No doubt the Brexiters will say the jump in GBP is due to Wetherspoons, Morrissy and the possible Columbia trade deal“The period of the disintegration of the European Union has begun. And the first vessel to have departed is Britain”Comment

Originally posted by PurpleGorilla View PostIt's often said that the public would bring back capital punishment in a vote, but the educated in parliament take a position against the will of the people because they know better. I can see the same rational being used for parliament to vote against triggering Article 50. A second referendum would coincide with the next recession and would vote for remain.
Bearing in mind that MPs are obliged to represent their constituents but not referenda. That again may be another legal issue. The referendum was only advisory, (see Hansard). Unfortunately May has already screwed it up for both sides and the Queen should not have been in cahoots with Murdoch. From the outside world looking at the UK; it is a constitutional crisis of its own making."A people that elect corrupt politicians, imposters, thieves and traitors are not victims, but accomplices," George OrwellComment

The only real sticking point that Brexiters care about is immigration. If the government had or were to build more infrastructure schools, houses, hospitals and roads there would be no thought of Brexit. For people like me who are horrified by the power of the EU we would be in a minority (though I also believe in controlled migration rather than open doors)Let us not forget EU open doors immigration benefits IT contractors more than anyoneComment
