Penistone999 Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 Incorrect. It has been stated many many many times, the referendum result was not binding. Parliament can overrule it or ignore it without issue. Which , of course would be political suicide . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ez8004 Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 Think you would find the issue would be political suicide woop already said sorry Penistone Political suicide for who exactly? If Yorkshire's Labour MPs voted to Remain in Parliament, would you believe people would suddenly decide to vote for the Tories? Interesting.... Would you punish an MP for voting Remain if his/her party applies the whip? It is not clear cut by a long way. Not to mention, this court ruling does bring up an interesting scenario in that new legislation that applies to Scotland requires Royal Assent.

I1L2T3 Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 The Tories are nailed on to win an election anyway due to their being no opposition. How would the Tories even fight if without tearing their party to shreds? They would have to have a coherent manifesto and like it or not the party is still split right in half by Europe and that would make forming a manifesto they all agreed on near impossible.

ez8004 Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 who do they work for their constituents or the labour party Technically neither. The MPs represent their constituents. The MPs still have the fundamental right to vote in good conscience for what they believe is for the greater good of the nation. If their opinions disagree with you yours then it is what it is. A lot of you need to understand what parliamentary sovereignty actually means because the majority of the comments here so far shows that you have no clue.

Its not what it is, in this case if it is blocked and May calls for a GE, a lot of MP will see who they work for Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
