    If all those re-moaners had voted for Theresa May’s deal then they could have had a very soft Brexit .
    Of course - if this had happened, you'd have the ERG and Farage's cohort essentially in the position of the remain camp aiming to thwart parliament in the opposite direction.

    If all the MPs ( Labour and Conservative ) that were elected on manifestoes to respect the Leave Vote voted for Theresa May’s deal then it would have won by big numbers .

    These MPs fraudulently stole their seats and are doing all they can to subvert the Democratic Vote . They are not Democrats .

    what % of MPs were elected on an explicit mandate of a no deal brexit?

    any figures for this?

    proper ones, like?

    Ah. Well, in that case, since the people of the UK at the last general election voted by a decisive majority for manifestos which opposed leaving with no deal, you must agree that no-deal Brexit should be off the table.

    By "subvert" do you just mean "change"?

    I have great faith in democracy and believe democracy will win .

    We have only to look at Hong Kong and Russia to see what happens when democracy is not respected .
    Hong Kong? Russia? No need to look so far; we only have to look to the UK. The people are being denied the Brexit they voted for, while antidemocratic elitist ultra-Brexiteers funded by shady foreign money seek to ram through a crash-out Brexit instead.

    Stop the coup!

    Boris Johnson voted against May's deal. Twice. So by your own account he's a fraud that stole his seat and is doing all he can to subvert the democratic process. And his cabinet is stuffed with similar frauds who stole their seats and did all they could to subvert the democratic process.

    Their manifestos said they would respect the Leave Vote i.e. Leave the Eu .

    You were asked specifically about a no deal Brexit. The Tories ran on manifesto of a deal.

    If the government are unwilling to make a deal, they're attempting to protect their electorate by not crashing out. Pushing the government in a general election is giving them a mandate if they get reelected.

    They did in the end back Theresa May’s weak leave deal .

    If all the re-moaner MPs had stood by the manifesto commitments at the general election they too would have backed Theresa May’s deal .

    The re-moaners are anti-democrats . For democracy to work the losers have to accept the democratic decision of the People .

    Remain = Lost ; Leave = Winner .

    I guess you include Boris in that too? In the last election MPs in favor of brexit with a deal got the most seats which would suggest that the voters want a deal. Boris voted against Mays deal twice which directly contradicts what most people voted for in the last election.

    Obviously if the Eu is not willing to do a deal acceptable to you then Leave the Eu is the position .

    It is the Eu’s choice not to do a deal acceptable to Boris Johnson’s government .

    The Eu , if it wishes could come up with a deal acceptable to Johnson’s government . The Eu chooses not to .

    Obviously the Uk leaves the Eu one way or the other .

    The but EU and the UK agreed on a deal? The majority of voters want a deal. If Boris isn’t happy with the deal he should come up alternatives. The EU have said they are open to this but Boris has come up with nothing.

    There is a deal the UK agreed to and which UK parliament has chosen not to accept. It is up to the UK to offer alternative proposals to that deal, which it can't or doesn't want to do. I hear Paul Cunningham in my head!

    All those MP’s should have voted for May’s weak deal then .

    Funny how re-moaners are running from a General Election now . They are not fond of Democracy . Chickens:eek:

    A deal acceptable to Boris Johnson's government . I am sure the Eu will do this in the interests of the 26 Counties . After all the 26 Counties will be remaining in the Eu .

    The EU expects sovereign governments to honour sovereign commitments. That's the only way international accords can work.

    The EU spent almost two years reaching a WA with the UK government. If the current UK government will not honour it, we revert to square one - with the clock ticking.

    A democrat might be inclined to seek a mandate for that position.

    That's not obvious at all. The mandate is to leave the EU with a deal. The people were told at the time of the referendum that that's what they were voting for, and at the ensuing general election they voted - as already pointed out - for parties standing on manifestos committed to doing precisely that.

    This is how we know that the ultra-Brexiters who honk about democracy while pursuign strategies that lead to no deal are rank hypocrites, and their supporters nothing more than useful idiots.

    The Eu can come up with a deal acceptable to Boris Johnson’s government . This would be done for the good of the 26 Counties . The 26 counties will be re-maining in the Eu .

    In fairness Merkel has much more important stuff to be going on with . The rise of the AFD in Germany is a terrible indictment of her running of Germany . If she can’t run Germany has she the ability to run the Eu . I see she is no longer leader her own party :eek:. I suppose that was inconvenient for her:eek:

    I mean Brexit Party supporters want no deal exit but how MPs have they manage to get into the commons? Oh yeah, zero.

    There is NO (or not near enough) support for a No Deal...not in government and not in the polls.

    The referendum was Leave or Remain .

    Leave Won = Bye bye Eu . Democracy is wonderful in the way it guides the politicians .

    Leavers are well up for a general election Now . Re-mainers are playing hide and seek re a general election .:eek:
