Well l voted to remain but they won’t be getting my signature democracy rules

I agree with you 100%. I am the same.
We voted in a referendum. It is binding on the politicians.
they have a duty to deliver.

On normal bills and things each MP can vote as he sees fit, but with a referendum he doesn't. Anyone in parliament attempting to stop it should be removed for obstructing the will of the people.

It was an advisory referendum, if it was mandatory the ECJ would have ruled it invalid due to the interference in the leave campaign. I don't want a 2nd ref, I don't think it's helpful and will divide the country even more but if it's no deal or 2nd ref, I'm all for it. Let's just take Norway Plus and be done with it.

The Referendum was not legally binding. More’s the pity because if it had been it would have been ruled as unsafe due to the illegal activities of the Leave campaign.

[JennyWren]

The referendum was

NOT LEGALLY BINDING.

Why is that important?

Because it allowed campaigners to break rules. If the referendum was legally binding, then the result would have been null and void.

People talk about democracy, but I can guarantee that absolutely no ****er voted for the deal that Theresa May has signed up for. It suits none of us. It ****s us over completely. But, some people just want fewer Polish neighbours. Is democracy just letting one stupid ****ing bitch get her own ****ing way? Or are people just thinking "we're out" as if it as simple as they ****ing well are.

Twats.

Is this in the non-binding, advisory referendum?

Only 17million out of about 46m eligible to vote actually voted to leave and there was nothing in the bill that called the referendum saying it was binding. It was one of Cameron's cock ups. It is usual to have minimum turnouts and to specify that not only must the minimum turnout must met but there must be a majority of at least 60% for the referendum to be binding. If Cameron had enacted that we wouldn't be in the mess we are now.

PS MPs don't normally vote as they see fit, they vote according to how they are whipped by their party.

Totally agree.
