So just because the Leave vote narrowly won, are you suggesting that people should not be allowed to give their opinion? If Remain won, by any margin, do you think Farage and the ERG would have stopped speaking out against the EU and agitating further to Leave. Would you have considered them 'traitors'? I thought we were a democracy, and arguments in a democracy, remaining lawful, surely shouldn't be curbed?
I thought you guys were always accusing the 'Lefty snowflakes' of wanting to curb free speech??
Scary!
The political hurdle of the Irish/Ulster border can be negotiated in a bi-lateral deal with the Irish govt.Unfortunately the EU are just using this a scapegoat.At the eleventh hour however,like all EU deals, a deal will be done because Dublin will realise it would be catastrophic to have no deal qand would ruin their country.
The people decided in a democratic vote to leave. Following that it's the duty of all MPs to honour that decision and to find the best way to leave. Not leaving and purposefully opposing all moves to leave isn't an option.
Cable should either join in and find a way to leave the EU or resign.
There's a difference between having debate on both sides of the result and actually trying to trash it so we end up staying in and deny the democratic process .
Democracy denying isn't exactly a new thing to the EU and they are pretty skilled at it .
Remainers seem to believe that staying in will put everything right , it won't , in my opinion it will make things far worse .
The anger and resentment will manifest itself in all kinds of ugly ways , the whole political picture in this country will harmed , massively and confidence with it .
Remainers need to be careful what they wish for in my opinion .
Just declaring on a message board that "it's the duty of all MPs to honour that decision to leave" doesn't make it so. It frankly isn't. I don't agree with Cable, but our MPs are elected to represent their constituency and to argue on our collective national interest (Leavers and Remainers) on all issues as free thinking individuals. I'm sure you wouldn't want Farage hounded out and called a traiter if the vote had pivited marginally the other way would you? What your suggesting is punishment for free speech.
I'm not a remainer. To date, I've been happy to accept the vote and argue for a Leave deal that is in the best interests of the majority in the UK, Leavers and Remainers together. I'm pointing out the problem where people call someone a traitor for continuing to maintain an argument against the vote. It's a right to free speech. Isn't it?
