Interestingly nobody has refuted your post, SG. The truth hurts because we have heard too many lies from politicians.

Re: The People Versus Parliament.

Quite right. To retain democracy and sovereignty we need to suspend parliament and sneak through a no deal Brexit. That is a no deal Brexit that was not voted for. So that will show them what true democracy is: circumventing parliament to achieve something that wasn’t voted for. Be proud.

I shall reward your hard work with a joke, about a woman wh goes to her doctor -

Woman - I've got a strange problem doctor, and it's a bit embarrassing as well

Doctor - Well, I've been in this job for several years, I'm sure I'll cope, tell me about it

Woman - Well, there's a noise coming from my vagina

Doctor - Yes, that is unusual. What does it sound like?

Woman - well, it sounds like 'peoplesvotepeoplesvotepeoplesvote'

Doctor - Oh, we know about that. A lot of tw@ts have been saying that recently

But who pumped all that air in?

And now even common people start to twist the events to their opinions.

Cameron had no deal, the referendum vote was a vote to leave or remain, no details, no plan just a manifesto promise he had to deliver. When the clearly not expected leave result was reluctantly accepted then the sneaky, underhand tricks began. Whatever way people voted the politicians are solely responsible for this continuing cockup.

Re: The People Versus Parliament.

Unfocused waffling still from politicians who appear not to know what they are doing. Raving loonies could possibly do better.

Re: The People Versus Parliament.

It looks like the Brexit party and Cummings' PR machine is well underway. The notion is that the coming general election will be framed as "the people versus parliament" vote. This will not be some sort of Union Jack clad Marianne, storming Westminster with a booby out. This will be a anti-democracy pitched campaign which will try to convince people that voting for certain candidates as prospective MPs will actually not be a vote for parliament. It will be presented as a 'rebel to get Brexit' vote. Watch out, its coming your way.
It is clearly underway as our opening poster has been sent a briefing pack on it from Brexit HQ and she likes it.

I agree. The years of anti-EU stoking can be simply morphed into an anti-parliament and anti-establishment pitch. People will lap it up. The benchmark was set when the Mail called senior judges 'traitors'. This has the notion that if you are not with the Brexit campaign then you are not British. Many people seem to warm to that type of message. And parliament is being presented as anti-Brexit and thus anti-British. Vote against it (but for an MP, not sure how that works).
Of course, like the Brexit campaign itself, there is only an 'against' message. Nothing tangible about what happens next. And that also does not seem to worry many people. Sad how easily so many pushed into a bad decision with a bit of flag waving and a bit of "them over there, they are not us so they are bad" messages.
