      That's representative democracy for you.

        And a reason why referendums should not be called unless parliament has already voted for something.

          The Conservative Party has quite a few. Perhaps if they hadn’t spaffed their majority up the wall they might have passed whatever form of Brexit they want to force upon you.

          Or, just perhaps, instead of going for a hard Brexit, they might have tried getting a few of those “moderate Remainers” onside by implementing the Brexit that the Leave side campaigned for and won on, instead of the version that they have now.

            That's undemocratic meddling for you.

              Exactly how?

              Actually quite funny seeing as he used to be an arch Eurosceptic, much like May was very pro-EU
              Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

                What leads you to that conclusion?

                Bojo is trying to scupper the Lib Dem vote by excluding students who are not likely to be in their university town on 12th Dec - that's how desperate he is.

                A cold snap on election day could well impact Tory/Brexit voters as the old stay indoors or head to the warmth of a local 'spoonies

                    They should apply for postal votes, or register in their home constituency. That's if they can be bothered...

                      This suggestion alone puts you as someone who is against democracy. Why should it be made more difficult and cumbersome? If I'm travelling home to Cambridge and studying in St Andrews I now have to register at my home address for a 2-3 week period?

                      The Quitings are desperate to overturn representative democracy with their blasted referenda.
