Don't keep bringing me into it. I voted like 17.4M to leave the EU. for me and leavers, leave meant leave. Sadly May has not negotiated properly and the EU are the EU. What hasn't helped are deceitful MP's that won't accept the result and are trying their best to derail Brexit. This is not in the best interests of the country.
Take mad Anna her constituancy voted to leave, like Ken Clark's and they won't respect the wishes of the people they represent. What is worse is these MP's have undermine May's negotiation hand and still want to take no deal off the table, which if successful, will give the EU the upper hand against our country. So yes, they are being treacherous.

Bath and North East Somerset voted 58% to 42% for remain. The constituency MP is Jacob Rees Mogg.
Wokingham voted 57% to 43% for remain. The constituency MP is John Redwood.
Who is representing the wishes of these people? 17.4m is a big number. So is 16.1m.

Whatever happens this country will need to do a Spain, have a ‘pacto del olvido’, a pact of forgetting, if we want to avoid the divisions getting deeper and lasting decades.

Did you not say mad Anna and Clarke were not representing the people of their constituencies? Correct me if I'm wrong. It's just been pointed out that JRM and Redwood aren't either. Very weak arguement and totally should be dismissed. Please ignore this mistake by ellers

They are respecting the overall referendum result... that's how our system works and has for years. It's not hard to work out.... or maybe it is?

Fudge is a type of sugar candy that is made by mixing sugar, butter and milk, heating it to the soft-ball stage at 240 °F, and then beating the mixture while it cools so that it acquires a smooth, creamy consistency.

You should have said that in the first place and not made out it was about mps not respecting the wishes of their constituents and you wouldnt have tied yourself up.

His argument was weak and he knows it. I don't need to take anything on the chin. Unless of course you or SB want to prove me wrong in that the MP's in question are not respecting the overall result?
