Last night at the Spectator Awards I had a distinct feeling that our political class do not accept the 23rd of June referendum result.

For what its worth I do think they will go along with the vote though. But this is a bit silly

We don't need to keep bits and pieces of the EU and we may be forced to if they start scoring points off each other in parliament over it.

Ok, if the Govt lose the appeal, maybe time to call a general election and see if they get a bigger majority.
Wonder who will be quaking in their boots the most....perhaps the MPs who dare to go against their constituent voters.

It would be beautiful to see Brexit fail and Farage's 'legacy' go up in flames after all the lies he told during the campaign.

It's their job to do what is best for the country and seeing as, months after the referendum result, we are still yet to see one single positive to come out of potentially leaving the EU that would be to halt this as quickly as possible.

Actually, their job is to represent their constituents in Parliament.

You will never see a positive out of Brexit because you don't choose to. Your mind is made up and nothing will change that, it's clear.

An election result cannot be overturned because you don't like it.
