The Referendum: Should Britain remain in the EU?

 A Referendum is a form of direct democracy where the people themselves make key decisions on a single issue. We have just had a referendum on whether we should leave or remain in the European Union. After a long day the results came in that Britain would be leaving the European Union. With Nigel Farage ecstatic and Boris Johnson gleaming later that day David Cameron also announced that he would be resigning to leave his post in October 2016. Not long after the race for Conservative party leader and Prime Minister would begin. Boris Johnson and Theresa May were favored to win, until Boris Johnson suddenly announced he would not be running for the leadership position. The Main competitors now seem to be Michael Gove and Theresa May.

Are we witnessing the collapse of Parliament?

With the next Conservative party leader elections fierce and the position of Prime Minister up for grabs, we also see Jeremy Corbyn getting a lot of backlash for the lack of active campaigning or 'effective' campaigning from the Labour Party. We have also seen a lot of shadow cabinet resignations, including that of Hilarie Benn who expressed their opinions on Corbyn's leadership holding a no confidence on his role. Although there has been a public petition on the government website supporting Corbyn's leadership. Also with allegations that the campaigning mainly on the leave side was misleading and lacked accurate information has led to a public petition asking for a second referendum. The petition has so far reached over a million signatures and has managed to crash the gov website.

The pack of lies we were told!

After critisims towards the campaigning of UKIP, due to the false promises and the implying that £350million would go to the NHS upon departure of the EU It seems many people are beginning to regret their decision to vote Brexit and everyone is now focusing on what will happen next with Parliament, that is if it does manage not to collapse.
