Brexit - your perspective over the years

Catch is its true and given possible issues with health cover doubt we will be able to use it as intended (long stays) post Brexit, but at least meantime it is a useful hedge against sterling, suspect it is going to be sold depending on how things go.

Because it was voted for in a national referendum perhaps?

If an MP represents a strongly remain constituency why should they vote for something their constituents categorically don't want even if the rest of the country does?

Absolutely, so why is there so many voting against the will of their constituents?

Of course they do, they're not even trying to hide their contempt of the decision to leave anymore.
The aim of the majority of parliament since the referendum has been to frustrate the vote.

Not sure you've read my whole post.

Not at all. When the vote was announced the pound fell in value. Each and every time there is a lurch into uncertainty, the pound drops. You might say I am noting a trend and that trends can always be bucked but I can't see how the pound will increase in strength if the cost of business is increased as Brexit under any form will do.

And that is the doubt I have too in terms of Brexit. Leaving EU seems to be risky, that should be considered.

You sound just like the politicians you criticise if you're going to repeat the same post I responded to.

Because we live in a democracy and the vote has already been held the result was leave so mps have a duty to uphold the majority decision. Just because one particular constituency or another doesn’t agree is irrelevant after all if remainers had won the referendum would brexiteers be able to force through leaving the EU through their mp just because their constituency had a leave majority? No of course not they would be told you lost the referendum. The only reason this debate has reached the position it has is because the mps don’t know what they are doing and the media is strongly remain and so continue to promote their agenda. Look at what happened in the RoI they continued having referendums until they got the answer they wanted then hey presto no more referendums, even if those who lost the final one wanted another it’s double standards.

You're the one using the politicians favourite trick of deflection.

And that is the doubt I have too in terms of Brexit. Leaving EU seems to be risky, that should be considered.

It’s not Brexit but the confusion over it that has left investor uncertain and led to a drop in the pound if there had not been all the doom saying around it i very much doubt it would have been any where near as bad as it has become.

So you want to see MPs contradicting the majority view of their constituents? Just so we're clear.

It was, we were told before the referendum that it would mean leaving the single market and the customs union, we were told before the referendum that each household would be £5000 worse off a year, WW3 would start, we would have to give our firstborns over to a state run workhouse and our right legs would fall off, yet still we voted to leave, the problem is the political entity that is the EU, we simply do not like it.

Ask them, I'm not a psychiatrist.

I keep telling my fella to sell up and buy a house somewhere warm lol

Yes because the majority of the nation trumps the majority of a constituency by your reasoning an mp that was elected but who was in the losing side of an election should have to do what his/her constituents want on a national scale even though his party isn’t in power it doesn’t make sense. An mp has to work for his constituency yes but in national politics it is a moot point.
