I don't have a problem with that Ex, but MPs still have the right to follow information over time, listen to constituents across the country and move to act to see fit. They have already voted heavily against leaving without a deal. They are fully entitled to sit, debate and seek to make new legislation to respond to developments from the last 3 years since triggering article 50. To stop our democratically elected representatives doing this by shutting down parliament is a scary move that sets precedent that we all should be afraid of.

I understand the anger of the people who were promised by the government that they would implement the vote but that doesn't make that government statement any more legal in our parliamentary system and it doesn't stop MPs scrutinising, debating and acting as we have voted them to do so until the final resolution is passed.
