Whose truth?

The majority did not vote to leave the EU. That's the page one, unbendable truth, irrespective of any rules governing the referendum. Like the rest of decent society, we'll go with the evidence, not the corrupt spin.

But that argument places you on very dodgy ground!

"The majority" did not vote for this Tory government. So do we get rid and then vote every week until we can get a government elected by "the majority"? I also think you will find that "the majority" did not vote for us to enter the common market in the first place.

If you are going to argue that no vote can never be binding unless more than 50% of the electorate vote for it then you will quickly find that nothing ever happens. The country would be hamstrung and moribund.

We have to maintain our democracy and that means abiding by the decision of the majority that put an X in the box. To try to factor in how those who chose not to vote might have voted is farcical.

Remain Votes + Those Not Voting = > Leave Votes But that's not how a democracy works is it?

A general election is different from a referendum because you do not vote for a party but the local candidate. It is often said that some voters will vote for anything with a red or blue rosette, but that is oversimplifying things.

A referendum can stipulate that the result has to be over 65% of the vote in favour or against, in the same way union votes are. Cameron made a huge mistake in not stipulating that in the Referendum Act 2015.
That same Act did say the referendum was advisory only. The government has then pushed everything through despite being in contempt of Parliament and defeated on several occasions.

It was a critical mistake not to add a "Margin Stipulation". 55/45 is all that is required.

No, not a director but privy to some information about this company a little while ago. Whether I was fed some PR spiel, time will tell.

Ok, I’ve got it, you’re not a director, you’re Chris Grayling and I claim my prize!

Aside from tbe fact that referenda rarely work this way. When the welsh voted in a referendum for a welsh parliament the result for was a few thousand, 50.2 to 49.8 ish.

The french referendum on Masstricht was 51 for to 49 sgainst and is known as the “petit oui”. The french nation got the consequences of Masstricht.

Thats the rules kid, stop damping your pants and accept that you were on the losing side.

Imitation is ok,unless the frogs have copyrighted defending their rights?

Brexiteer casual racism.

 

[fanseagull]

At least we don't hide behind yet another identity.Come on,be brave,admit who you normally post as.

Sorry 2p
You lost all credibility when you expressed denial that people are about to lose jobs over looming Brexit.... and of course you sneered at the suggestion that the matter has already become violent in certain quarters, conveniently forgetting that one MP has already been murdered over this.

This is a United Nations pact, not an EU regulation.
Do you understand that they are not the same?

Aside from the corrupt money and cover up stopping investigations of Aaron Banks. It will all come out in the wash eventually.
