I don't think it is a leader column, just some columnist.

Fair enough, but they still decided it was worth printing and putting on their front page.

That's not the same article, I don't think?

It ties in with it all, I think still, they should not be printing such bold attacks against 48% of voters, the Daily Mail are just as guilty of trying to widen the divide in this country. We should all be working toward a compromise, it was such a close vote that you can't really just blank one sides' wishes.

But the rest of the MSM can print and televise bold attacks against 52% of voters - and do exactly the rest of what you wrote?

Yes Very True James

I know I am not in your country....but I still believe it is the job of the MP to represent their constituents...and not their party. So if the MP's are from a region that voted heavily against Brexit....they are just doing their job imo.

But that is just my opinion

Yeah that obviously makes most sense imo

i think that is correct. For example no MP from Scotland should be supporting the brexit bill, because not a single region in Scotland voted for it.

The problem is that the regions dont tie up nicely with the areas that an MP represents, which makes it almost impossible to reflect clearly and accurately, without fixing it, which defeats the object of the vote.

Yep the vast majority of Labour constituencies voted to Leave yet the vast majority of Labour MPs voted to Remain so there's no clear correlation here

Anyway the Express has carried an EU headline literally every day since the referendum, I look at every paper's front page each day and that is always the case. They have their appeal to their readership but they're one of the least read papers and in today's print world that means they really are being read by very few people. Not worth agonising about.
