Any complaints from constituents was always the convenient "blame it on the EU" and then it was back to the Commons bar before putting more expense slips in.It is only now that the eyes of the world are on them, that they are flapping around like headless chickens playing follow my leader.
They are all a pathetic, bunch of losers. I wish we could have a General Election tomorrow to rid ourselves of such flotsam.
Jeremy for Premier !!!

A referendum "dragged us into the Common Market"? Really? I seem to recall the UK voted in a referendum (!) to join the CM.
So: the Brexit referendum presumably is (as "Remoaners" say) "dragging us out of the European Union - especially the Northern irish & Scottish who have the good sense to want to remain in the EU.

Further, so big a constitutional re-alignment should have had to have been 55-45 or 60-40 or whatever. Loyalists in the Six Counties of Ireland are already making this point now for when, in the not-too-distant future, the people there have to vote on Ireland being (re) united. And Brexit is a much bigger deal than that!
The bar should have been set much higher than a straight simple majority.

A majority chose to remain after the propaganda about the benefits of staying in were used to convince a gullible public who little realised it would evolve into the monstrous plutocracy it is now as subsequent governments sold Britain's sovereignty by the signing of detrimental treaties.
