I think all this ground standing and constantly putting herself on the camera at every opportunity is nothing less that a job interview. I expect after the next GE she will be looking to host her own TV or radio show. I hope she doesn't get one and has to get a proper job like the rest of the country.

I love your post as I can imagine your face going redder and redder with righteous indignation at the fact that the Prime Minister has got one over on all those in Parliament that thought they could thwart the will of the people that put them there. Take it easy before you explode I am not the least bit "red with righteous indignation"! I am just observing and commenting on how I see things likely to develop. The time for indignation would only arrive if Parliament is somehow prevented from acting for that would really be a big deal and a constitutional crisis. For it is absolutely NOT Parliament that is trying to "thwart the will of the people". That is just the bs excuse of the arch Brexiteer. Parliament's job is not to allow a 3 year out of date referendum to determine policy if they believe it is not in the country's interests. That Bogus Johnson and his little band of self serving supporters are using that as their justification is simply to wind up people like you. They no more believe it than in the spaghetti monster. When will you people start to understand how representative democracy actually works? The "will of the people" is delegated to their representatives to determine. We don't determine what the policies are and then delegate MPs to carry them out. From what I read there is now unlikely to be a vote of no confidence as this could play into Johnson's hands and give him the chance not to resign but call an election after Oct 31. What seems most likely is that Parliament will force through legislation requiring their approval of any deal, or lack of a deal, prior to exit, thus amending Article 50. If necessary through all night and weekend sittings. The Speaker may yet have some actions up his sleeve. Then there are, of course, the legal challenges. Parliament will have it's way, as it must or our whole system of democracy would be torn apart.
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. |

Cameron and many others promised to honour the result of said referendum, the MPs voted to enact article 50 and then have spent the following 3 years doing their damndest to stop us leaving....ie..Soubry voted to honour the result several times and has now shown herself to be a lying bitch, even changing parties...didnt her constituents vote Conservative, well now she isnt one so she should stand down but she wont will she...nasty lying cow...as are most if not all MPs all in it for themselves....even when their constituency voted leave they subvert democracy for their own gains.....you wouldnt have said the referendum was advisory if you had won would you??

Rattled dictator issuing meaningless threats from the bunker - remind you of anybody? If he has suspended democracy then why go to all the bother of trying to get rid of him democratically. White van at the front door - collect him and his goons disappear, just like the good old DDR. What could his complaint be?
