NOW REMAINERS THREATEN TO BRING DOWN GOVERNMENT.

It seems that the arch-Remainers in the Conservative Party - the likes of Ken Clarke and Dominic Grieve, as well as leadership candidate Rory Stewart - have finally made their positions clear. In the event that any future leader of the Party, and Prime Minister, tries to bring Brexit about without a formal deal with the European Union, they will 'bring down the Government'.

Given that the nation voted for Brexit, is this not the ultimate in anti-democratic action ? These people talk about types of Brexit as if they have special knowledge of which the electorate are ignorant, implicitly saying that the electorate are stupid. What they want is simply to stay in the EU at any cost; they have no interest in democracy or carrying out the Will of the people. Just now, I've heard Rory Stewart imply that the views of 270 Members of Parliament must be listened to; what about the views of 17.4 million voters which he seems perfectly happy to ignore ?

It's suggested that members of the European Research Group, a sub-species within the Conservative Party, will migrate to Nigel Farage's Brexit Party if the UK does not leave the EU on 31st October, as is currently the law. Conversely, it's said that the arch-Remainers in the Party will move to the Liberal Democrats if Brexit is brought about without a deal that they like; these are the 'Wets' on the extreme left of the Party who have far more in common with the Liberals anyway and without whom the Party would probably be better off. Perversely, such a move by either wing of the Conservative Party could galvanise British politics, re-introducing a true right wing Conservative Party, be it by amalgamation with the Brexit Party or by the left wingers leaving in a huff.

For members of any political party to talk openly about bringing down their own government is shocking. For it to be a consequence of those same members ignoring the democratically expressed Will of the People, is appalling. They should be expelled from the party and Parliament, vilified and strung up.
