If Corbyn came in with McDonnell as chancellor and Abbott as home or foreign secretary I would buy a one way ticket out of here. As for Brexit, I thought I lived in a democracy. Irrespective of the rights and wrongs of staying in the EU, which I don't want to discuss, the referendum went in favour of leaving. I view a Parliamentary system as equivalent to the BODs relationship to shareholders of a company - it is a practical way to run the country on behalf of the voting public but to adhere to their democratic vote to the letter. Our Parliament, after over 3 years, has manifestly chosen to procrastinate and therefore deliberately obstruct carrying out the populations decision. In the meantime other business of he house has arguably been neglected. I have no doubt that a great many MPs still hope to overturn the 2016 (yes 2016) vote. That vote had a turnout of over 72%, far higher than any General Elections has achieved in the last 20 years It's a disgrace that the MPs patronisingly think they know better than their constituents that voted them in and are tryng to ignore their will. Do I live in a democracy? I'm not sure I do at the moment. Yes I do feel strongly about it, can we talk about AAU please?!
