Oh, what a wicked web many Labour MPs weave

Half of all Labour candidates have pledged to ignore the Referendum result.

Let us all name and shame the Labour MPs and candidates involved in this shameful episode.

Below are the names and constituencies of those Labour MPs and candidates who have publicly signed a pledge to campaign to remain in the EU, despite the clear democratic result of the EU Referendum.

Here is the Pledge they have signed

“Labour is committed to a confirmatory referendum, to give you the final say on Brexit.
If elected as your Labour MP, I pledge to campaign to Remain in the EU”

This pledge has been made by 149 Labour candidates so far, and more are expected to sign in the coming days and weeks. Readers will note the implications.

Even if a Labour government is elected, and

Even if that government re-negotiates to align the UK much more closely with the EU, and

Even if this includes Single Market and Customs Union membership

These candidates will STILL campaign to remain in the EU in another EU referendum.

The 80 thousand pound question (annual salary of an ordinary MP)

If elected, these Labour candidates will take their seats in Parliament and will start drawing a basic salary of £79,468 per annum — plus expenses — as a backbencher. More if they have senior positions.

My question to these Labour MPs and candidates is very simple

Why should voters respect your election in a local democratic vote
If you will not respect the decision of the British people in 2016
to leave the EU in a much larger democratic vote?

Just like the LibDems MPs, they are a disgrace to both our nation and to democracy its self.

They are now outed for what they stand for. They would rather serve 27 countrys and the EU itself than there own nation.

This article refers specifically to Labour candidates, as they are the ones who signed this pledge to campaign to stay in the EU. It should also be noted that have used is the latest information publically available, so this list is likely to grow as the election campaign progresses.

What is life without a little controversy in it? Quite boring and sterile would be my answer.
