290 Remain MPs represent Leave constituencies

Remain MPs, it’s time that you woke up to democracy

We’re just not going to take this any more – The Brexit Fightback Part 1

MPs, democracy is how you got your jobs - respect it or be removed

The simple fact is that 415 Parliamentary constituencies voted to leave the EU in June 2016. That’s 415 MPs. 290 of these MPs do not back Brexit.

Brexit Facts4EU.org Summary

Here is the reality

Parliament delegated the decision to the British people in the European Union Referendum Act 2015
The people were told: “This is your decision. The Government will implement what you decide”
We were also told: “The EU referendum is a once in a generation decision”
And the Prime Minister told us that Article 50 would be invoked the next day if we voted Leave

All of the above – and much more besides – was official information.

It was clear that the decision was a binary choice

In the largest numbers for any vote in British history we voted to Leave.

MPs, we didn’t ask you to decide how to leave the EU, or whether only to leave part of it, we just gave an instruction to leave it. And that means leave it, not pretend to leave it – the people aren’t stupid.

Brexit Facts4EU.org Summary

Here are the cold, hard facts for MPs who just won’t listen
In the 2016 EU Referendum :-

247 constituencies of Conservative MPs voted Leave
148 constituencies of Labour MPs voted Leave
Including all parties, that’s a total of 415 seats where the people told Parliament to leave the EU
And yet we still have a Remainer Parliament

Note: Based on the General Election results a year earlier in 2015.

If MPs just won’t listen – and it seems they won’t – then we must wake them up to their fate.

Observations

We feel it’s time to take the gloves off.

When we have a party that purports to be a serious political party in the United Kingdom, using the slogan “B*ll**ks to Brexit” (our censorship) as its campaign slogan in the EU elections, why should we hold back? At least we don’t use bad language.

Ever since the Referendum we have warned about the outcome of Brexit. When we criticised the PM (and the Chancellor) in the early days we were criticised by some readers who felt we were being harsh.

When we said that the EU would never do a sensible deal with the UK, our position was not popular.

We kept our language moderate and we still will, but now it’s time to be unequivocal. Being polite has got Brexiteers nowhere, whilst Remainers have heaped abuse on our heads.

Only two days ago Michel Barnier said:

“The hope for a return to a powerful global Britain, nostalgia for the past — nostalgia serves no purpose in politics.
“In my country, too, some politicians still prefer to live in the past. But there were also people voting for Brexit who simply don’t want to accept rules.”

Well, Mr Barnier, when it comes to living in the past we feel you should look to the EU’s own outdated totalitarian model, in an enterprising world which is moving fast. We want to be part of the fast-moving world out there, not caught up in the turgid establishment of an uncompetitive superstate.

Now or never. We must do something whilst we still can. If we let MPs do as they please regardless of what we instruct them to do we might as well give back our rights to vote.
I'm in. Please everyone let's pull together on this and show Remainers that there is a strong tide to stop their attempts to hijack Brexit at all costs.

Well said, Robert. As melodramatic as it sounds, we really do have just ONE chance to save our democracy and all Leavers must come together until this is achieved -- and that means voting for the Brexit Party at the next GE if we don't get a clean Brexit on 31st Oct. Nothing else in our lifetimes is ever likely to be as important as that election.

Thank you @facts4eu.org for all this info! Nothing like seeing their name on a list to make MPs sit up and take notice. I'm not sure the majority have realised how much the landscape has changed since it became clear that the 2016 Referendum result wasn't going to be implemented after all...but in the age of the internet there's no hiding place, thanks to research and presentation like this.

what is needed is support the Robin Tilbrook case against the Government 80-95% chance of winning that we actually left the EU on the 29th March 2019...

A not representative oligarchy in the House of Common Oligarchs, we would be much better represented by the Queen in Privy Council, it would be more patriotic, better in the long term, not only that but there would be a long term, with Prime Minister Letwin there is no long term only a very short term joke, a playground for MPs. our country is in disrepute.
