So you have Leave MPs representing constituencies that voted Remain. No one seems to hang them out to dry.
Sorry Angua, but that is a completely crass argument. If MPs are elected on a manifesto commitment, they should not actively work on trying to overturn that commitment.

Your view of things would mean that the electorate would not be able to judge which party to elect on the basis of their manifestos. That would be ridiculous.
