This is very true. I fully respect we are in very fraught times. I may disagree with you politically but nonetheless agree with what you said. My point, though, is in the case of such momentous issues like Brexit do or die is no way to achieve anything but discord.

Thanks for your kind reply. Question: How long do you think the people should wait before they get their democracy back? I think the populace has been very tolerant of their leaders up to this point; history shows us that's not going to last much longer.

Firstly I'd argue democracy hasn't been lost. However it's clear the last 3 years have pretty much been pissed away. Resolution to what, scarily is only the beginning, of the process must come soon. I expect we'd argue what that resolution was though and the steps it would take.

Oh democracy has definitely been lost. Being denied a general election is the act of an autocracy, not a democratic state.

I won't argue the complexities surrounding a GE given the dangers of a no deal as you've no doubt heard them all before. We still have a democratically elected parliament in place, however, and they are, in my opinion, doing their democratically mandated jobs.

Doing their jobs but not doing what their manifesto said they would do. Also, lots of MPs have changed parties and are too cowardly to stand for a by-election. That's not we here in America call democracy.

Our representatives overwhelming duty is to do what's best for their constituents and the country as a whole. A no deal Brexit is the opposite of that. They are doing their jobs in preventing a no deal Brexit.

That it's bad for the country is just your opinion. What they're doing is undemocratic.

And yet they are the democratically elected representatives of this country. As for a no deal Brexit being bad that is everyone's opinion including the government who tried to sneak one through. You may think the damage is worth it to FTEU but the majority don't.

52% think it's worth it. Granted it's not a huge majority but here in America it's a majority.
