Parliament at it's worst.

Grandma70s

I agree with you there on every single word

For opportunistic reasons (personal and Party), Cameron decided to offer the public a sham referendum that he was, in his ignorance, absolutely sure would result in a 'remain' vote.

He was PM, but still couldn't have made this decision in isolation, so the whole of his Conservative Government are equally to blame.

But the thing that couldn't possibly happen did happen!.
The Tories realised that they couldn't backtrack without committing political suicide.

That's how we come to be in this huge mess, which has already cost, and will continue to cost, the UK a fortune for the forseeable future!

This whole bl***y mess is down to Cameron, the then Government and the existing Government which has continued to prioritise its own survival over economic stability.

I could have put my foot through the telly last night when I heard MP's saying in Parliament the decision should be decided upon and abided by looking at the Ammendment that ' FAILED ' with ' HIGHEST VOTE SHARE ' and that should be the ' DECIDER '.

This morning I wake up to hear that is still be promoting and there is no sign of the hypocrisy, the shenanigans that some MP's are using to get their way.

As per the EU Referendum it was the Remain MP's who thought that was a good idea because it favoured them.

Parliament is a disgrace.

It is all Cameron’s fault. If he hadn’t been foolish enough to call a referendum in the first place, we would not be in this mess. The public was not nearly well-informed enough to vote on such an important issue.

An uninformed public, two totally incompetent party leaders - oh well, it makes for riveting television entertainment.

Talking to someone ( not British) today she said-
“I don’t understand parliament- it’s all honourable members this and that, then they shout at each other, then they have votes they know will be ignored anyway, then they vote on the same thing over and over- can you explain it?”
Me - “no”

Monday will no doubt see more shenanigans and hypoic

The idea was for Monday to revisit options that had achieved consensus.

And there aren't any.

Alastair Campbell, Tony Blair’s former communications chief and a People’s Vote campaigner, has tweeted out a list of Labour MPs who did not back the Beckett amendment for a confirmatory referendum.

Absolutely pathetic performance from MPs tonight - especially Labour on Beckett as far as Remainers are concerned.

So how is taking back control working out today? Hilarious.

It was never about what kind of Brexit the public wanted, and who knew there could be so many? It was a casual in or out, make your mind up, just a jolly jape. Paying the price now though aren't we?

Tonight has been a rollercoaster.

How did 17 million voters choose all these different Brexits? Was there an extra sheet they forgot to include on my ballot paper?
???

Well, this Parliament is what we've got and all of us who have voted over the years are complicit in what we have now because there has been no appetite for changing the system in all those years (which must be 40+ years for most of us).

So there's no point in complaining about it now.
