Yes but the Caramel lovers are insisting on having a say in the ingredients of Nougat which funnily enough ends up tasting remarkably similar to caramel

But which electorate are we talking about, the 17 million who said leave or the 16 million who wanted to remain?
Brexit will happen but what Parliament will be doing is deciding what is best for the UK as a whole taking into the account not only the electorate who voted but the 12 million who did not and possibly the 18 million who could not. That is how a parliamentary system should work. The future direction of this country needs to take account of what is good for the entire country not just the 17 million who won.

Only MP's with a constituency that voted remain have any business voting against Brexit, but they do have a duty to represent all their constituents and that includes those who wished to remain.
The only problem for the fervent leaver is that Parliament may insist that we get another referendum on whether to accept the terms negotiated and leave, or refuse the deal and remain.
Of course, after the advice I received after the last referendum, I am sure they will happily accept a remain decision on a slim majority as the democratic will of the people, and quickly get over it, move on, accept it etc.

Good post.
There are a lot of those MP's that will be disappointed because of the money, and with 80% of the MP's in favour of Remain they are making it hard to follow the will and the vote of the people. Out of touch before the result and out of touch after i think.

But (in a moment of throwing my toys out of the pram) IF we Remain,then i personally at the cost of some Leavers (sorry) and at the cost of many Remain no doubt,we should be forced to enter the EURO,scrap the pound is what i say if the EU is so wonderful.
Also i want 500000 new people to enter the UK every year for the next 10 years as a commitment to humanity,build everywhere,spend like there is no tomorrow and say to hell with it.

You must accept that there are those who voted for nougat who prefer a soft centre as a hard endangers their teeth?

I'd go further and get rid of the house of Commons and the Queen too..

It's British made Nougat,ingredients sourced from the finest suppliers world wide,it actually strengthens teeth the more it's eaten.

Yes, I agree with every word of that.

And therein lies the risk of course. However I still have faith in the majority of politicians to recognize that they have been elected on a broader platform than merely cheerleading for the EU. Most of them on all sides have bigger issues for which to advocate.

I agree. A democracy can never have a binary outcome, it has to deliver a compromise that is inclusive. Ultimately of course electoral arithmetic will have an influence for those MPs that wish to keep their jobs on both sides of the debate. For this reason it may be much more difficult for Labour MPs in the north to undermine the result than those in the south.

Thanks. Yes, on balance, I do tend to agree, if only because some would not dare. Time will tell.

I just wish these high Court judges would have come out and ordered the electoral commission to inform, on the ballot paper,that this referendum was only advisory and that the final decision would be made by elected representatives.
I voted to leave the EU and knew that would mean saying goodbye to all the rules that came with membership.
I did not think we would win but we did and now feel let down that the politicians who voted overwhelmingly to allow this referendum did not have the courage to challenge this themselves other than on the BBC sofa.
They allowed a group of hedgefund managers and financial and legal boffins along with a couple of hairdressers who regretted their original vote, to derail and try to make some extra currency trading profit for their city chums.
The house has damaged itself far worse than when they claimed a few to many jolly perks on the taxpayer.
This whole episode has harmed us all and will lead to a real nasty piece of work appearing very soon to climb the political ladder, and I don't mean a pantomime dame like Farage. It will be much worse.
The end!
