We elect a parliament to govern us. We delegate to them the running of our entire nation, a responsibility for which they are keen and eager. So why bother ever having a referendum? Ah, because it tests the will of the country. Or, more cynically, it allows government to blame someone else when it all turns to shit. It was YOUR decision. Even though we, the general population, are insufficiently enlightened about the facts and they, the MPs, we like to think, are not. That they know ‘everything’. Or know people who do. That’s what ‘running the country’ means. So calling a referendum is basically looking for a scapegoat.

And they want to have another one? But obviously, another referendum would just continue to show the pretty much 50/50 split in the nation. It would depend on what question was being asked, but it would always be close. Because all the leavers on the radio would walk away from Europe tomorrow. Nigel Farage reads any ‘deal’ as compromise on the Brexit ideal.

So for ‘leave’ MPs to say now, oh, but I never wanted to leave ‘without a deal’, is fairly stupid. The whole point of leaving was to extricate ourselves from the dictates and demands of Europe. To be free from them. ‘Take back’ FUCKING ‘control’. The vague and woolly concept of which appeals to small-minded Islanders keen to lock up the borders and legalise incest.

Oliver Letwin has actually done what no-one else since this entire Brexit mess started has done. And polarised the entire nation. As one. Together.

Because his amendment which was voted in on Saturday, demanding an extension to Brexit, has universal effect. The 51% of the nation who voted to leave hate him because it stops us crashing out of Europe at the end of this month. The 49% of remainers hate him because it effectively stops Boris’s deal from being accepted and thus dragging the entire process along for another 3 months. Thus with one amendment, Letwin has alienated every single person in the Kingdom. Tosser.

Which brings me to my Guy Fawkes moment. If parliament can’t overcome their political differences and their glory-seeking opportunism and get this fucking thing done, then they are no use to us whatsoever. They are in opposition to 100% of the people. Because they’re so busy jostling for their own 50% later on they are upsetting every single person. Therefore they should go. All of them. In favour of a parliament of goodness and light who actually think of the nation and its people rather than their own political agendas.
