ICTJohnboy Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 (edited) Just got this response to signing that petition : The Government has responded to the petition you signed – “Revoke Article 50 and remain in the EU.”. Government responded: This Government will not revoke Article 50. We will honour the result of the 2016 referendum and work with Parliament to deliver a deal that ensures we leave the European Union. It remains the Government’s firm policy not to revoke Article 50. We will honour the outcome of the 2016 referendum and work to deliver an exit which benefits everyone, whether they voted to Leave or to Remain. Revoking Article 50, and thereby remaining in the European Union, would undermine both our democracy and the trust that millions of voters have placed in Government. The Government acknowledges the considerable number of people who have signed this petition. However, close to three quarters of the electorate took part in the 2016 referendum, trusting that the result would be respected. This Government wrote to every household prior to the referendum, promising that the outcome of the referendum would be implemented. 17.4 million people then voted to leave the European Union, providing the biggest democratic mandate for any course of action ever directed at UK Government. British people cast their votes once again in the 2017 General Election where over 80% of those who voted, voted for parties, including the Opposition, who committed in their manifestos to upholding the result of the referendum. This Government stands by this commitment. Revoking Article 50 would break the promises made by Government to the British people, disrespect the clear instruction from a democratic vote, and in turn, reduce confidence in our democracy. As the Prime Minister has said, failing to deliver Brexit would cause “potentially irreparable damage to public trust”, and it is imperative that people can trust their Government to respect their votes and deliver the best outcome for them.

ETA....And now this has just come in. : Parliament is going to debate the petition you signed – “Revoke Article 50 and remain in the EU.”. https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/241584 The debate is scheduled for 1 April 2019.

Department for Exiting the European Union. They still have to hold a debate in Westminster Hall as it got over the 100,000 mark. Only symbolic though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granny Danger Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 Mogg saying now he will back May’s deal IF the DUP back it. He might be a popular constituency MP but I’m sure there will be some of his constituents concerned that his position on this historic issue is being determined by the NI Dinosaur Party. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You get the impression that at one point, they were going to have to confront this and anything they do will lead to resignations either way. Maybe just a case of damage control by looking at who specifically would go and what impacts that would have on getting their preferred course of action implemented. I think we might have a record breaking day for both frontbenches seeing resignations. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother Blades Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 I am of the “better late than never” school of thought.No, you are of the vote leave school of thought. I know you have since repented, but you are the sort that has brought us into this situation. Your evaluation of an exit from the EU being soft, preferably was lost, the second you ticked Leave.I’m sorry GD, I like you as a poster, but for you to postulate about people voting or changing their opinion is quite honestly hypocritical. Hell mend you & others like you. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, turns out the policy is to support a referendum on any Tory proposed Brexit, but should Labour win a GE, they'll automagically be able to negotiate a Brexit that doesn't need a referendum because Labour can negotiate stuff good. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirty dingus Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 (edited) Tories to have free vote no whipping which will be a letdown to a few o the more pervy ones, cabinet to abstain on indicative votes.

FFS Folk throwing their excuses in early so that they can blame the DUP as the ones to push it across the line and protect their own hides? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
