I wasn’t going to join in this at it is truly getting on my nerves. However:
Exactly. A hearing was held in the Supreme Court (at God knows what cost) because MPs suggested they had been denied the opportunity to run the country. So what did they achieve yesterday? Precisely nothing. Apart, that is, from shouting at one another for a couple of hours. What did I read today? I saw reports of some MP of whom I’ve never heard almost having a conniption fit when “addressing” his “Honourable” and “Right Honourable” colleagues (about what I neither know nor care). Then I learn that the inappropriately named Liberal Democrats are plotting to further tie the hands of the Prime Minister by planning to table an amendment to the Withdrawal Bill No.2 (which forces the Prime Minister to go begging to Brussels – or maybe Strasbourg depending where the Euromaniacs are hanging out at the time - for an extension to our departure date) even earlier than already dictated.
One good thing should have emerged from the recent shenanigans. Hopefully the wool has finally been torn from the eyes of those people who believe the Remainers’ only intention is to dictate the terms of our departure (in “the interests of the country”). It isn’t. It is to prevent us leaving at all. They plan to reject the result of the referendum, to ignore the fact that they voted overwhelmingly to trigger A50 and to repudiate the manifesto commitment to leave the EU on which 80% of them were elected in 2017.
UK democracy and governance has descended into a slapstick comedy act – except that it isn’t funny. The root cause of it is the Remainer MPs who aim to prevent the UK leaving the EU in any meaningful way, and preferably not at all. Their cover is blown. They need to allow this functionless Parliament to be dissolved and the electorate given the say on who sits in their seats next. Either that or simply save £4bn on the refurbishment of the Palace of Westminster, shut the place down and turn it into a Wetherspoons.
