How did you vote?

Essex, what if Boris refused to press the button, playing for time, and in that time, a Remain leaving Government was voted in? the referendum result wouldnt stand as its technically 'advisory'

I could be barking mad :innocent

DC announced today in his statement to the House that we will be leaving the EU.

 

[Sidewinder]

What has he got to say about it, he hasn't got the balls to do it, so he's resigned and left it to someone else to commit political suicide.

Personally I think MPs that constituents voted to leave will also vote to leave.  MPs who's constituents voted to stay will vote to stay.  This will mean a majority 'Out' vote in the HoP will happen.  If any MP voted the opposite way to the way the people who voted for them will not be an MP at the next GE.  

how will this give the out camp a majority, as all the votes were counted then lumped together, so a constitute could have a large majority to stay(2,000 to stay 1,000 to leave ) and an other a small majority to stay(50,001 to 50,000),and a third with a large leave (70,000 to 1,000) so that now is a large leave vote of  121,000 to stay 53,001, but in your world it would be 2 to 1 to stay Hope you are still awake after this post , and have not lost the will to live, :signthankspin:

I find it amazing that we all suddenly become politicians.

I am more of an historian than a politician, I remember things that people do and say and then without any amazement from myself retract under the lapse of time that they expect us uneducated northern brutes to forget.

The true joke if you can call it that is Nicola Sturgeon, she will not call another referendum on independence simply because she does not know that she would win. The turnout from Scotland was one of the lowest, you have to ask why? Well it was a loaded vote, if the working classes of Scotland voted with the UK (England) they would by default be supporting Westminster and that would leave a bitter taste in the mouths of the working classes of Scotland that have been ignored for so long by Westminster. They decided to stay at home, and the result was that the people that did turn out were probably relatives of Nicola Sturgeon.

There is a petition now with over 3 million signatures for another referendum, that is how sore the losers are. However another petition could be started to oppose the original and then we would be back at square one.

We are, or will be out of the EU. If we are not, then this country will only be regarded as a non democratic and therefore dictatorship country.

No political party would take that chance.

If the desicion to invoke Article 50 has to be taken by a House of Commons vote then this is a 1 vote for 1 MP thing.

surely EVERY MP should vote to leave,

as that is the will of the majority of the population, and the MPs are supposed to be our servants.

But they are voted in by their constituents. If the constituents that voted you in voted 60/40 to remain and you are there to serve them why would you vote out?  You are then not serving your constituents?  

 

[Sidewinder]

Since when do MP's serve their constituents?

[Sidewinder]

Since when did that stop them from doing what they want?

 

[Sidewinder]

That is what MP's do these days, they don't serve their electorate, they are only self-serving, didn't you know?

It also goes all the way to the top of the EU etc.

Trouble is we'd need a foreigner to do that as they never get caught!

I think they persuaded Guido that, but, let him down, to such an extent they made 4 of him! ;(

Sounds about right for the English TBH.

Sore losers!

Call me a nutter but suspect it is a tongue in cheek poke at the petition to hold another EU referendum.

In that case you'd better start getting some signatures.
