Can’t help wondering why they voted pretty much overwhelmingly to put the question to the public in the first place …. unless, of course, they were confident of a different response. Nah … couldn’t be that, could it? What a disingenuous bunch they are!

in the commons jim, yes. in the lords, different matter.

I can see why some might think that; I'd prefer to think of it as more a logical result of the call simply there to ensure the opportunity/risk in the first place; especially when some call for a new referendum to overturn the decision already made.

Have I got this wrong?

Did we vote as individuals within the UK or did we vote within our constituency or nation (England, Scotland, Wales, N Ireland)?

I was under the impression we voted as individuals. Therefore the majority of those that (bothered) about to vote, voted leave.

Jim has it down to a t on the motion.

The sticking point for the remainers seems to be the single market but you can't put Jims motion with 'as long as we get to stay in the single market' At what cost are remainers willing to stay in the single market? How much money are they going to want the country to pay to stay in something that could restrict us in our dealings with the rest of the world. As has been pointed out by EU beurocrats you can't have entry to the single market without (hefty) payments and free movement.

fair comment jim but there is also the worry that the MPs may think they are doing the right thing by blocking brexit because the stupid public didn't know what they were doing and the MPs are bright enough to know what is best.

Starting to think Brexit could be put on the back burner , or kicked into the long grass forever, and we might stay in the EU . OMG.

Nothing has changed substantially since before yesterday's ruling. The government knew it was bound to lose. The only thing that has changed is that the Supreme Court has made it clear that the consent of Parliament is required to trigger A50, that no preconditions are necessary to undertake that process and that the devolved Parliaments (or whatever grand title it is they have been bestowed with) have not to be consulted. Calm down everybody!

I suspect some are panicking a bit shale we say because of Project Fear. It has instilled a deep feeling of mistrust of Parliament.

Nut as NJ says, just stay calm and see what happens. if MP's do vote against and it fails then millions can take to the streets, force a GE and then there is the chance to dump any treacherous MP's if they have not represented the feelings of their constituents.

The Bremoaners will not stop, I suspect that on a change of Government they will campaign to go back in. Much of their campaign is driven by people who make money on the back of the majority f us. They wont want to loose that so taking it slowly, dotting I's and crossing T's will make it more difficult for them to undermine without them being widely exposed to public wroth.

millions can't force an election, on or off the street, so don't bother getting out the pitchforks and flaming torches. As far as I know you need two-thirds support in parliament, or a no-confidence motion.

[youngmafbog]

Now you are being naive jno. Civil unrest will force an election. Hopefully it would be peaceful but I'm afraid there are some that would not be.

I too fear that Brexit will die a death. Very annoying....

[whiskeryron]

I still maintain there is a plot afoot to stifle Brexit. We joined a club we are entitled by the will of the people to leave the club. GET ON WITH IT.
