As it is there's nothing to stop the MPs voting for another election and Johnson going "Oh, you know that election we talked about having on 14th October, now that you've voted it's going to be 14th November instead. By the way, whilst Parliament is dissolved for an election we'll be leaving the EU with no deal".
I can only assume that you weren't aware of this.
He had his mandate from the referendum to leave.
Putting that aside, you are missing the point.
We have never gone through a session in Parliament like the last year. The Speaker breaking with tradition and siding with the opponents of Leave. The opposition forcing the PM to rule out a no deal, knowing that just by doing that his chances of getting a deal squashed. Taking the government to court over the prorogation of Parliament, something that has happened lots of times in the past. Winning that legal battle against all the grain and history of the past with a panel of judges ingrained in the very EU mantle most of the country are trying to leave. Refusing the opportunity to go to the country to give some authority to what they are doing.
In fact they have acted exactly as the EU does. Hardly surprising when it's the EU that is wagging the dog.
The EU has a history of not accepting referendums that go against them. They have a history of imposing second votes on anything that goes against the grand plan. They wont want another referendum until they are sure they can win it. They wont want another GE, unless they can be sure that a Remain leaning Government can be installed. It's their modem modem operandi.
Everything the remainers in the house have done, is exactly why I voted Leave in the first place, an undemocratic power unto itself, that doesn't care what the people think, or what the people want, we are irrelevant to their plans, and the last thing they want is our opinion. All the while the country, and especially businesses stagnate, because they haven't a clue what is around the corner.
It could all be easily resolved. Go to the people, let them have a say AGAIN, call a GE. Only that isnt how democracy works within the EU. They'll wait until they think they can win a second referendum, or have a Remain government, and if they think they cant win either, they wont even give us the chance. They'll get muppet Corbyn or one his co conspirators to flag up a coalition in order to force us to Remain.
Everything that's taken place over the last 6 months proves everything I ever argued against the EU for.
