Where's the opposing view clip? Did CBS try talking to JRM?

[dwozniak]

How horribly un-Democratic, implementing a process that the majority of the people voted for!

[readyplayer]

What a messy situation. Are any of those people even qualified to be politicians? My dog is more qualified.

The voters voted to leave the EU, democracy has spoken.

The will of the people will be followed through, and the queen agrees. A no deal brexit will happen, propaganda & Labor be damned!

Dang. . .now I have to figure out the whole fake news thing in another country too?!? This is getting complicated. . .

How's follwing the will of the Brexit vote undemocratic?

[Birdylockso]

That's one way to stop all the bickering and get things done! Trump would be proud.

[joeschultz]

So a Prime Minister can just do that-send Parliament out of session for as long as he wants to shut off debate? What happens if a Prime Minister takes office and immediately declares the next meeting of Parliament will be in five years?

This is why I'm more of a France type of guy

[mosesserukwaya]

The formula for Brexit is to go round and round and round and then finish where you started off it's been so for 3 whole years let's see where this one finishes at, this time
