Europe, Referendum & Brexit (formerly Europe..IN or OUT??)

On the lunchtime politics show the other day they revealed that although the majority of labour voters are thought to have voted remain, 2/3rds of their parliamentary seats voted leave. They are truly between a rock and a hard place

thats prob the case because of the amount of voters in each constituency. Labour are really domminating in London and big citys. thats why if the boundary changes go ahead labour will lose 60 seats most big citys voted to remain where as the outlying towns were more leave

i do hope it's nothing trivial

They've published the white paper today.
It suggests that everyone should be entitled to 14 weeks holiday a year.

It looks like the paper was rushed out And no-one has proof checked it

They had no reason to vote they could have abstained like Abbott, whats he going to do sack em all.

^ Abbot reportedly had a migraine and so went home although many believe that rather than disobey Corbyn and vote for article 50 she took the cowards way out. Many Labour MP's voted in line with how their constituencies had voted even if it meant they disobeyed Corbyn. Others voted as instructed even though they were remainers.

My point in my previous post was that this is difficult for Labour and even I have some sympathy for them.

I have no sympathy for people who not only don't stand by their convictions, but actually vote against them.

you mean like someone not miles away who definately sound like they wanted to vote leave and then didnt vote at all
