Reply to: If MPs stop Brexit, Middle England could stage its biggest revolt in modern history

Exactly they need to get the rioters on the street.

It's more related to Farage's paramilitary plans.

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.

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'.

Which is to do what they think is best for those they represent.

EU caves in to May's demands

There you go the Brexiteers were right all along.

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.

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.

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.

Then why did you use the word 'impartial'?

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

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

The great news is that it is a different question. The original question didn't define the type of withdrawal - the whole range from Norway + single market to hardest of Brexits. Why would you object the the electorate having their say. Do you not trust them?

In terms of politicians being impartial. Are you muddling them up with judges?

I am against asking the same question over and over until you get the answer you want.

However I am most certainly not against having referendum's for future decisions....

I think the politicians have made it quite clear that they are incapable of any form of impartial decision making.
