This quote is taken from your link Andrew....some of it makes sense...but some of it doesn't.

As further evidence of his gross hypocrisy, Graham Jones even had the gall to start his own thread/poll on here, on the actual day of the vote regarding the E.U. referendum, soliciting our views.
Which again showed that the overwhelming majority wanted the democratic right to vote in a referendum, regarding membership of a body we historically never voted to join.

Sadly, even with this further evidence, he decided to vote against his constituents being allowed to have the right to have their say on whether we want to be members of the European Union, or not.
He smugly chose party, over us, the people.
Then, moments after the result was announced, he was gleefully posting on Twitter that it had been a 'disaster for the Tories', because they'd many more rebels than Labour, who'd voted in favour of us being allowed a referendum.
Not a single tweet from himself, about the whole debacle being a disaster for Britain's democracy.
Seems this is still an important issue for a lot of people.
Still, at least it takes attention away from the recent legal battles he's involved himself with, concerning the recent elections.
Every cloud...
