Originally posted by Yorkie62 View PostThey were democratically elected by their constituents at the last GE, and the Tory Party is currently party that forms the government of this country. The backroom deal as you put it are just politics, after all TM is meeting JC today for very similar discussions. It is perfectly acceptable for an organisation to get its 'story' straight within itself before going into discussions/meeting with other organisations on the same topic.
Or is it just that you have a problem with democracy.Originally posted by Yorkie62 View PostWe would love to but unfortunately the 500 odd remainers in the UK parliament won't let this happen. We have an agreed deal with the EU. It might not be the best deal, It might not be to everyones liking, but it is the deal that is agreed with the EU. Let's just get on with it an move on.
So what do you prefer, the current MPs making the decisions that they feel right and you're happy with that, or that only 150 or so brexit MPs make all decisions for you/us?I am what I drink, and I'm a bitter manComment

Originally posted by Whorty View PostCome on fella, get your argument straight. On one thread you argue that we voted these MPs in and therefore we should allow democracy to run and let these MPs decide on our behalf, then on another thread you say that the MPs are mostly remainers and not allowing democracy as they won't sign off May's deal.

Which just leaves the minority government of the Conservatives.
Clue is in the word “minority”.
What other manifesto promises have the Conservatives stuck to and implemented since 2017?Comment

Originally posted by BlasterBates View PostYou probably mean the Conservative manifesto. The Labour manifesto explicitly ruled out no deal.
and if the EU do not agree to a deal then the Labour manifesto goes against the democratic vote

Given you response I take that you think it is fine for any MP to renege of any promises they made to the public at the time of a GE.Comment

Originally posted by Yorkie62 View PostI mean the manifesto, regardless of political party, on which they were elected as an MP. i.e. the promises they made to the public at the time of the GE.

They promised a Brino. It's in black and white in their manifesto.
They should adhere to their promises at the GE.I'm alright JackComment

The answer is to vote Labour at the next election as they are not breaking their election promises unlike the Tories.I'm alright JackComment
