Penistone999 Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 Change of post direction, slightly. Should all the remoaning remaining MP's whose constituency's voted to leave the corrupt EU (aka Anna Soubry, remoaner in chief) be deselected. They are not representing their constituents wishes, which they were elected to do, yes/no. If we have discussed this before, apologies. Angel1. I have this exact situation with my MP , Angela Smith. She is a remoaner , yet her constituency voted leave. In my opinion she should resign because she is going against the wishes of the very people who voted her in .

They've already been re-elected since the referendum result when their positions on brexit were known to their constituents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But surely she should vote to try and help everyone, as best as she sees fit - that's what the whole sovereignty thing is about isn't? If you just want to run a country to help the winners and sod the losers you might as well run the country like x-factor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't have have your chance to vote her out at the last GE? Don't like democracy eh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hackey lad Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 Actually some did, (about 25%) but the vast majority didn't. Stop playing with numbers . Of the 100% that bothered to vote , 52% voted to leave , 48% voted to remain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no requirement for a Member of Parliament to represent their constituents' wishes. Someone standing for election says what they stand for, and the people vote. If that person fails to deliver, then voters can vote for someone else next time. Same if the person does deliver what they ssid they would, the people can still vote for someone else next time. Anyone who doesn't like their MP's virw on brexit is free to vote for someone else at the next election Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Top Cats Hat Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 Stop playing with numbers . Of the 100% that bothered to vote , 52% voted to leave , 48% voted to remain Not playing with numbers at all. I was replying to a poster who claimed that 'the British people voted to LEAVE by pointing out that the majority of British people DID NOT vote to leave. Like it or not that is the most important factor in this whole debate. The government is trying to push through a policy that is not supported by the majority of people in Britain. This is a fact that you can't ignore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a fact that you can't ignore. Not ignoring anything but if the majority of remain voters couldn't be bothered to vote , that's why we are here now . Maybe if it was a full turnout at the polls the leave voters would've won by more than 52% . May be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ez8004 Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 (edited) Really? No one noticed? Not even debated! https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/brexit-latest-eu-uk-no-deal-ministers-amendment-customs-union-a8397701.html Customs union it is then. For those who want to read the important bit; Labour’s shadow Brexit secretary Sir Keir Starmer said: “If maximum facilitation does involve infrastructure checks or controls, it would be unlawful under the provision passed yesterday, therefore it cannot happen. “The only answer to no hard border in Northern Ireland in the end is a customs union and high levels of market alignment, the fact that was accepted by the government and turned into domestic law gives it a status it didn’t have until yesterday.” It is now enshined into law. So we'll have a customs union which will also mean the free movement of people as you can't have one without the other. However, no say into the running of the EU. If this isn't the beginning of the end of Brexit I don't know what is. The scenario that is now slowing becoming a reality is that we will be worse off than we are. Waiting for Article 50 to be revoked now. Edited June 13, 2018 by ez8004 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I1L2T3 Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 To reverse brexit would be a total betrayal of the people. I don't want to move further away from the Eu and I'm pretty sure most people don't either. I voted to remain but now I just want to trade with the Eu fairly and the rest of the world as well. It depends at the point where such a decision was made whether there was democratic support for it. That would not be betrayal. That would be democracy in action. ---------- Post added 14-06-2018 at 01:00 ---------- Change of post direction, slightly.

They are not delegates, they are MPs entrusted with doing what is best for their constituents. That is how it works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
