Yes I've found that too. Leavers all seem to have a bit more spark about them.
Remainers are pretty dull.

well my DH is a remainer Surfer and he isn't dull....but there are certain common things I find about remainers perhaps more scared? Cautious? Narrow outlooks?

I suppose I can concede your correct - less sparky Grin

The entire system derives its legitimacy from the majority vote

No it bloody disna!

Bitofacow has it right:

"In a direct democracy an MP would have to act as directed by their constituents, perhaps via referenda. In a representative democracy the constituents hand over responsibility to the MP who votes in accordance with their own, the MPs, beliefs.

Therefore an MP is not required to vote in a way the majority of constituents would agree with, unless the MP wants to.

MPs are accountable to constituents via the ballot box at elections.

In effect we hand over responsibility for decision making to our MPs. Yet another reason the referendum was a farce."

And, it seems, the judges agreed.

Mine's a litre of Löwenbräu, thanks, Grin

Going back to the idea that HOC should vote on Article 50. It would seem as if the remainers are so keen on this in my mind simply because they think that the type of Brexit will be debated. Correct me if I'm wrong but I really don't think there is any way shape or form in the statement - Parliament should vote on the enacting of Article 50- anything saying that 'but before the vote you can also decide what type of Brexit we want'. The debate as far as I can see is about enacting Article 50, nothing else.
What type of Brexit has nothing at all to do with it and I really think they are all pining their hopes on this (apart from the illusion that the vote would be for remain) and that is why they are all so keen to have this parliamentary vote and debate. No other reason. All this talk of the sovereignty of parliament is all balls.

rainyinnovember · 05/11/2016 22:11

Okay. Genuine question here.

I ummed and I ahhed and I voted Leave.

Now, that woman on QT has caused s bit of chaos.

Does she have a point and will this lead to an end of specialised specialists I healthcare

OR

Will it lead to the UK being able to accept immigrants on merits rather than whether they are European or not.

Dh thinks the latter.

surferjet · 05/11/2016 22:12

Yeah, me too.

Night all.
