The names in red are the “good ones” by this mentality (Caroline Flint for one speaking out passionately for Brexit in debate yesterday)
A casual look at that list by the uninitiated might suggest the opposite: what is it: white crosses on the doors on the white names and burning crosses through the letterboxes of the others?

MPs are representatives, not delegates - there is a difference.

Whatever; they are MPs elected for the Labour Party in 2017 from Leave-voting constituencies. They all voted for a referendum to take place, then voted to activate Article 50, and then stood on a manifesto promising to deliver what their constituents voted for.
This is their hypocrisy.

What would you have MPs do?
Sit in their hands and wait for the clock to tick past 11pm in Oct 31? That’s what stooge parliaments like the Russian Duma or any tin pot pseudo democracy would do.
Targeting of our representatives whether it’s lists like the above, or intimidation including that of Leadsom and Rees-Mogg and his son yesterday by protesters are despicable.
As well as being utterly misplaced.

I would have them decide uncontroversial bread and butter decisions by themselves, but canvass constituents' opinions on matters decided by the constituency, and take note of national opinion when dealing with subjects decided nationally and represent those views. Only if debate implies a change of mind was appropriate should they explain why they are voting otherwise. I would have them follow through on processes they were willing to get started and not renege. I'd have them put themselves up for possible reelection if they disagree with their constituency. I'd have them not try every trick in the book to thwart the people's declared will, including dragging law courts into political matters. I'd have them accept a nation is only fit to call itself a democracy if the people's opinion is what counts. That'll do for starters.

This isn't question for them to make parliamentary decisions such as whither the NHS? or the size of the arms budget, this is an entirely different matter, this is exceptionally the result of a referendum & it behoves these people to obey the wishes of their constituents, which is also, what they indicated to them, they would do when they stood for election.
