    What's that in practice? How would it apply to deciding whether to stay in or leave the EU?

    That's what I've said. I've been asking for clarification as Tobes can't make up his mind, he's confused. I've said it's not the EU's decision. It's not me who has a problem with democracy but others.

    If that's the question Tobes is fine because he's not starting to worry about it until it's invoked. I just wish he'd not worry more democratically.

    For a GE legislation would need to be changed. MPS could then force the decision to be made by not voting for legislation change. I've made it clear what I think should happen.

    Because he's a prize prick imo, problem?

    Pardon me if I find the morals of a man who was pro remain then turned to head up leave purely as an act of self promotion and to challenge his childhood adversary and thus position himself as the PM in waiting - somewhat nauseating

    The Conservative Party will elect a new leader who will be Prime Minister and they will appoint somebody to talk to the EU. What is so difficult to understand about that?

    I agree with Peter Hitchens, brexit is only half the revolution, the Tory/Labour system has out lived its relevance and usefulness.

    I suppose it's easier to find reasons as to why people have cheated the petition than believe that it's actually the view of millions of UK citizens.

    It's all moot anyway, as there'll be no 2nd vote. It's purely an act that shows people's dissatisfaction at the result.

    Corbyn is a popular leader, he will get re-elected if challenged.

    What was that incredibly hilarious sobriquet you used for Obama again?

    Too late for that don't you think?

    I would have thought that someone with a brain the size of a planet would already know about the alternatives before so adamantly deciding on their own stance.

    Apparently not.

    Do your own research.

    I see no need for an immediate general election. It will be less likely if Corbyn is ousted. The Prime Minister will inform the EU when we are ready to inform the.

    No Tory will want to be the man who steps forward as an unelected PM and presses the button on article 50.

    Cameron has snookered Johnson by immediately walking away from it and refusing to be the man who puts his name to it.

    If you don't accept a voting majority or a dictatorship he might mean some kind of random decision generator but I fail to see that making sense either. Maybe he's thinking of a group of left wing self proclaimed "experts" to decide everything? Or some other non-democratic means?

    Please don't try to speak for me.

    It's not their decision. Corbyn is a popular leader with the members of the Labour Party, the people who will make the decision on who leads the Party. He was elected with the clearest of majorities. Membership has risen at a staggering rate since he became leader. It's not Corbyn who's out of touch with the members of the Labour Party.

    I wouldn't expect you to understand, you don't do democracy.

    It's the system that has been confirmed by the referendum on voting. Your analogy doesn't make any sense.

    So half the shadow cabinet resigning in protest at his leadership shows his popularity then?

    Gotcha

    Seems you don't 'do' reality mate

    Some one needs to speak for you to enable you to talk sense. My 6 year old granddaughter could help.

    First you come up with an adjective that has a definition such as "acting in a confused or ineffectual way; incompetent". I would suggest Boris, who won scholarships to Eton and Balliol and got a 2:1 in Classics from Oxford, and then has had a career as a first class journalist and London Mayor as well as being an MP, shouldn't be called the adjective you used. But you seem incapable of justifying yourself. You then decide to use a meaningless noun. Your opinion seems to be worthless on a grand scale.

    They'll be replaced, it's them that are out of touch with the Members. They've been undermining him since he was elected. Pretty much the Labour Party equivalent to you & your other sour grape referendum foot stampers.

    It's the Members that decide the leader, if they can't support what the majority of members want then resigning is best.
