Originally posted by sal View PostNo. The conclusion of my original post was that MP are supposed to vote based on their own/their constituency conviction. That's what they were elected to do, not to get whipped by the PM to obey a mandated vote. Which goes against the Separation of powers, when the PM (Executive power) can dictate the action of the MPs (Legislative power).
I'm not debating the "quality" of the election/government system, just the blatant misuse of it.The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world that he didn't existComment

Originally posted by LondonManc View PostThe PM is stating that the members of Parliament respect the mandate of the people, as determined by the outcome of the referendum. If you don't like the result of the referendum, tough; there have been many other decisions that many of us have not liked down the years but we go with a majority.
The whole notion that MP are considered "rebels" for not doing what the PM is telling them to do is ridiculous.
BTW If i'm not mistaken the referendum was advisory, so not exactly a mandate, but it's semantics as that ship has already sailed.Comment

Originally posted by sal View PostI'm not saying MPs should vote against A50 and Brexit, but there is more than one way to skin a cat. So they can still vote to give the EU citizens guaranteed stay AND obey the "mandate" of the referendum triggering A50, it's not one OR the other...

You just don't like the system. I sympathise as it's the same one that gave us Gordon Brown.
On your latest point, please give an example of MPs not voting for their constituentsComment

Originally posted by darmstadt View PostCorrect, the UK doesn't vote for a Prime Minister therefore she must be an unelected Prime Minister
Probably not at the next election as one of her election campaign statements was that she was against a thrid runway at Heathrow and now she has managed to a 180% turn on that which people there are not too happy about. Full of contradictions that woman...
As I said, we don't have a President!Comment
