Nope, more misrepresentation from you, you cant help yourself can you. I said that a referendum result should be honoured and enacted, and in your silly imaginary ref if appeasement won then an appeasement treaty should be signed and completed. I also said that if at a future date there was another referendum after the appeasement treaty had been signed to no longer have appeasement then that referendum should be honoured too and an appeasement treaty undone, much in the same way that I have said if in the future there is a referendum to rejoin the EU after it has been enacted and after we have left and rejoin wins, then that should be honoured and we should rejoin the EU.
You however stand firm that referendums may not be honoured and enacted if you disagree with the decision given. You are an undemocratic loon.
I dont believe most people think its wrong to adhere to a vote and carry it through to finalisation even if one disagrees with the decision given. Most voters value parliamentary democratic accountability in this country. We have of course seen an upsurge in undemocratic loonery recently.(see lib dem remoaners) These people though will just have to live with themselves. At least, thanks to social media, we know who they are and are forever more known to be untrustworthy.
I wasnt shouting.
Loon away as much as you like. Testing your argument against the hypothesis of a 30s appeasement referendum seems to be resulting in you digging yourself into an ever deeper hole.
You now suggest that you think it would have been right to have carried out a policy of appeasement 'to finalisation' if it was voted for in a prewar referendum. What do you mean by 'finalisation'? The arrival of H Hitler in Westminster or the realisation that the policy as outlined three years earlier wasn't going to work?
The latter presumably. Fine. That means you accept the principle that the people can be allowed to revisit a proposition once it was clear it isn't going to work. As both our prospective PMs now espouse a Brexit policy that runs counter to the pre-referendum proposal I think most would agree that the 2016 notion isn't working. Time to measure the views of the people again.
