Pity one cannot say the same of your grasp of stats
Politicians don't get to choose which votes they respect

Ive posted numerous times the problems with trade that Brexit will create.
What is it you are struggling to understand, do let me know how I can help.

So Cummings must be a supporter of a second referendum , testing peoples votes is the only way to inform the politicians then.

I stand corrected. 37 is more than 50. And you are holding up 5 fingers, Winston.

Yes, that is correct. But Gasbanni said:
An MP must represent their electorate. That means ALL OF THEM, not just the ones that voted in a non-binding referendum a few years ago. That is the problem, and this is why so many MPs are not agreeing with Brexit - because MOST of their voters didn't vote for it.
It's democracy. Nothing to do with statistics, its just MPs representing their people and what they want, or don't want in this case.
Yes, LEAVE won the vote. But that was not a binding vote. Every MP knows that, and so do most of the public. So not "end of".
Someone needs to seriously learn how to understand figures. And quick! Just because 37% of the electorate wanted to leave, it does not follow that 63% didn’t but using your dumb logic, 35% wanted to remain so that means 65% wanted to leave. Why aren’t the politicians representing that 65%?

MPs represent every person in their constituency.
So if a farmer in Durham county says 'Im going to lose my job', then their MP has duty to decide the best course of action.
They have a duty to act in the best interests of the people not some hairbrained scheme some plumber voted for without any knowledge.

You're right. An MP cannot assume what their electorate wants. That's why they talk to them.
And because a more or less equal number of people voted each way, it is up to the politician to do what is best for the whole group. That's what we elect them for.
If you disagree, fine, but we live in a democracy and this is how it works. There are 195 countries in the world, each running their own political system. If you really don't like this one, leave.
