The Fifth Column

Yesterday, a mere 71 Labour MPs, barely one in four, joined 35 SNP MPs, 11 Lib Dems, nine Conservatives, four from Plaid Cymru, and the one Green, in calling for a second referendum on EU membership.

All told, that is one fifth of the sovereign House of Commons, which, as the Supreme Court ruled in the case of Gina Miller, alone expresses the Will of the People.

Yet a proponent of such a referendum appears, specifically as such, on every political programme. There are not, however, four explicit opponents of that position on every political programme.
