Brexit vote: What just happened and what comes next?
With only approximately two more months before a default no-deal "hard Brexit," the British Parliament has decisively rejected Prime Minister May's proposed plan for leaving the European Union.
There is a no confidence vote in works which, if successful, will dissolve the government and force another general election.

You're missing the point with your strawman, and being purposely dense while knowing the real answer. First, the parliament is not the only body that makes the rules, and oh boy do you have a surprise coming when you find out how many of the real rule makers are not elected. Second - guys from Bucharest, Riga, and Warsaw are electing those parliament people too. The British are then forced to take more immigrants they don't want, and sending an insane amount of aid to Eastern Europe while in return getting thieving uneducated Polaks in London. Right or wrong - they don't want this, and the EU forces it. EU elected people making rules for British people to follow, which the British do not like, is non-democratic. The definition of it. While this is not taxation without representation, as the British do get a vote for EU leaders, it a country is not the same as a USA state - all of which are under federal rule.
EU is more like a homeowner's association. You have other assholes telling you what you can and cannot do in your house. Guess what - the homeowners don't like that.

Nice bunch of assertions.
Thanks for your input Boris. Care to provide some links to back it up?

no, I don't care to provide you with anything but more shit for your open mouth. I've been to every EU country, lived in several. I don't have to prove shit to you - I just need you to open wide that sexy mouth of yours.
