Re: Leavers and Remainers, A Call For Unity?
Surely all those MP's cannot fail to see how the people are thoroughly disgusted with their antics. All letters and comments online seem to be full of bile towards them from both remain and leave voters.They may well feel smug and safe because the next general election is not scheduled until May 2022, but I guarantee the people will not easily forget and they can expect a severe beating when the time comes - for their utter betrayal

They are all safe & sound in their own little club, living in their ivory towers.

We know that because it didn’t contain any explicit statement to make clear that the result would be legally binding.
The House of Lords Constitution Committee explained in a 2010 report why that’s the case. It said “because of the sovereignty of Parliament, referendums cannot be legally binding in the UK, and are therefore advisory”.
In other words, unless Parliament actively agrees to bind itself to the result of a future referendum, it is not legally obliged to enact the outcome.
In fact, the government recognised the need to make these things explicit in 2011, when Parliament passed the legislation to allow for a referendum on electoral reform. Section 8 of the Parliamentary Voting System and Constituencies Act 2011 makes very clear that the government would have to enact a new voting system in the event of a “yes” vote.
There was no such provision in the EU Referendum Act, which in legal terms means that the result was not binding.
Additionally the Supreme Court determined that the triggering of Article 50 required an act of Parliament confirming that Parliament is indeed sovereign
Facts not fake news beloved of hardcore Brexiteers
Perhaps admitting the truth would be a start towards fostering goodwill

At the end of the day, it was stated they'd adhere to the result.
Ever since however, all they've tried to do is scupper it.
Save your energy, I doubt you'll convince anyone to change their minds.
And to reiterate the exact problem and why people want to leave, all you have quoted was from the EU!!!!!
