You are a salesman's dream, you would sign up to anything with 'leave' on it.

Even if it is actually the opposite.

European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018.

Parliament passed it and parliament can rescind it.

Just like any other law.

Which is entirely understandable. How else should you think?

But our democracy doesn't belong exclusively to the 17m. It's also my democracy and that of the other 16m that has been trashed. Trashed by a Prime Minister who called a referendum in what he believed was the interests of his party. Lied about his intentions to honour the result. Failed to prepare in anyway for a leave win and then walked.

There are plenty that need to be strung up but the first must be David William Donald Cameron. He has held us all in utter contempt.

Which might mean a Labour government. God help us.

I don't disagree but the reality is that a failure to uphold the vote by us departing the EU is the actual nub of this. I get all your ire aimed at Cameron and the Tory party but really that is froth and can be dismissed as the usual to'ing and fro'ing of the political discourse.

What we are seeing at the moment in Parliament and in particular the events of today goes far beyond that. At least the desire for betrayal is effectively out in the open and Bercow has destroyed any notion of the Speakers role being impartial so whatever the outcome Parliament will have been lessened.

You know full well that the vote was never likely to be upheld. If it had been an exercise in direct democracy then fair enough. But it wasn't. It was an exercise in the tories hanging onto power by misleading the British electorate. And now you want to call the actual betrayal froth and blame Bercow? He didn't tell anyone that he'd honour the result of the referendum and he's under no obligation to do so.

Why should anyone now believe that their vote means something?

No I never. I went along on June 23rd and voted in good faith. Why on earth would I have thought any different?

The European Union Referendum Act 2015 passed by 544 votes to 53 - so Parliament was pro referendum by a huge majority.

In other words Matov, Stevie Boy thinks you & I and 17M others are Dimwits. I agree with you Re the vote we did it in good faith. They Lost & don't like It. Patronising BS from them all or certainly most of them.
