I`m curious who is paying this company to mount the challenge reported today http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-36700350 - they should be obliged to name the person / company so we can know where we stand in relationship to their partiality. Parliament is elected by, and works for, the public so trying to overturn the most honest vote in terms of all votes counting is subverting democracy in its truest sense.

Togo, I was answering grumpy1’s comment about voter apathy being no good to anyone

"I know it's not news but it will be if MPs don't carry out the wishes of the people after they've talked about it.”

that was the conclusion Full Fact came to. Mass political suicide unless they are SURE that the benefit of doing it (ignoring the wishes of the people...or just over half of them) will be obvious and quickly evident.....they might get away with it of they could be sure that all those who voted to remain would vote for them, plus a significant number of those who voted to leave would vote for them on the basis that they hadn’t really wanted to leave or had changed their minds.....still a dangerous precedent to set or to approve of.

I was not disagreeing with you woof, just making the observation that many perhaps did not vote due to their disgust of the manner in which the campaign was carried out. I have spoken to two just such abstainers who were for Brexit, but on the day did not bother because, in their words, the whole business was distasteful.
