He wouldn’t have got his deal through, amendments would have been added changing his deal. Brexit would have been watered down.

The reason for this being that MP's are not going to vote for an agreement which leaves their constituents worse off or badly worse off in some sections.

I assume you are not a member of the silent majority, Daft Fecker... drivel pours copiously out of you daily!

Why not give it a rest and join the silent people you seem to admire so much?

What ever the reasons, and I don’t believe they all voted because of them reasons. It’s plain to see that some are totally against Brexit some are for it, of them some are happy to have a soft Brexit. While others want a more extreme Brexit and then there are those that were doing it for political gain. I’m of the opinion that nobody is fully doing this for the benefit of their constituents. Procrastinating on this issue is causing just as much harm to the economy. Brexit was never going to be economically best for this country. The politicians don’t seem to care. The really sad thing about this, is come the 13th December we could be in exactly the same position as we were before the election was called and Parliament will spend another few years procrastinating about it.

Interesting but rather general comment. Do you really think that all politicians 'don't seem to care'? Do you include everyone, both Leave and Remain MPs who daily put up with abuse and threats for maintaining their stance on the matter?

Shirley, he would have been better off, standing in no seats at all? If he stands in Labour marginal that will split the right wing vote, as we are told that Labour leavers will vote for Brexit either Farages limited company, or Johnson's erg tories. So, he risks a country wide 're-run of the Peterborough by election, the Brexit vote split, and Labour sneaks through the middle.

Firstly, I think the Farage will order his wretched dogs off any constituencies that are marginal. I expect him to announce this too.

Secondly, the Brexit Party attracts a lot of left leaning voters. Fear of EU nationals trumps anything related to the survival of their jobs, industry or health care. Boris & co have got them right where they want them; turkeys voting for Xmas.

You’re assuming a level of intelligence that just isn’t there. Remember, the average CANDIDATE is about as bright as ppf.

Labour will not sneak through the middle, Swinson stands a chance as it seems to be on-trend being a snowflake.

Nige is on a mission and nothing will stop him.

Ohh here we are, all home from work lads?
