General Discussion
I forgot about Sinn Fein and the speaker and his deputies who don't vote, that means there should 639 voting MPs
There are 650 MPs. That means only 563 and 536 voted, I think that's disgraceful. When they keep going on about democracy and they can't even be bothered to vote. Have I missed something? Did that many MPs really not vote?
@Vicks - agree about the closest vote. It wasn't deliberate cherry picking on my part rather that because of the antagonism towards a 2nd referendum/confirmatory vote it was that issue that was to the forefront of my mind and was notable because of the number of votes (the most) the idea received when put to MPs. So........how about a confirmatory vote on there being a UK wide customs union ...
I really do not know now. I have voted Conservative in the past, but might have considered voting Labour now if Jeremy Corbyn was not the leader. I remember the middle to late 1970s so I can not put my cross to his party. If we did not have a reasonable Independent candidate, I would look for something like Screaming Lord Sutch, or spoil my vote, unless political parties change very radically by ...
@Lynne to be fair, the closest vote was "Customs Union" - 8, compared to 27 in the confirmatory vote. One should look at the whole picture, and not cherry pick a la Anna Soubry. By the way, interesting to see that she is against a General Election bearing in mind that her constituency voted Leave, and would then most likely lose her seat.
Rather be a Remaniac than a Brexidiot lol I have my flag ready for tomorrows National Feck Brexit Day
Then there are those who, conversely, believe the EU to be a bastion of neo-liberalism.
Communism
Here we go, we've all been looking forward to this for ages. Who's got a street party celebrating our FREEDOM from communism? Oh, hang on a minute. I forgot, the remainiacs have ruinned it for us all.
You are right we would have remained but the pressure to have another referendum because the vote was 52-48 and non-binding would have been on the PM and government constantly.
