Radan   10 #193 Posted July 2, 2016 If that does happen, it makes a mockery of democracy and the parliamentary system?  Why? The referendum is only to gauge the public mood about leaving the EU.  They could gauge the public mood about the death penalty and probably find a majority in favour, especially if a child has just been killed for example. Does that mean they should bow to public opinion?  MPs are paid to act on our behalf. If they think staying in the EU is better for the UK then that is a choice they can make and you cant stop them.  But this is for the other thread.

Does that mean they should bow to public opinion? Yes, hang them.  MPs are paid to act on our behalf. If they think staying in the EU is better for the UK then that is a choice they can make and you cant stop them. If they think on mass that its better to stop in the EU, why ask the electorate? Its doomed get out now and make the necessary changes, before it implodes anyway. But this is for the other thread.[/QUOT Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Nigel Farage claims its his doing but it's not really.  Do keep up, this is Day 1 stuff! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

*_ash_*   87 #202 Posted July 3, 2016 How is it ironic exactly? We don't all say Brexiters are racists. I don't think that.  We?  You speak for the people do you?  Come on, you don't think that?  Us and them us and them ... the only people causing any division since the 24th are remainers.
