problem with this is, Brexit aside, too few politicians will break the whip on other big issues. perhaps the key is to abolish the respective whip offices. Whatever the wrongs of the former coalition govt (lib dem one) one of the few benefits was to keep many controversial Tory policies from...

same principle - if it's about free votes why are Labour threatening to enforce the whip on a 2nd referendum.

Many of these "responsible" Tories are inevitably going not to make it through the next general election as their local associations don't reselect them. UKIP has gone. Disappeared at last election as it was a single issue group and subsequent move to a far right party has seen its support...

Good to see Brooks in there. Must be scouting around for a loaner. That line up isn't doing anything in the low scoring carnage that is early CC in April/may.

Kind of irony that he cites a convention created before we had a civil war to establish parliamentary sovereignty

How does this work if no one option gets more than 50%?

You also have to note that immigration is a significant issue with remainders. Has pretty consistently been around 40 % that say it was too high and needed various levels of reduction. Attitudes to immigration compared to other EU populations are not wildly different in the main. If any other...

Sky reported it 30 minutes before statement made in the House

It's only the 2 Gloucs bowlers in so far?

very thin. only about 4 middle order batsmen left - Hain. Hose, Lamb,Banks. not encouraging. Farbrace going to have to earn his money. openers need to kick on.

Really an upgrade on Tannehill or just more cap savings? Had a little run last year over a few games. Dolphins better draft because Fitzpatrick isn't taking them through a season.

What data are you using for that? Thought it was about 175 that campaigned for remain.

any Brexit deal gets passed in Parliament is not going to go to a referendum.

problem it's a fixed time period across EU. EU can't move elections. By law a minimum of 10 weeks to allow campaigning for a referendum plus about 12 weeks for electoral commission to decide on what the question would be, Was reported it would probably take 6 months to set up a referendum at...

problem with that it's a 6-8 month delay which again raises the issue of euro elections.

Can't be that simple. Corbyn has his own Brexit plan which seems to have support within his own ranks so that has to be an option. And Brexit No Deal has to be on the ballot (if Parliament's wishes can't override what people want) . Also the debate over whether a referendum can be legally...

Not sure Europe was the main issue (0bviously a major one) at last GE. People had accepted Brexit was happening and so looked at what else the parties were offering.Also there was the 1m Brexit voters who didn't vote - maybe they thought their job was done. Obviously there was a large number of...

please show me any point where i've expressed my standpoint on Brexit. BTW bit of background married to a Hungarian, 2 daugthers (dual nationality), business interests in UK, Hungary, Czech republic and Slovakia. Resident in Hungary atm waiting to find out what the final outcome is. Oh maybe my...

You can't seem to grasp that background to Brexit isn't some new phenomena created 3 years ago. Historical apathy to Europe goes back much further on a cross party voter basis. 1975 referendum Labour was split on remaining in EEC. Labour conference in 1975 overwhelmingly voted to leave. 1983...

be about the quickest way to break EU. Can't see Italy, Greece or Visegrad even bothering to put that to the test
