Re: Brexit

Irresponsible maybe but never unconstitutional (they can do no wrong, technically )

Re: Brexit

The constitution is whatever Parliament says it is. There is no written constitution for the U.K. Our “uncodified” constitution is the sum total of all the statute, precedent and common custom that has accumulated since the Norman invasion, any of which operates only until Parliament acts to change it.

We elect MP’s based on them acting in the best interests of their constituents not to blindly follow their constituents instructions.

The sovereignty of parliament it’s a wonderful thing

Those voting Brexit were keen to let us know they knew what they were voting for which included sovereignty. But when they see our sovereignty in action, some deem it treacherous.
A no-deal Brexit was rejected by the electorate at the last election when the only party advocating it, UKIP, was rejected by the People. These MPs are therefore carrying out the Will of the People.

Re: Brexit

The government we have is a result of the electoral system that is unfit for current political views.

Not really sure why a proper PR system is such a problem (AV was not in any way shape or form proportional)? Stable governments have PR where politicians actually have to listen to the electorate as their votes truly matter.

In 2017 the conservatives were just 141 votes away from a working majority (based on 322 seats being the target as Sinn Fein never sit).

Britain isn’t in a position to leave the EU under no deal terms and everyone deep down knows it. Cabinet, and the party, is on the verge of open rebellion.

Brexit supporters don’t seem very relaxed considering it’s “inevitable”.
The "constitutional crisis" is the making of anti-democratic behaviour of parliamentary Remainers who refuse to accept the Referendum result and use their disruptive powers at the legislative stage.

That is a total stretch made to fit a Remain argument.

As to your ridiculous "sovereignty" point, you know full well that the goal was post-Brexit sovereignty; the current "sovereignty" is circumscribed by the EU shackles we're still under and evidenced by the Withrawal Agreement.

Re: Brexit

MPs represent all their constituents, not just 52%, and so it's hardly as if this is easy for them. Governing a divided country isn't easy. Remember if No Deal is actually pretty bad it will be them who are held to account by the public and not the talking heads who think this is all so easy.

I fully understand that point. But collectively, and constitutionally, they have a higher duty to deliver the Brexit instruction.

I do accept that there has to be scope within that duty to mitigate a bad outcome. But the way that some of those wreckers are going about that is designed to defeat Brexit rather than improve the shambolic deal the TM has negotiated.

The referendum result was leave and not a no-deal. The electorate overwhelmingly rejected no-deal at the last election. Why do you have an issue with MPs carrying out the Will of the People? I sincerely hope it's not because you want no deal and wish to ignore the electorate's wishes?

Er sorry, where did you pluck that nonsense from ?

There was no such election pledges, vote for a specific party for no deal wasn’t on any cards.

No I’m not wrong, however actually.

They were elected to follow our instructions, we voted to leave the EU. Democracy is a wonderful thing, pity we have treacherous MPs not carrying out the will of the people, that will cause lasting damage to future Democratic processes because the electorate is currently being shafted.

They have no such higher duty. To assert so is simply a myth.

Well yeah, certainly some of them just want to disrupt it by any means possible.

Their duty is to safeguard the integrity & prosperity of this country and its citizens. Anything, and I mean anything, that compromises this duty can and should be challenged.

The comedy gold in all of this is the "take back control" and "sovereignty" babbling of the Leave campaign. I mean here is it folks: Parliament taking back control and asserting its sovereignty.

Don't you just love it ...
