OUT WITH A DEAL EATING OUR CAKE AND LOVING IT suck it up remoaners
And like a typical anti democracy remoaner he decided the will of the people should be ignored the minute the democratic result was in total fecking hypocrite 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Despite it being voted in to law by the commons the spineless two faced remoaner MPs have totally abandoned any morals and decided to ignore the will of the British people.
It will be remembered and no election or referendum will ever be the same again in this country.
The one thing that will come is a massive surge in the popularity of UKIP or a similar party in the future who stand for the 52%.
Happy Days.

Agree, but now some of them might need to actually support something rather than simply protest. This may or may not be in line with their constituencies.

It’s fair to point out that parliament has to find a way through this if it rejects May’s deal. But - parliament doesn’t have the power to negotiate itself, only the government does. So it’s the sole responsibility of the government to find something that commands a majority in parliament. May has known for months that her clusterf*ck of a deal won’t command that majority so why she’s still pushing it is beyond me.

Yes and there are the those MPs calling for a second vote, to leave without a deal and a whole load of them who don't seem clear about the way forward, Corbyn refused to be drawn on if Labour was in favour of Brexit by Andrew Marr today. They have to find a way forward but they are very factional and 75 percent of them supported remain. I don't think any of them are up to the job.

She knew that the only chance of her getting the deal through was by playing the chicken game. To successfully do that your threat needs to be credible and you can’t have pesky mechanics in the form of Parliamentarians continually fixing the car.

Parliament is there to implement the will of the people.
...and to act on behalf of the people when we are unable do so ourselves or we are unable to discern the pertinent facts and come to reasonable position. Which is why we don't get a say on the intricacies of law.
It is far better to grasp the universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring. - Carl Sagan

That's not democracy...democracy is done through the ballot box.

Yeah. Let’s have one I reckon.
Oh dear God no.
Even as someone who thinks this is stupid beyond belief, I’m not sure I could stomach another referendum.
My guess (worth precisely nothing), is May’s deal gets voted down, Corbyn does call a no confidence vote and loses, parliament get a cross party grip and bring forward a series of ‘deals’ to vote on, Article 50 is extended, some version of Norway plus plus plus gets agreed (in customs union whatever it’s called, in single market whatever it’s called, free movement whatever it’s called, we pay, no vote, we’ve left (technically), in a few years we get an ‘advisory vote’). We were never joining the Euro anyway, so we’re back where we would have been.

Exactly...something like a referendum.
So it’s OK for May to call a General Election when she wants but a referendum can’t be repeated, even though people now have a better idea of what Brexit is all about. How democratic is that?

The ‘will of the people’ was a fixed event. Never to be refreshed. That’s what it is now. Forever.

That only seems to be the case once a referendum changes the status quo.
In your argument, Scotland should never be allowed another independence referendum but undoubtedly they will. If Wales hadn’t foolishly voted for its own assembly, there would have been another one by now.
That said, I believe there is a valid reason for a re-ref as we are now in possession of facts not known at time and importantly the likely consequences of leaving / remaining. I’d abide 100% by the decision of a second referendum (well I’d have no choice but you know what I mean).

It’s not my view. I was being sarcastic.

Now where did I say that a referendum can't be repeated ? I couldn't give a toss how many there are, as they are pretty pointless as has been proven. Democracy in this country, if not already dead, is pretty damn close to being so.
