    In terms of politicians being impartial. Are you muddling them up with judges?
    No I mean they are incapable of making a decision which is not designed to benefit them first and foremost.

    Which is most certainly not what they are elected for.

      Indeed although it does look like they're slowly learning their lesson.

        Then why did you use the word 'impartial'?

        Moving on, in what way is Sarah Wollaston acting to benefit herself first and foremost?

          It doesn't matter what MPs do, they will be vilified unless they deliver "unicorns". If there is a no deal they'll be vilified for the ensuing chaos, if they vote for May's deal, they'll be vilified for that as well. They may as well do a full reversal on Brexit.

            Which is to do what they think is best for those they represent.
            Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!

              If MPs don't do what an individual wants then generally they argue that the politician is self-serving. Therefore the argument about whether politicians are self-serving is a pointless argument. It's not really an argument, it's just a slogan.

                EU caves in to May's demands

                There you go the Brexiteers were right all along.

                  This Brexiteer narrative is switching from:

                  'They are ignoring the will of the people because they think they know better as to what is best for the country'

                  ...to...

                  'They are ignoring the will of the people because they want an outcome that benefits them first and foremost'

                  The Traitors and Enemies of the People rhetoric is building up for a claim of 'Stab in the Back'.

                    Exactly they need to get the rioters on the street.

                      So long as any riots start after 9:30, so they can use their free bus passes to get there. All riots need to finish by 12 too, as there are OAP lunchtime specials down 'spoonies they need to take advantage of.
