Many, possibly most of the Tory rebels who voted against the Govt. last night represent constituencies which voted to leave.
In the main, our politicians have a long history of completely ignoring their electors and actually treating them with contempt.
This has never been more true than the lies and contempt shown over the last four decades regarding the EEC/ EU.
We were promised by them that voting to join would not result in any loss of sovereigny whetsoever, but Heath, Clarke. Heseltine etc. all later admitted that they knew it was to be a U.S.E but if they told the truth at the time they would never have won the vote.
Clark later boasted that he looked forward to the day when Westminster was nothing more than a glorified council chamber (he got his wish), and Heseltine said as recently as last wek that a U.S.E. is what he wants, and he still wants us to be a part of it.
These and their like are the people who are now claiming to be fierce Guardians of our precious Parliamentary democracy.
If you believe that, you will believe anything.
