The winner doesn't take all.
It wins for a limited period, usually 5-years (I say usually not sure we've reached that pinnacle yet)

It does regarding a referendum.
I would need to have some evidence of how representative this faux pas was before stating anything.Weak? That our annual budget is supposed to be okayed by a drunkard?
I think that you need to consider long and hard whether there is any truth in that.
For one thing, most Remainers (not "Remoaners", please, unless you welcome being insulted as well) are ordinary voters as opposed to politicians, and therefore do not deserve that contempt even if you happen to be right.
That might have been argued if the options were clear about things such as the common market and the nature of the eventual deal.
That was not the case, and therefore the very legality of the referendum is dubious. Both because it is disturbing the working of the UK and because it endangers the GFA (which, I have been told, is specifically forbidden by law).
I wish it was just on that date...
The gfa is extremely important but the referendum was and is legal.
The remain camp would be only too happy if the uk was a truly democratic nation.

The Left are always insulting the Right. We are used to it and have become immune.
As I have said before, the Remoaners are the ones that refuse to accept the democratic result of the last Referendum.
The Remainers understand the principle of losers consent.
Nope,check out Jo Swinson for one.
One??? One, sheesh you can do better than one surely. We are talking the state of Britain's democracy
Sure,corbyn,most of the labour party,I say most because at least some believe in democracy like the 19 rebel mps who voted with the government.

So should my MP have supported his constituents and backed Remain?
So your evidence corbyn and co dont dont democracy? or is it that they dont agree with conservative totalitarianism
Meanwhile Boris is aiming for a 12th of December election which the opposition must support if they want more time to scrutinise the bill.
Jo swinsons amendment for a people's vote was ignored by bercow in the Queen's speech,she blames labour for this through lack of support,in reality she's deluded that anyone would support her.

They don't respect the British public's democratic vote so they obviously don't.

How to reconcile the country - Not
This country is going down fast, it will not recover in my life; I'm so disappointed with the right wing money people who have got us here, the press that hide the truth if it doesn't suit their agenda.
The likes of Rees-Mogg and Bannon and Johnson and Tim Martin will be quids in if we crash out.
Your mp is there to represent his/her constituents,this particular vote was for the bill,the leave/remain vote is done and dusted.

Lightly seared on the reality grill.
The one based on lies, during which electoral law was broken, which the winning side cannot fulfil the promises they made to the voters, and which was advisory? It would respect democracy far, far more to ask the people if they still want to leave, given the reality is totally different to the promises.
I very much doubt we'll crash out now,it's creating rifts in the EU though over the extension,macron wants 15 days but Merkel backs 3 months,interesting times.
