Shame on every single one of them. Spineless and undemocratic. Voters will not forget this.https://twitter.com/PolhomeEditor/status/1082712883581079552 …

Not sure what you want me to explain. The British people can control what the British Parliament does but they can’t control what the EU does. Which bit of this confuses you?
-
The bit where MEP's, elected by British people, can't influence EU but MP's, elected by British people, can influence Parliament
-
British MEPs make up a tiny minority of the European Parliament
-
If 10% is a tiny minority when we are 1 of 28 countries, why do you go on like a 2% swing is such a significant majority?

Errrr think you will find most of the proponents of Brexit spouted the sovereignty of parliament parrot fashion during the referendum campaign.
-
Over and above the sovereignty of the European Commission or European Parliament, yes, but not above the sovereignty of the British people, from whom our Parliament derives its legitimacy.
-
Our British constitution doesn't work like that (you really should know this). Parlt is sovereign end of - over the govt and people (who elect it). It can delegate its sovereignty to the people via a binding referendum. But in this case it chose not to & made it 'advisory'.

You clearly hate our country and our constitution. We have a representative parliamentary democracy. Dictatorship empowered by referendums is not what we do. That is the method of despots.
-
Could be wrong but don’t remember many referendums being held in dictatorships. There are probably examples of sham ones though with the result rigged or ignored. We however are supposed to be living in a democratic country.

You might want to read the history of Germany in the 1930's. Just Google Reichstag fire. Then get back to us.
-
Sorry lost me, I don’t see the comparison. Please enlighten me.
-
Did you Google it? The use of populist referendums to enfeeble and intimidate representative parliaments is a standard fascist tactic. Its how Hitler rose to power.
-
Well Chris - it certainly isn't working here is it? I suppose Cameron could be seen as many things, but I'd frankly be surprised if even your narrow prism would allow you to see him as a Nazi. No - scrub that - I wouldn't be surprised at all, despite there being zero comparison
