Boris is neither leave or remain, he's for himself. Utter mercenary. Not fit to be PM.
Any of Jeremy Hunt or Rory Stewart or David Lidington please. Rest are toxic.

No, populism from aggressive dim witted types against any politician (unless they're Trump or Farage) is very silly, many MPs are doing a decent job in their constituencies, all forgotten about with this tedious Brexit situation. However if you dont like your MP and think they're just in it for themselves vote him/her out for a better one next election.

Unfortunately my area is massively liebour so you could put a red rosette on a pile of dog poo and it’ll still win!

Got to be the left testicle. In fact, I'd rather have both of them removed than live in a country where Corbyn and Abbott were in charge.

If they are all doing such a good job for their constituencies, why are they not enacting what the majority of constituents who voted in the Referendum wanted? Not just not enacting it but doing all they can to frustrate it. Unless they are in it for themselves...

Because they realise that Brexit is all about the bad half of the Tory Party desperately trying to gain control of the UK.If they are all doing such a good job for their constituencies, why are they not enacting what the majority of constituents who voted in the Referendum wanted?

No, I don't think anyone will make a difference.
What a deflected and lazy reply to my point. If that's all you have then get back to reading your Beano.

No its not, parliament is currently about the rotten part of MPs frustrating democracy.

While I'm almost 100% against the situation in Parliament ithat has allowed the result of the referendum to be frustrated/delayed - and at significant expense - it is not 'democracy' that is being frustrated. It is actually (UK's version of) democracy that is being used to do the 'frustrating'!
I do note, however, that Doon is posting his all too frequent drivel (imo). But, again, that's democracy in action too!

It's true though, othewise we'd be long gone
If we’d told the EU to shove it when they demanded billions from us before they would talk about a future trading agreement then we’d have left but the tossers in charge haven’t gone got the balls to do it!

It may or may not be. Your 'logic' for determining that it is is flawed!
Have you considered applying for a position in the Diplomatic Corps?

No!
Mine is a self made multi-millionaire who could almost certainly 'do more for himself' outside politics. So self-interest isn't what drives him!

MPs represent their own constituents views not everyone else's, that probably why they got elected!
Wrt Brexit it's Freedom of choice, important in a democracy.
In a hung parliament you are going to get stand offs and draws. To get something as divisive as a No Deal Brexit through, a Government needs a decent majority, they dont have it because in 2017 the people didn't give May's govt it. Her choice to try and strengthen her Brexit position as even with the inherited majority of ca. 30 she had in 2016 she probably figured she couldn't get it through with only that. Rest they say is history.
However the default position remains to leave with No Deal on Halloween so maybe you just need to be patient and you'll get what you think the UK needs. Boris will likely be in charge then too.
