Democracy is not a perfect regime, so why not?

He should be thrown out like MPs that are not voting as their constituents did !

So three weeks down the line, MP's are fed their turkeys, May's proposal still fails and people suffering from political chaos...

He made a decision to allow parliament to have an important vote . What’s wrong with that ? He hasn’t imposed a decision on anyone . Anyone unhappy about that is probably unhappy because they sensed it was going against what they wanted. What a shame .

Remainer to the last, he drives his wife’s car with Bollocks to Brexit in the window, because he wants to be seen as being impartial

Well he’s got short man syndrome and he’s a bigot so what do you expect?

Note, the office of speaker is a joke and our 'democracy' is an utter discredited shambles. Brexit has only highlighted how broken it is.

Surely Parl't MUST remain sovereign, with The Crown's Ministers governing by Parliament's Will, established by the outcome of the Civil War and later affirmed. Was he not merely enforcing sovereignty by the only means at his disposal, to stop what many see as unconstitutional?

Yes - he should be removed at once

Because giving MPs a vote totally scuppers our democracy right? Keep on John, loving your work.

Now is Anne a brexiteer or remainder?
