    Facts:
    Just 1 out of 329 Tory MPs voted against LEAVING.
    47 out of 229 Labour MPs voted against LEAVING.
    Significantly 50 out of 54 SNP voted against LEAVING.

    The Ayes have it.

    No idea just what those bizarre 'facts' are mon ami, perhaps you could explain. There was only one political party campaigning to
    leave the EU, that was UKIP, all the others campaigned for Remain. Cameron, Osborne, May, and the vast majority of Tory MPs were Remainers.

    Tha vast majority of people voted leave because of immigration and our brilliant country is exploited to the rafters worse now than when we voted leave.
    The situation has worsened and we the tax payers are funding the -hit show.

    The sad thing is the conservatives didn’t deliver on what they promised and now Labour will
    Probably be handed the reigns to push us off the edge into oblivion as I’m more than confident the flood gates will really open with Labour in charge.

    So in summary both parties are self obsessed - ie
    They only have a care for themselves their own positions and personal gain and there endeth the lesson and the truth about Brexit.

    If Liz Truss grew a pair now and got a grip on immigration she might just survive as PM.

    Apologies for the confusion sinkov, at crunch time 328 Tory MPs voted to trigger Brexit & Leave, 182 Labour MPs voted the same way and, just 4 SNP MPs voted to trigger Brexit & Leave. This was on the back of majority of their constituencies voting to Leave and they knew their seats were under serious threat if they voted against their own constituents.

    All the rest wanted to Remain if I've got my facts right.
