Dominic Grieve loses vote of no confidence. I hope this is the first of many as the local parties put to the swords MPs who have betrayed the trust of the local voters. "Former Tory MP Anna Soubry, who defected to join the Independent Group, branded the vote "disgraceful". " Yet when candidates are selected by the same process you don't hear them complaining about that. If local parties can select a candidate who is nailed on to become the MP then they can also take that away from them. Why did Dominic Grieve sign up the the Tory manifesto for the 2017 election and then go all out to defeat Brexit. He did it because if he stood for another party he would be in the dole queue. Very predictably he has said he will continue to serve his constituents (by ignoring their wishes) hopefully at the next GE he can serve them by joining another party which has a pro EU platform. Edited by Badger11 (30 Mar 2019 12.56pm) Just heard the former vice chairman who just resigned on sky news saying that over 100 UKIP members have infiltrated the Conservative party in that area with the sole intent of ousting Grieve. Luckily it’s up to leadership to actually deselect so that will probably go nowhere.
Trump lost. Badly. Hahahahahahaha. |

You are correct that every MP is supposed to represent all of his constituents. However he also has a responsibility to his party. They cannot sack him as an MP but they are perfectly entitled to choose another candidate at the next GE or do we just do away with elections. Beaconsfield voted to leave and he was elected on a pro Brexit manifesto so I think the locals are entitled to express their anger at his voting record. Now if he feels he is representing the people and his local party are not then as I said previously he should join a pro EU party and see how he gets on at the next GE. Edited by Badger11 (30 Mar 2019 1.18pm) Nick clegg was voted in on a manifesto of abolishing tuition fees, he got in and hiked them up. Boris got elected in Uxbridge opposing a third runway at Heathrow saying he'd lay in front of the bulldozer, got a cabinet job and approved it. When do politicians ever respect democracy?

cos i have never seen a blind bit of interest from you about all things Palace and football related. now, getting back to your favourite topic : Politics. I reckon Brexit will take 20 or 30 years of distance to be viewed with any sense of perspective. A bit like Henry viii divorcing Katherine of aragon and setting himself up as head of the CofE. It took 100 years for us to begin to understand all the ramifications. Today the English language is dominant worldwide cos of Henry. Edited by PalazioVecchio (30 Mar 2019 1.44pm)

UK democracy is vested in Parliament. Our only job is to choose the MPs.
For the avoidance of doubt any comments in response to a previous post are directed to its ideas and not at any, or all, posters personally. |

There is no changing minds on this one. They gave up that right to do so. Edited by Matov (30 Mar 2019 11.53am) Of course they can change their minds. Nothing is, or can ever be, cast in stone. Events change everything and we must not seek to tie the hands of of Parliament. If they are deadlocked that is an event. If they perceive that there was foreign interference which compromised the referendum that was an event. If they realise they made a mistake then that is an event. Everything in life is fluid and it evolves every day. We don't take decisions based on what we thought yesterday. We take them on what we think today.

Legally correct I suppose but his seat was one of the safest Conservative seats in the country and even if the local Conservative party had put Diane Abbot up as a candidate she would have won. OK perhaps I went a bit to far there It is only a vote is it not? He is not just automatically de-selected there must be some process I think. Does anybody know?
