Government shutdown & no more taxes ??

PM faces Commons defeat which could shut down her government

We are turning into the USA. Probably what the swivel-eyed berks wanted in the first place.

Good to see parliamentary sovereignty being asserted against the executive.

We haven't got that yet though have we? If we have then I suggest that we might be wasting our time with this bollocks.

And we seriously allow these kn*b he*ads to sit in parliament. An mp not willing to vote in alignment with the way their constituents voted in the referendum is not truly capable of representing those constituents and should, ethically, resign their seat immediately and seek re-election in a by-election.

But have any of them actually got the back bone, or ethics, to take that course of action. I thought not.

So should the MP for North East Somerset vote to stay in the EU in alignment with the way his constituents voted?

You're describing something other than a representative democracy.

What SHOULD have happened is that there should never have been a referendum and the local politicians should have been elected based on their positions. A bit like a general election.

We did had one of those, albeit after the referendum, and it resulted in a hung parliament. So what should they do now????

If all MPs across all elected parties are supposed to do that, then why were all MPs not allowed to be part of the "negotiations"? Why were the negotiations purely based on a single party - and a party that didn't even manage to get 50% of all parliamentary seats?

You'd need to ask Old Greg.

Yep, we should never have been given an opportunity to vote to leave. But we were given that opportunity, weren't we?

The views of "remoaner" MPs was well known at the general election and they were elected. If the electorate had wanted no deal Brexit they would have elected UKIP MPs.

They didn't and in any case the referendum was advisory not binding and can be over turned if MPs so wish. Not a single UKIP MP was voted in. Virtually all the vocal Brexiteers are UKIP supporters, so we can ignore them.
