"This Parliament is such a self-serving mix of MPs who are not allowing the will of the people in a huge democratic vote to be carried out.I think only those who voted the way their constituents voted have any chance of being re-elected."Robert Whyte

"The country should get to the polling station and express their disappointment with the state of the current situation. The lies, the corruption, the party before country attitude. It is embarrassing to say the least."Daniel Dawson

"We are just a laughing stock. People voted out - that’s what needs to be done sooner rather than later. It’s been three years."Laura Louise Higgs

"The amount of people saying they won’t vote again probably only ever voted in the EU referendum. There is more going on than just trying to keep immigrants."James Riedel
