Lets just hope the MPs have the balls to give correct answer , for right reasons, and country is sensible enough to accept it.
In our parliamentary democracy whatever answer they give will be correct. Whether its the best one is a wholly different matter though, and something the record suggests they are not very good at doing.

If they don't reach the best answer I will not accept it and will continue to promote its reversal. I won't be alone in doing that and the numbers of the refusniks will continuously increase as this country's position worsens.

Trump is threatening putting 35% tariff on all Asian supplied product,US buys 4 times product from China than it sells to China.
Whilst I have a lot of respect for the US to invest to produce its own goods,these things take time and would slowly improve jobs in the rust belt,will the Americans have patience.
Don't forget that a lot of those Chinese factories are US owned and most of the US sovereign debt is owned by the Chinese,the $ would tank if the Chinese dumped that debt.
Companies like Walmart are 100% China supplied,that will put massive price rises onto Asian supplied goods,that surely will hit poor Americans hard.
The devaluation of the £ post Brexit has given us a taster of what such tariff intervention can effect.
Trump is acting like an impatient bull in a china (no pun intended)shop,he should proceed more carefully if internal strife inside the US is to be avoided.

The man is heading for a disaster of his own making, and a Flank speed too!

For her it's about priorities,she prioritises immigration control and leaving the ECJ even if our economy is destroyed to achieve that
This is the woman who held the office of Home Secretary and she failed miserably in sorting out immigration while she was in prime position to bring about change.

I believe you are absolutely right Dave in that she doesn't give a damn about the economy or who may suffer as a result of her twisted, selfish and dogmatic policies; it is all about her unbridled, self-aggrandising ambitions which come before the interest of anyone else.

But what is the correct answer?
KudosDave
MPs in the opposition parties should vote to stop A50, wait for the white paper to come out, then a free vote in the Commons to trigger A50, which should sail through.
I suspect there are plenty of closet brexiter MPs among those who said they were remainers because they were Cameron's tarts.

If Brexit is dropped it will be a disappointment after all the BS dreams and nonsense we have been exposed to,
Rather like watching Stock Car racing without the crashes......

Let Brexodus begin! may the Trump/Chinese Communists?IMF loans be with you!
I didn't say which way for them to decide. I,m putting faith in them to make correct decision and support it either way. Can you do same ???

democracy and debate means we don't have to support a decision we don't agree with doesn't it?
So how do you suggest we move forward. Apartheid perhaps.Leavers and remainers ???
How many dissenting voices have there to be to take control, and then what? The other voices start dissenting.
Democracy is also about accepting majority decision. Yes I understand your arguments re referendum but not accepting parliamentary decision is bordering on revolt. Is that what you want ?
