Round and round, up and down in & out, hot & cold – what a shower!
Most Remain MP’s of all parties, are unrepresentative of the electorate, they know it, we know it, even the most ardent dyed in the wool remain supporters outside of the Westminster Bubble know it.
The Party leaderships know full well, that remain MP’s will be punished by leave electors, potentially putting up to 150 Labour seats at risk, and therefore they are running scared of an election , but they are not alone, in that Tory Remainers in Tory held leave seats are also at risk of being kicked out by the electorate , or even the local constituency committees getting rid of sitting Remainer MP’s , and replacing them – who knows , this is definitely going to be a bit tricky to predict , although the general consensus is that more Labour seats , than Tory seats will be lost?
Out of the 399 voting areas in the 2016 referendum, 270 voted leave, and 129 voted Remain, no ambiguity there, leave had a majority!
With regard to constituencies, which crazily do not follow the same geography as the voting areas above, the best estimates are that 249 Conservative constituencies voted to leave, and 81 to remain (based on the 2015 general election seat distribution) and for Labour it was 148 for leave, and 84 for remain , no ambiguity there either!
In total the estimate is that 410 constituencies voted to leave – with 240 voting to remain, so no ambiguity there either!
The electorate voted to leave and the MP’s ignore them at their peril and now they are running scared because they have consistently voted against their elector’s wishes – .squeaky bum time for them, and yup, invariably P-45 ‘s to the ready!
There is genuine fear amongst , mainly, Labour MP’s that they and their party will be severely punished by leave voters , and be out of work come Christmas, hence the childish antics in Parliament.
