Stop Press !.....tory Rebels Defeat Pm Over Brexit Vote
http://
"In a blow to Prime Minister Theresa May, MPs voted to give Parliament a legal guarantee of a vote on the final Brexit deal struck with Brussels"
I was a REMAIN supporter, but I thought that one of the reasons that people voted for BREXIT, was to bring back control of our affairs to Parliament ?

Actually I think in the unlikely event we did leave without a deal what could be the surest and quickest path back to Brentry :-)
The reason the hardline Brexiters don't like this and want to get a move on is partly because they surely fear public opinion turning against Brexit the longer this goes on

There are times when parliament involvement is appropriate and times when it is not. Posing the question ignores that.
I'm normally in favour of parliamentary discussion but not when it is likely to be simply used to try to derail the decision of the people.
In this case the decision to leave has already been made and remaining can not reasonably be an option after the negotiation. Furthermore any negotiated agreement is not going to be up for further discussion with the EU. In the event that the EU managed to make May back down again and again they aren't going to be prepared to renegotiate a fairer deal. It will have been the best the Remainer sympathiser leading team achieved. It has to stand.
So, the only alternative that parliament could vote vote then, is to reject the agreed deal and go with a no deal exit. And no one sees parliament choosing that. So the vote is superfluous.
If parliament wishes to rubber stamp whatever May achieves then fine. If it is a poor deal then future governments need to work to change things.

We've been round the houses on this a million times, but the "decision of the people" was to "leave".
It was not a mandate for the government to railroad through the specific terms of the "leave".
THAT is not democracy. We elect our representatives to represent us but also to debate and consider issues arising. They are accountable and can be replaced if we don't like them.
Of course the $64,000 question is: what happens if a deal is rejected by parliament.
