As I said before, the majority of UK citizens have had to live and suffer in the EU, against their wishes. We voted out at the first chance.
I believe we are rather in the EU or out. As we have voted out, we are leaving. We would have liked to stay in the single market, but the EU won't let us control our borders and regain sovereignty and be in the single market.
I hope the Tory party gets defeated in the near future and a new look Labour party gets its act together and supports working class people. I don't know if that will happen but that is my wish.
The 48- 52 is a none argument for me. It was leave or stay, leave won in the referendum. Remain knew the rules, entered the competition and lost. Article 50 is about starting the process of leaving the EU. As we voted to leave, I believe the vote in parliament was to accept the result. Accept that you lost and vote for the beginning of the process of leaving. A vote against article 50, is not to accept you lost and not to play by the rules. It was an attempt to change a result that you lost in a democratic referendum, by default.
Anyway we move on from there now. Parliament has listened to the decision of the majority of the voters and we are leaving. Reality, there was only ever leave or stay on the table.
Would you be against the house of Lords trying to block the majority vote of the people, which is now backed by Parliament?
After all, Tim Farron said, the house of lords is undemocratic and unaccountable!
