voted against. Many are London constituencies, London voting overwhelmingly for remain. My MP (Andy Slaughter, who is incidentally a very nice guy, although I didn't vote for him) will have no backlash for voting against for example as H&F voted remain in huge numbers. Same for the Cardiff MP, Manchester and so on.

Seeing that list, it seems that those MPs did largely vote the way their constituents wanted, so not quite sure why the Mail et al, are trying to paint them as traitors to their voters? Only works one way for Mr Dacre it seems.

If parliament wanted to reflect the views of the people, 48% of them would have voted against the bill last night. It was nowhere near that.

If Parliament wanted to reflect the views of the people, Clase, hanging would be brought back, we'd have no immigration to speak of, Pullman coaches would be re-introduced on a renationalised British Rail and there would still be designated bars where you could have a fag in peace when its pouring down!

looking at the list of Mps who voted against.

You have to say only the Scottish Mps fully represented their constituents. With one exception

Scotland voted remain
every Scottish region voted remain.
every Scottish MP (SNP, labour, lib dem, independents) voted against A50, except one - David Mundell _ the only Tory MP in Scotland.

Time the scots took back control.

I agree, which is why we have a parliamentary democracy and that referenda are a spectacularly bad idea. Especially when they're only held to lance an internal Tory party boil and to try to halt the rise of UKIP. Neither of which worked. Ho hum. We're stuck with it now.

So as I said last night,big repercussions for Labour and Corbyn over the vote.


"Labour was in turmoil today as Jeremy Corbyn postponed the decision on whether to sack 10 shadow ministers who rebelled over Brexit.

The Labour leader and chief whip Nick Brown will wait at least a week before deciding if there will be reprisals over last night’s vote to trigger Article 50.

Of the 47 Labour rebels, 20 are London MPs, with seven working as shadow ministers. Whip Vicky Foxcroft, who is supposed to enforce party discipline, is also among those who rebelled.

Shadow chancellor John McDonnell said only those in the shadow cabinet who defied Jeremy Corbyn’s instructions would have to quit immediately."

Yeah that's not what you said last night. You actually said that Labour would lose 20 MPs, mostly Welsh. Cos you don't understand the difference between between being a shadow minister and an MP.

If the caller was Robbie Savage, it'd be a close run thing.

I've been known to throw things at the TV when Jason Mohammed is on though, so on balance, it'd still be him. Ruined the Olympic coverage having that prat on.

Had a few but the gist was troubled times for Corbyn and Labour...not good for the party,more chaos ahead..

May I add I said about 20 nationally not Wales only would lose their positions through sackings and resignations,

Albeit their ministerial positions so if that takes place this week the figure will be about right.

I understand the reasons why the rebel MPs voted as they did, but I disagree with them doing it.

Regardless of how their individual constituencies voted, the referendum asked a constituency of ALL of Great Britain, and I believe that Labour will lose credibility if some MPs continue to go against the referendum result.

Was the referendum advisory? Yes. But because of the low information and wilfully ignorant electorate, the nuances of a the legislative process is lost on most people. Consequently, for all intents and purposes, the referendum was mandatory.

Therefore, the left-leaning parties need to make sure they aren't seen as the "enemies" of the working class (who tended to vote Brexit).

I would suggest its already the case that most 'working' Labour voters view many of the left's hobby-horses as a comedic freak-show.

They'll get a nasty shock if they believe that UKIP adequately represents the views of 'working' people. Sadly, they won't care until it's too late.

Disastrous state of U.K. politics at present. The irony of Corbyn causing a mass shift to the right is seemingly lost on him and his cronies.

Would be interesting to figure out how 48% of one MP could vote against, while the other 52% could vote for, as you know that both votes were counted towards the result, in respective authorities.

Or maybe they should grow a set and realise that the democratic will of the majority over ride their own agendas, fat chance though.

The ones in RCT stand out, slightly concerning considering all three associated with the area, went against the will of their constituents and voted against, for their own good of course.

As I take the political temperature in work on a regualr basis I get the distinct impression an increasing amount of working folk are arriving at the conclusion that nobody represents them.

'No-one likes them'..... but they DO care.
