Because a majority of MPs, quite a sizeable majority, voted Remain. The ERG ****ed up not backing May’s deal when they had the chance, that was their best shot. But even if all leave supporting MPs wanted exactly the same thing they couldn’t have forced it through.
But that would be irrelevant if parliment had a majority. I'm not sure of the numbers of mps who voted leave though
In my opinion, democracy has been broken since I was old enough to understand the meaning of the word. Why people get their knickers in a twist about it now baffles me
I think you’ll find that we don’t actually vote for a prime minister, we vote for a political party who have a leader who becomes the “PRIME “ Minister.
And we’re sick and tired of hearing about the 14.whatever sainted million who lost a vote and cannot accept it, as if they represent the majority either, it rubs both ways.
Yeah they do. And if you live overseas and are still an Aussie citizen I believe you have to vote too. I don't agree with it to be honest. Sure, people gave their lives for our right to vote but they also gave their lives for us to say "actually I cannot be arsed".
Was chatting about this with the Mrs as we walked the dog. We got more and more incensed, all these commissioners, presidents of the commission, presidents of the council of ministers, head of the ECB are simply placed in the jobs, no competition, all grace and favour, don’t even have to make a case for themselves. And we end up with people like Juncker. I hope the EU Parliament kicks them all out and causes a crisis.
Yeah it's a fair point but I dunno if I like the idea of forcing people to vote. For me it goes against the spirit of it. Personally I do vote even if I spoil my paper but get why people don't.
I thought we had this one sorted mate. Not voting is the most politically valid and honest thing to do if you want genuine change. The current **** pit is a brilliant demonstration of the farce of parliamentary democracy.
