Labour / Tory Party meltdown Referendum fallout

[Ancient Citizen]

And the Labour front bench is decimated further as Angela Eagle quits.

So she's flown the nest?

Appears these people become MPs not knowing the views of the people they are representing !

What i don't understand is that its all well and good having the petition for a second referendum but how the hell does anyone proved that the the people who have signed up didn't vote stay anyway.

There is nothing to show that the 3.5 million people all voted leave in the first vote.

Can someone educate me in simple terms as to why all the labour MPs are resigning :-/

They're resigning as shadow ministers, rather than as MPs.

I suspect some might be just trying to get the current situation resolved as soon as possible, but it looks like quite a few think Corbyn needs replacing to give Labour some energy. I think that the prime cause was that he didn't seem to endorse Labour policy over the referendum.

Was it? I can understand it in a way, nobody likes to lose, and everyone thought that remain would win, so there's always going to be idiots
angling to repeal the unrepealable. That clown with the expression of someone preparing for a haermorrhoid operation, leading his party of perpetual losers and PR advocaters should know better though.

Farage spent much of Thursday evening making up reasons for why it wasn't all over when he thought Leave had lost. Made himself look a right pillock when he won.

Or conversely people see a party label and vote for the candidate despite their views not aligning.

Some of them, not all.
Party policy was Remain without a referendum. That would be the party manifesto.
You could easily say that people voted for people to represent them without knowing the candidates' views!

Poor Diane Abbott....at this rate she might be shadow everything

A far right pillock at that.

Corbyn’s EU Ref campaign was heavily criticised. Hilary Benn who’s held in high regard in the Labour party was sacked by Jezza on Saturday after telling Corbyn he had not confidence in his leadership and was public about it, 11 other members of the shadow cabinet have since resigned.
