This isn't about overturning Brexit at all - in fact many MPs would vote against it at their peril (there'd probably be riots or some **** let's be honest), and if worse came to worse the government would be whipped into enacting it anyway. What this is about is ensuring that both parliament votes on legislation in much the same way they would most other things (this is pretty important, after all!) and that the terms of us leaving - which were not voted on on June 23 - can be debated freely and openly, as they should be, by all sides of the political spectrum.
It is however worth pointing out that this referendum was only advisory and does not - technically speaking anyway - have to be listened to. The Alternative Vote referendum in 2011 was binding, so perhaps Farage and co should've concentrated on this a little more instead of producing irrelevant 'Breaking Point' posters with pictures of refugees from non-EU countries  just a thought |
