They're all tramping around on the election trail. Apart from our Labour MP. She seems to be more on local social media than anything else and basically as thick as two short planks , not knowing anything about the area she represents.

As you implying that she shouldn’t express her own and her party’s opinion?

Fortunately we do not yet live under the dictatorship that the likes of Johnson, Farage and their leave acolytes crave where freedom of speach is stifled and dissenters are purged

This airhead has seriously got to be joking. If she does succeed in winning the GE, I certainly wouldn't care to be in her shoes. Leave voters have remained quiet and respectful under great strain for over 3 years because they were the winners. She would be very wise to keep her limelight seeking antics to herself because if she tries to bring such a thing to fruition, she sorely underestimates Leave voters if she thinks that they would just roll over and accept her cancelling the Referendum result as if it had merely never happened. THAT is when Leave voters would really find their voice, with the risk of civil unrest happening on the streets if she dared to carry out her disgraceful plan.

What do others think of Airheads plan to revoke Article 50?

The lib dems will have made themselves rrelevant on the 1st November.

Since when do dictators ask for general elections (twice, only to be turned down by the cowards) and deliver on a democratic decision by the people????

Re: LibDems want to revoke Article 50.

Revoking any decision made by the population following a formal organised vote is a very risky thing to do particularly when the Prime Minister of the day states.....
“I am absolutely clear a referendum is a referendum, it’s a once in a generation, once in a lifetime opportunity and the result determines the outcome ... You can’t have neverendums, you have referendums.”
David Cameron
... it is setting a precedent and saying that any vote taken can be disregarded.

If Parliament by majority agrees to give people a vote they should abide by the decision or not ask them in the first place...

On 9 June 2015, MPs voted by 544 to 53 in favour of the principle of holding a referendum with only the Scottish National Party opposing the Bill, and by 316 votes to 53 on its third reading in the Commons on 7 September 2015.

The outcome of the referendum was quite clear, and the house acted in accordance with it by invoking article 50.
What then became clear was that mps and negotiators send to brussels had believed all the promisses made by the leave-side. They really thought they could sherry-pick the deal, have cake and eat it. Assuming leavers didn't give blatant lies to the public, it shows what fantasies they harboured about their supremacy within a union of 28 sovereign countries. The remnants of your colonial past caught up with you.

Now, three yars on, you can either persist in this attitude and be kicked out of a union that has been beneficial to you, or you can adopt to modern times and the place the UK really has in the world order.
