Why didnt they then? Really did expect Macron to veto the extension, the EU cannot move on otherwise, the UK still has a veto and is really only there to be a complete pain in the arse. The EU has trading deals coming out of its ears, if the UK wants a trade deal they can try for one but it is not desperate. Revoking is the only power left to the UK, the EU cannot legally refuse. Why are they still just about at the table, well they will be aware that remain is polling stronger than leave but it is disjointed.

MPS are not elected to represent Parties.They are elected to represent constituencies and ALL t heir constituents. For the umpteenth time we don't send delegates to Parliament. We send representatives. so those MPs whos constituencies voted out should therefore respect that vote? If they truly represent their constituents? Sour Soubry and many others are not doing so, the woman is a lying bitch who should be voted out at the next election

Steely you must be one of only few in the country who was actually surprised that Macron didn't veto the extension. What else are you surprised about? The sun coming up in the morning perhaps? Did Epstein's 'suicide' make you fall out of bed? Edited by Stirlingsays (30 Aug 2019 3.39pm)

Its definitely a sad state of affairs but the genie has escaped the bottle, the horse has bolted etc etc... Remaining now would be like slagging off your ex for 3 years after telling them you want a divorce, and then expecting them to have you back and everything be hunkydory.... The best thing for us all, now and in the long term is to pry the kids fingers from their comfort blanket before moving forward...only then can the healing start.

It'll be even weirder when we catch up to the actual year.

You are the only one that thinks you are right !!! That's just untrue. Here among this particular group of anti EU hardliners, who clearly don't have any real understanding of how the British system works, that might be true but even then I doubt it. Some may but hide behind their entrenched prejudices. Out in the real world ask almost anyone who has a real knowledge of politics and they will confirm exactly what I have said.

They AREN'T delegates!

Maybe, to some, but it doesn't stop me being right does it? That many here don't understand that we don't have a direct democracy in the UK but a Parliamentary one, is just very sad. It isn't though my fault. You seem to conflate facts and opinion as fact.
