The reason we are in this mess...

Most MPs are useless party drones, collecting their pay and expenses, and voting the way they are told to.

When the #Brexit advisory referendum result was announced, the correct next step should have been a Parliamentary debate on whether...
...the UK should leave, or #RemainInTheEU. That, as far too few MPs will admit, is their job. They should make decisions on our behalf.

The majority of them know we should not leave the EU, because they know how much harm it will do to everyone but a few very rich people.
About 400 MPs think we should #RemainInTheEU, but most of that 400 think that hanging on to their seat, no matter how much harm they do, is the best thing to do. Because pay and expenses matter more to them than we do. Because they are scared of the whips.

People keep saying we should have a vote on the #Brexit "final deal".

I don't think we should wait. Why not?

Two reasons-

1/ We already know there is NO version of #Brexit that wouldn't do us all (apart from the very rich) real damage. If we #RemainInTheEU, we can get on with
repairing the damage that #Brexit has already done, which is considerable, and carry on with improving things for all Europeans.

2/ I suspect May's plan is to run us out of time, so we crash out with no deal, and hence no time to vote on it. All her delaying tactics have been
aimed at that result, including trying to extend MP's extremely long holidays, to prevent them from stopping her crazy game.

I think we can't get Parliament recalled, as the usual way to do that would need the Government to ask the Speaker, and May won't allow that.

Here's a thought or two for all you sensible #FBPE people...

Perhaps we should not place so much emphasis on demanding a vote on the "final deal".

In the first place, there's a quite high probability that May will either prove to be incapable of getting that far, and she might
not even intend to. It's quite possible she intends to delay until we crash out of the EU with no deal at all.

Secondly, we have a clear case, with good, solid evidence, that the very narrow "win" in the advisory referendum was totally invalid. Given that the win was dishonest,
there can be no excuse for our feeble negotiators to continue with their charade, and no reason why EU negotiators should waste any more of their time on such a fraudulent farce.

May's Article 50 letter should be withdrawn, now.

And that brings me to the third reason why we
