It was a non-binding referendum as you keep reminding me yet MP's voted for May to start proceeding by invoking A50. Two successive PM's have wanted to follow the will of the people. As you should know by now - after all, it's been stated here more than enough - MPs are obliged to vote for what they believe to be in the best interests of the country. If the deal before them is not, in their opinion, in the best interests of the country, they are duty-bound to vote against it. |

This. 51% and 17 out of 65 million and 20% youth support does not werrl erf perperrl (a Nazi expression btw) make. |

I Just had a thought. If the EU want this to pass then shouldn't the EU think it's best to refuse an extension? If it was the deal or no deal surely it would pass.
Hopefully Boris is on the phone to them all to point this out. Doesn't matter which one vetos it so long as they do. They could even announce before midnight that no letter is needed as there will be no extension as they've reached a perfectly good deal.

Put the deal through nad piss off FAR YOUNGER FAR MORE NUMEROUS remainers. 1 million marchers v 20 people marching from Sunderland. 6 million petition vs 200k Brexshit one. Lolololol. I guess we should appease fascists and do everything to please them in the face of their threats unlike um ANY OTHER TIME IN HISTORY EXCEPT THE WEAKEST MOMENTS UNDER CHAMBERLAIN?! |

History will also judge those who frustrate the will of the people when two successive PM's even recognised the need to implement it. No, they won't. Historians aren't partisan, nor would they be so tunnel-visioned. The likely conclusion would be that it was a giant mistake to call the referendum in the first place. |

The will of the people has lost all meaning when half of the country doesn't want this. The will of the people would have been to negotiate a deal that at least resembled what was promised during the referendum. The most extreme version of Brexit is not the will of the people. |

Based on what is no more than a *claim* by Remainers? Based on statistics and experts. You should listen to them more than Tim who reads the daily mail x And can people stop quoting the troll trolling with that Nazi phrase please? Thanks. Werrl errf perperrrrel. |

Did you listen to Boris speaking at 9.40 am? He said it's a great deal. Jobs and industry will be protected. He has also promised that to worried MP's.

Good point! Seriously though, how many MP's are gonna put the country ahead of their jobs? Given what an unscrupulous bunch they are, not many I suspect! Judging by the article in her name in today's i, not Nicky Morgan. I'm not sure whether she actually read the article which was clearly written by Dominic Cummings. |

Based on what is no more than a *claim* by Remainers? The burden of proof should be on those wishing to make such a fundamental change. Yet we have seen no indications even remotely that any version of Brexit, much less anything like this current deal, will be an improvement, and prominent Brexiters have been silent on the matter or have made appeals to democracy instead of extolling the benefits of Brexit. If it were such a good proposition, surely some concrete economic signs would have emerged. In fact the opposite has happened. Weak pound, sub-par deals talked up by non-EU trading partners, all projections to being a sick man of Europe and plaything of the Americans. |
