I'm sure that many of them wish as hard as they can for a time machine, so they can go back and prevent the imbecile Cameron from holding the referendum in the first place; it was one the most inept political decisions in history.
The Tory habit of putting party before country has really f**ked us this time - they landed us in this mess in an attempt to oust UKIP, then fought a flaccid and ineffectual campaign to remain, and now we have a zombie PM fronting a chaotic government, desperately trying to force through a steaming turd of legislation that only disaster capitalists and offshore trust fund millionaires will benefit from; and whilst a majority of MP's *want* to remain, they're too scared of the backlash to do anything meaningful about it.
What would happen if all the Remain MP's band together and say "actually no - you made a choice, but it was an unwise choice, so we're not doing it. Now do your worst?"

they would all get voted out and we'd end up with the disaster of Corbyn in number ten.

They need to pull their fingers out. Most voted to invoke A50 so they've made their bed. I'd have more respect for them if they came up with a genuine cross party plan and got it through rather than wondering if they'd remain MPs afterwards. Politics is what is holding things back, nothing else.
I've a feeling it'll end up being May's deal or No deal since MPs seem unable to think for themselves or have the backbone in enough numbers to form a consensus that will fly. Useless fecktards.

They would be threatened with rape & being hung drawn & quartered, even more than they are right now!

I thought you voted for your MP based on his/her policies & principles, & those of his/her party.

You are quite correct in this posting. It’s a complete mystery that the majority of parliament voted to invoke article 50 and now most of the same people are trying every trick in the book to frustrate the will of the people. If they didn’t want to leave the EU why did they vote to invoke article 50. I don’t think the members of all the main parties realise the utter contempt that the British public have for them ,as we witness this pantomime. Unfortunately all this is being viewed around the world . Not forgetting business leaders need to know the outcome especially for long term planning.
Maybe Treeza is secretly sticking to her Remainer principles, and bolloxing it up on purpose, so that eventually, she can say "there's no consensus, time has run out, we have no choice but to cancel the whole thing." Then she can go run through a field of wheat, or walk up a mountain, or whatever she does for kicks, safe in the knowledge that although she's secured her position as the worst PM ever, she at least saved us from the economic suicide that is Brexit?
