    Jacob Rees-Mogg calls for parliament to be suspended if MPs block no deal Brexit

    Brexit: Jacob Rees-Mogg urges Theresa May to suspend parliament if MPs back plans to block no-deal exit | The Independent

    So there we have it Parliament should be suspended so that "the will of the people" be implemented.

    What does this remind you of ?

      Somewhere between Charles I, an Enabling Act and Lenin.

        Sounds fair to me.

        Parliament exists to implement the will of the people.

        Nothing to see here.......move along.

            You are correct. Parliament exists to implement the will of MPs.

              It reminds you of a gammonflake, who, when he doesn't get his way, throws his toys out of the pram and runs off crying, putting smilies in everywhere and attempting to thwart and derail any meaningful discussion.

                And MPs exist to represent the interests of their constituents, as distinct from implementing their will.

                  And if their constituents are interested in leaving the EU where does that leave the MP. Which way should he/she vote in the house of commons?

                    It would be a first if you ever were.

                    Maybe, if you want to develop any valid real world experience, and thereby gain an opinion that might be worth considering, you ought to try leaving your dreary nerdy little server room for longer periods than it takes to stock up with Energy Drinks, Pringles, and fresh boxes of wanking tissues?
