I'd really hoped that people wouldn't make a political point out of this comment, but I suppose it was to much to ask of a Brexiteer as valid points are very thin on the ground for them.

[Facepalm] You just did it yourself [/facepalm]

[valid point] see above [/valid point]

The Tory MPs who voted down May's deal sabotaged Brexit. Had they voted with the government, we would have left the EU at the end of March. They did this for their own self interest and personal fortunes. Look no further than Reece-Mogg's hedge funds which stand to make him a considerable fortune if Britain crashes out of the EU.

No, it was a very bad deal, it really can be that simple. You can't just sign anything just to get it over with.

Surely that's what most Remainers would say when it comes to the Noel Edmunds question of our age.

They are the real self-serving "traitors", a word Brexiteers like to use, not the opposition. Maybe May should have removed the whip from them and expulsed them from the party when they refused to follow the whip. Absolute hypocracy from Johnson to twice vote against his prime minister then remove the whip from 21 tory MPs for doing exactly the same.

Not really, just that Mrs May wasn't a proper leader, and only seemed to want to be PM for the sake of it, like her counterpart in the Lowland League/Vauxhall Conference, the anointed Dr Doom himself.

No MP comes out of this smelling of roses but if you are going to put a bomb under parliament, make sure that it's planted under the government benches.

I doubt advocating that kind of thing is necessary (or advisable), simply promise a Peerage or EU Commissionership to coax them out, and make them vote for a General Election as a precondition.

 

Your point seems to be that we should have done what the EU told us to do, and everything would be OK.

I think you'll find that general elections now take place every 5 years because of the Fixed Term Parliament Act - the very act that prevented a general election recently as it requires 2/3 of MPs to agree to an early election.

And where does it say referenda are only held once?

Quite right, let's have one every 3 years to make sure that nobody's changed their mind.
