Why shouldn't there have been a referendum? Just because there were divisions in Scotland, does that mean a referendum shouldn't have been held? The Labour party isn't exactly united on the issue.


The backstop is an issue for more than just the DUP. It is the EU insisting on it. Why shouldn't the DUP object to it?
Whether Vince wanted a referendum or not is irrelevant to the fact one happened.

It’s only an issue for the DUP and those who want no deal anyway. If it wasn’t the backstop they’d find something else.
