How much has this pointless charade cost us? We pay Gina's costs too now I guess?
Surely no MP can vote against in Parliament, the public voted for Brexit - bloody well get on with it!
This is what is so pointless about it, Labour Party policy is to support the Government. Yes a few will rebel and vote against but its gesture politics. JC has already committed labour to support, so it will pass in the commons - I think it is the Lords that will be the tricky part Surely no MP can vote against in Parliament, the public voted for Brexit - bloody well get on with it!

Good verdict based upon many of the Brexit plans were not made clear to the electorate before the referendum. Now at least there is some form of scrutiny of what this all is.
The people knew what they were voting for. As some had one favourite reason and there was a good spread of reasons, it's good that leaving will satisfy pretty much all of them. Parliament vote in favour of the trigger probably just a formality.Oceanic said:
Surely an MP is bound to represent the views of their local constituents first?
Didn't they abdicate themselves of that responsibility when they voted (544-53) to have a referendum? It's no use passing the decision back to the people only to then demand the right to decide back when they give the 'wrong' answer.Phil1 said:

There is no wrong answer, but the law is that such decisions have to be made by parliament, now we will see which MPs listen to the democratic will of the people and which go against it. The end result will be the same.Gassing Station | News, Politics & Economics | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
