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.
