MPs do not realize how despised they have become " Instead, an anger has grown not only amongst Brexiteers, but in a sizable faction of people who voted Remain, both of whom perceive, quite rightly, that the directly expressed will of the people is being deliberately sabotaged by Parliament. The UK has in one form or another, functioned as a true representative democracy for more than a century. That means the country is organised into constituencies, each of which votes in an MP whose job is to represent the broad will of the people who voted for them. In effect, the power to make legislation and the important decisions is devolved into the hands of MPs. Parliament has the power.
A referendum, on the other hand, gives the power directly to the people, and MPs are required to act in accordance with the result. The people have the power. Again, no such thing has happened. Instead, a cross-party cabal of MPs, called by several names, but which has become known as the Uniparty, has set itself on crushing the result of the referendum."thepointman.wordpress.com/2019/09/13/parliament-vs-the-people/ That General Election has to happen one day, and the revenge taken by the electorate on Westminster will be savage.
Under peril of being deemed a "dullard" myself, I must point out a curiosity ... that the English Civil War began on the very entrance slope to the Maunder Minimum.

Trudeau isn't much of a PM. His style is very similar to President Obama's. Need I explain further?
