Referendum is a load of crap.!!

[Ryewolf90]

So two of the amendments in the committee stage have been voted against, the last was defeated on amendment 22 by 180 votes.

[Ryewolf90]

MPs have voted by a majority of one to force the prime minister to ask for an extension to the Brexit process, in a bid to avoid any no-deal scenario.

Is a majority of 1 similar to the referendum result?
Not enough of a majority to be taken seriously and obviously it was only achieved because uneducated M.P.s were allowed to vote. Perhaps we should get them to vote again and again until they come back with the result we want?

That would be a great idea if possible to do it. It still has to go through the House of Lords

Yes, and guess who that one was?

She should not even be in the house.
But then it would have gone to another tie and The Dwarf would have been called upon to cast a vote and I think he would have voted FOR the bill.

Not fit for purpose...

[Ryewolf90]

That's just ridiculous, she shouldn't have been allowed to vote.

Graham P Jones voted for the bill to give MPs the power to compel Theresa May to seek a delay to Brexit, on 3 April (Hyndburn, Labour)

[Margaret Pilkington]

No change there then! Not representing the electorate of Hyndburn....come the election?!?

Apparently having a criminal record does not disbar you from serving(that's a joke) as an MP.

A Yougov poll of 2000 voters show that the majority of the country want to leave the EU on April 12th without a deal....the only places that buck this trend are Scotland....and London.

I think this govenment is trying wear the Leavers down by their continual voting against one motion or another until we have had enough and coudn't care less.
As far as I'm concerned it won't change my mind. Out means out, get on with it woman before next friday.

The Government Chief Whip Lord Taylor of Holbeach makes a short statement.

He tells peers that the second reading of Yvette Cooper's bill will take place tonight.

He says the remaining stages of the bill will take place on Monday 8 April.

I would like tomake a short statement to Cooper, F. O. you traitorous bitch.

[Ryewolf90]

Seems even the House of Lords is split on the bill with some arguing in favour and those against.

[Margaret Pilkington]

Cashy.....I second your statement.

That the Lords are split is a good thing....let them fight it out for a bit.

Russell...I think you might be right...but like you, I want OUT.....right OUT....no Hokey-Cokey, one leg in and one leg out.
I have not got another four decades to wait for another opportunity to have my say.

I am fed up of being ignored....being asked for my opinion to have my nose rubbed in it like a dirty dog.

It is unbelievable that politicians(those who consider themselves educated...and better than us) have made such an Irish elbow of things.
They are worse behaved than a cartload of monkeys.
