but it's funny

I know people who voted remain and now thnk the EU is the devil incarnate and deeply regret ther vote. Sorry, PEP, it do be like that.

sure sure

Because if anything has been shown the past 4 years

its that brexit is being a massive success

lmao

Because you can base it on what hasn't happened due to a remainer government? The *only* way to judge whether r not Brexit is a success is to get Brexit and see what happens after the adjustmnt period.

oh oh, can i do it? please?
"brexit hasnt happened yet how can you judge it?"

brexit has quite definitively proven how broken parliament is and the representational deficit when you have MPs who believe they are elected to use their own judgement and an electorate who believe the MPs are supposed to represent them. it's about 80% in opposite directions.

fix that.

The remainer govt

ya ok lmao

i got the percentages wrong, but still:

this one tweet shows the huge problem brexit exposed

it's probably more important than leaving the EU

MPs "WE HAVE TO STOP THIS POPULIST SCURGE"

The people "What?"

The thing is though

the MP's are there to act in their constituencies best interests

it's their and their civil servants jobs

to know what's best for the country

bob down the pub doesn't know foreign policy

no, they're elected to represent their constituency

Pep, why have you started posting in here?

at least, thats what the people think

You never did before

Who knows

Didn't know we existed down here? ;3

You are misunderstanding standing what this poll shows.

It shows that the people of the country do not agree with the MPs on their role

Doesnt matter what the "Proper role is"

I remember hearing something about how MP candidates were originally chosen by the local branches, but they changed that ages ago and all MP candidates are chosen by the central branch

it's a massive disconnect of opinion between the people elected and the people electing them.

Exactly

There's a disconnect between the political classes in this system? No, I never!

Welcome to Britain now and historically.

Id say its got larger recently

this is why it appears to people like me, that we elect politicians on a manifesto who then proceed to do whatever the fuck they like for 4-5 years. its because it's true, that's exactly what happens from the point of view of someone who thinks MPs should represent their constituents opinions and desires.

It had always been that way

Id say the disconnect was more manageable before

Taking us into World War 2 was exactly the same

Probably due to the internet
