    I was speaking to folks back in the UK this week, some of whom voted remain, but they all want a no deal Brexit now, and they are angry at the traitorous behaviour of MPs who are trying everything they can think of to ignore the biggest vote in British history.

    It really is beyond me how folks on the losing side seek any argument to get their own way, simply ignoring democratic processes which have been established over hundreds of years. I believe that most of the British population feel this way (regardless of how they voted in the referendum) and a french style street protest movement (you know, the one that is huge and growing, but never gets reported in the press...) ignites.
    Poppycock!! The first referendum in the UK was held in the 1970's. Prior to that it was widely regarded as unconstitutional.

    Parliament is showing why we have a representative democracy.

    How is it representative when 52% of voters voted to leave the EU but roughly 500 out of 650 mps voted remain?

    it's to protect the people from their own stupidity, and from manipulation by populists like Boris and Nigel

    Ref can bypass that democracy protection, and obviously did with Brexit

    Democracy can self destruct without protection,

    so here we are, and soon England will be a battlefield for dictators and populists to share

    But, I understand why you want to forget or fudge the details of Nigel's loss, I mean how embarrassing, a party leader who cannot even win his own seat

    Ukip leader Nigel Farage resigns after losing South Thanet seat


    As the votes were read after a long night’s wait, Mr Farage's defeat was greeted with derisive cries of “Bye Nigel!”.

    If you think an entire EU country is going to throw the vote on behalf of Nigel, then you really must be in lalaland with your head up a unicorn's arse.

    This was all dealt with yesterday, you were shown yet again for about the 100th time to be lying and making stuff up, go back and read the posts if you can't remember as far back as yesterday. Your own post in your own words exposed how utterly clueless you are.

    Again already explained what needs to happen for the EU to veto an extension to A50 should one be asked for, if you.dont understand that's your problem.

    You've quoted the number of MPs in parliament not how many voted and you've over estimated how many voted remain.

    Again what is it with you and your inability to understand simple English? 52% voted leave and roughly 500 out of 650 mps voted remain? Can you highlight the words you don't understand?

    650 MPs didn't vote for starters, so how can it be 500 out of 650?

    Did you not understand this sentence:

    Roughly 500? Do you not know the actual number?

    While we all know you are thick as fuk and have an inability to understand simple English, we can also add to the list unable to follow conversations.

    Anyway still waiting for you to post the correct figures after telling me mine are wrong or guess as usual will just ignore that and move on to making stuff up and lying about something else, rinse and repeat.

    If you are you going to use numbers to support a point you want to make, it's up to you to make sure the numbers are accurate, instead of asking daddy to do it for you.

    My numbers are right, you're claiming they're wrong yet for some reason unable to show that and rather than admit that yet again you're wrong you just dribbling.

    The EU will crumble when the UK stops propping it up.

    That is whythe BBC, MPS and MEP are delaying,stalling and generally doing everything in their power to stop Brexit.

    That is an apple vs orange question.
    Your MP will represent you in hundreds of questions during his/her mandate period and picking only one of them and using it as a reference is very stupid , it tells me that you don't have the faintest idea of what representative democracy is.

    There are campaigns by the electorate all over the country to discover which way their MPs are voting and wether or not to vote them back in at the next election.

    Money talks and bullshit walks.

    Will your MP risk his gravy train on Brexit?

    The pressure is mounting on this shining light of a democracy and an inspiration to the free world
