I should also point out that I have, on many occasions both here and real life, suggested that party politics is not a good way to govern. In my opinion. if MPs voted with their own conscience and the approval of their constituents we would have a much fairer system. As has been pointed out there was a lot of misinformation from both sides in the referendum campaign. Working with the model I suggest, it would be in the members interest to inform his or her constituents of the facts and if anyone wanted to dispute the facts as laid out by the member it should be a matter of public record. The constituents can then decide if their MP has served their opinions fairly. If not the consequences are obvious.
