Of course she is.

She is representing everyone in her constituency, whether they agree with her or not, whether they are a majority or not.

Once elected the responsibility to think ....... and take decisions ............. has been given by us to our MP.

The point is to choose who you want to represent you and use their knowledge and access to information to work on your behalf.

Just as you choose any expert to do a job you are not qualified to do yourself.

The fact that a majority of MPs oppose a no deal Brexit ought to mean something to even the hardest Brexiteer when many know that in so doing they are risking their own future.

Then that MP would have made their decision prior to being elected by saying they would do something. The point is that they have the decision and not you. They can, like everyone else, also change their mind in the light of events, greater knowledge or experience.

And we did so against a background of 'experts' assuring us that just in the event of a leave vote there would be a recession and massive job losses.

And we all know how those predictions went.

To be honest, the real mistake that our political class, from all sides of the debate made in the main was assuming that the tradtional 'its the economy stupid' mantra would play out with regards to the vote on June 23rd. In their defence, it is usually the correct stance to take but this leave or remain issue is far more about identity than anybody realised. Camerons huge mistake, and again you can understand the rationale behind it, was that the Project Fear tactic used in Scotland would translate into England.

Willing to put my hands up and concede that I never realised how many people took that 'European citizenship' nonsense seriously given it always felt ludicrous to me but perhaps that is the problem now. We might all see a bunch of w***ers dancing in the road and generally being utter c***s but for them that has become a huge part of how they define themselves and we have, or desperately want, to take that away from them.

This all goes beyond pounds, shilling and pence. And it always did, with the emotions driving both sides coming from a lot deeper, and perhaps darker, part of us all that we struggle to be honest about.

Also why we are at such a dangerous crossroads in our history. When such core issues as how we define ourselves are at stake then it can unleash collective demons that serve none of us well.

This discussion was getting quite sensible and was conducted in fairly good humour for a while.

Whilst many taking part don't actually understand how British parliamentary democracy actually works or the relationship between the Executive and their masters in Parliament this discussion ought not be described as sensible.

Now it's gone back to a slagging match.

All this shows is that people who are strongly on the remain side realised that have been massively out manoeuvred by Boris.

Those opposing what Johnson is trying to do are doing so because of his seeking to thwart the will of Parliament in their desire to avoid a no deal Brexit. It has nothing to say about whether we remain or leave.

Anyone saying its undemocratic will be immediately shut down by the argument that trying to stop the UK leaving is also undemocratic.

As it isn't trying to stop the UK leaving that is bs. It is only trying to stop us leaving without a deal.

Creating another major problem for Corbyn as its decided the campaign socialist in momentum who want to remain from Labour's northern and welsh heartland. The dilemma for Corbyn is the more he rants and raves about this, then the more he splits his core vote.

Labour are really lacking any political tallent at the moment. They are showing real political naivety and now the Tories have a strong leader they will run rings around them.
