A free nation on March 29 — or the far right will rise
DOUG NICHOLLS argues if Parliament does not secure leaving the EU on March 29 as already agreed, sinister new political dangers will emerge

THE working-class vote to leave the EU is holding MPs’ hands like a teacher with a crocodile of infants behind it. No matter how much the anti-democratic Remainer MPs throw tantrums, refuse to walk, pout, sob and seek to break ranks and bolt off, we will lead them out of the mess they have created and set the country free on March 29.

As all trade union negotiators know, when you are caught between a rock and a hard place you can’t wish your way out of it.

The government will not call a general election under any circumstances pre-Brexit. The favoured position of the government is to sit out its term of office under the Fixed-Term Parliament Act.
