GG Riva Posted May 28, 2019 Report Share Posted May 28, 2019 Before the 2016 Referendum, around 550 MPs said they believed the UK's interests would be better served if it remained in the EU, but we had the Referendum anyway. I understand that was because David Cameron had promised the electorate one, to stop Tory voters defecting to UKIP at the 2014 GE and to shut up some obstreperous, pro-Brexit backbenchers. So the majority of people who voted, voted for Brexit and democracy means we must obey the will of the people. Fair enough. So now we're in a situation where a significant majority of MPs believe that leaving the EU without a deal in place would be a disaster for the UK and bring unprecedented chaos and pain to its inhabitants. So why are we likely to end up with a PM who is ready to leave without a deal? Here's a link to an article which articulates my bewilderment very well. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2019/may/28/remainers-eu-elections-second-brexit-referendum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
