Lockdoctor Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 Isn't that asking some MPs them to do two conflicting things at once though?? Afterall they are elected to represent their constituents and their wishes in parliament. If those same people mostly voted remain then should the MP represent the wishes of their constituents or the wishes of the referendums national majority? The referendum vote was nothing to do with the opinions or votes of individual constituents, but was a vote by the whole of the UK. Every constituent will have people who voted to leave the EU. A MPs duty should be to ensure those people wishes in their constituency, who voted to leave, which was the winner of the referendum vote are respected. To answer your question the views of the national majority should be supported rather than the views of individual constituencies . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magilla Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 This is the conservative governments fault and would have resulted in the same mess without remainers lifting a finger, remainers accepting the result wouldn't have changed anything. They're getting their excuses in early. 6 months after a no-deal they'll all claim they voted remain (in public, at least) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And every constituency will have people who votes to stay...in a lot of constituencies the majority voted remain..shouldn't their MP be representing their wishes instead of joining in with the lemmings?

Cyclone Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 All MPs regardless of which party they represent or which way they personally voted in the referendum, should respect the decision the democratic UK people made and support the UK completely leaving the EU. Surely they should (if they were to simply follow voters orders) represent the will of their constituency. We have a representative for each area, not a single body for the country. Of course most aren't doing that, many areas voted remain but the MPs are supporting leaving. And of course it's a REPRESENTATIVE democracy, not a direct one. ---------- Post added 09-07-2018 at 18:10 ---------- The referendum vote was nothing to do with the opinions or votes of individual constituents, but was a vote by the whole of the UK.

Well, you've managed to entirely turn constituency based voting on its head, in favour of MPs voting to leave, despite you professing to have voted stay. Personally I don't think you did that.

Car Boot Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 Remainer Prime Minister tells us we must have a 'soft' Brexit? No! Give the people what they voted for! Leave the EU! Out of the single market! End freedom of movement! No kangaroo European Court of Justice! No to the UK becoming a vassal state of Germany and France! Deliver the will of the people and deliver it NOW.

Bob Arctor Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 Be interesting to see exactly how much of the Tory party is left when the wheels finally come off. The level of in-fighting is good but still not good enough. If they reach the point of physically fighting each other I'll be fairly satisfied, but I'll only really settle for them murdering each other, and then only if I get to watch.
