That’s all well and good, if you like that sort of thing, but it’s not necessarily useful in the realm of politics.

As a conservative, Mogg gets my approval. Hard to believe he could do a worse job than Theresa May.
Agreed. I don't agree with his particular views there on abortion, but he did say those were his and his alone and he would never force them on anyone else, or the nation as a whole.
How would he vote though that is the question? Would he represent his constituents or take the whip from God again? I can't believe so many people like him but then I can't believe so many average people vote Tory a bit like turkeys and Christmas!
Fair question, i don't know. I'd like to think he would represent his constituents.
One thing i like about him, he is very keen to follow the will of the majority of British people. Not sure if you have ever watched him the couple of times he was on Question Time recently, but he was an excellent speaker and emphasised this point repeatedly. I think it's his emphasis on following the will of the British people that resonates with so many people, and of course, with all of us that voted to leave the EU.

Less foreigners.
As I'm sure you know, number 1 on the list - leave the EU. (or as some like to say, hard Brexit Lol)
As for the others, control over our own laws, control over our borders/controlled immigration etc etc.

That is the will of a diminishing portion of the people at least.
Do you have any evidence to back that up?

Only polls. Was so marginal in the first place its unlikely the continuing doom wouldn't persuade people it was a bad choice.
The polls I've seen, since the referendum, show the opposite with more people now wanting us to respect the will of the majority and get on with it.
Still crazy to think that 44 million turned out to vote on this.

Well 16,141,241 people voted not to leave and 12.9 million didn't vote so I'd hardly call it the will of the British people.
Well, all you can go on is the 17,410,742 that voted to leave which is the majority. Who knows how the other 12.9 would've voted.

BBC is essentially full of russian bots anyway. Should see the rabid comments on their stories, its pretty insane.

Though its the will of a tiny majority, its not the "will of the people".
Okay, I'll accept that and what i meant to say. (edits previous post)
Yes, that phrase really gets my goat.
Doom? What doom?
Lol you believe the twaddle being spouted by the linel of clegg & co?
Look the sky never fell, it's not going to no matter what they say the EU are wising up to the fact a bad deal for us means a bad deal for them.
Well I guess you are in the minority!
