They would get on board or resign.
I don't like it when people twist my words to different situations (but I realise I seem to be doing it a lot on this thread - sorry), but...

Are you saying the conservative MPs who disagreed with the withdrawal agreement should have got on board or resigned? There was a clear majority within their party to support the WA. But they didn't get on board or resign, they went and briefed the press on what a bad idea it was.

Again, I think this comes down to perspective. They thought they were right, and in that instance they stood their ground and fought and won.
