Fullerene Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 A second referendum that returned a majority for remain would be like the USA introducing an amendment to their constitution solely for the purpose of cancelling out a previous amendment that had gone horribly wrong. I wonder - would we want to prohibit that? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
btb Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 NS on her meeting with TM yesterday, doesn't sound as if the PM is for compromising - it's still her deal or no deal! Quote Scotland’s first minister Nicola Sturgeon has told the Holyrood parliament that she conducted talks with Theresa May yesterday in the spirit of compromise but that “all I really got in return was why she disagreed with me”. Referring to Wednesday’s emergency meeting, she said that she had had “very constructive talks’ with Jeremy Corbyn but that she had found the prime minister unable to set out where she was willing to compromise. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beefybake Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 (edited) 3 hours ago, Granny Danger said: Yeah that’s the excuse that politicians themselves make. That’s why I said paid work; if keeping them outside the Westminster bubble is so important to them they can do so unpaid. It would be interesting to see how many would do so. I get your point but I think being an MP is definitely a full time job. Anyone who can carry on another career is not doing justice to the job and is party to these out of date hours that others are forced to work. It's their choice, it seems. They're self employed and they can be dedicated to their local constituency or not. My MP used to be a man called David Heathcote Amory. He owned ( and still does ) 30,000 acres of fine Scottish shooting estate. Here in Somerset, he was the local MP. Half the populace only knew he existed through his bi-monthly missive in the local rag, where he'd indulge in the usual tub-thumping of Tories....., denunciation of 'benefit scroungers'..., "no impediments to business here..." etc. etc. Only after 27 years, when he was revealed as Mr Manure in the MP's expenses scandal, did the locals vote him out.
