You mean the bad loser, 'people's vote' Remoaners?

Pipe down.

The reality is that you want your own way at all costs.

I suppose it has not evaded your attention that the mood music is shifting and a 'People's Vote' is looking increasingly likely.

Perhaps it would be wise to be more moderate in your language. Winners and losers is not a real concept here. Maybe you can achieve elements of your main desires without a Brexit. Or maybe those that voted Remain can keep the things that are most important to them with a version of Brexit that protects the economy - at least during the medium term (perhaps 10 to 20 years) adjustment period. In fact didn't Rees Mogg say 50 years?

I have been meaning to ask the following

My understanding is that the overwhelming majority of MPs voted Remain

Yet one of the biggest reasons cited for Brexit has always been returning control to Parliament.

How does this square away? Why do MPs vote for something that apparently is against their personal interests?

Maybe they are all simply lazy and want to abrogate their responsibilities, passing them to another authority.

The majority voted to leave. All else is skullduggery.

Skullduggery? In British politics?

How dare you sir! Why, the very idea!

I understand that some people will try anything to derail Brexit, inside and outside Parliament.
I just wish they would stop trying to rationalise it.

If they are fooling themselves, they certainly aren't fooling anyone else.

I advocated that a coupe of weeks ago, it seems the politicians can't resolve the issue so we need to go back to the people.

I must say never heard any politician call the medium term anything but next week before; but 50 years! JRM must think us morons.

anyway, if the people are so ready to leave the EU, then the frothing Brexiteers have nothing to worry about.

It is absolutely true that if it is the will of the people to leave, a vote would merely solidify that intention

It therefore feels invidious of those who object to it to refuse a final say on the deal.

It's almost as though those advocating leaving feel that in reality it isn't the wish of the majority and they somehow managed to sneak through a vote against the wishes of the people.

Well exactly, remainers are not anti democracy, they just want democracy from being in an informed and educated position. Why wouldn't you?

Yawn.

As I said. You aren't fooling anybody... except maybe yourself.

We all know what you're about.
