[Politics] Brexit

The UK population have made their decision, every vote equal, time to accept the democratic will of the people.

Perhaps you ought to examine the thousands of small and medium sized business owners, who are the life-blood of this country, who voted to leave. Just go and ask some of them why they voted as they did. These are the real wealth creators and have their finger on the pulse. They are educated, driven and positive. These are the people looking forward. These are the people that will keep this country on track. You won't hear doom and gloom from these people. Whilst all the hand-wringing and wailing and gnashing of teeth is going on, they are still employing millions of people and paying their taxes in the UK.
Politicians don't create wealth. They squander hard earned money. It amazes me that so many are prepared to put their faith in faceless bureaucrats, who are, first and foremost, paying themselves fortunes and looking after themselves. To trust the political elite in Brussels is misplaced and misguided faith.

I work for a small business in South Wales & the owners/management were all remain, & somewhat despairing on Friday. As an observation; there is a significant section on the shop floor who, if they read any newspaper at all, read The Sun, have a deep distrust/dislike of foreigners, Muslims, people with different colour skin, & who were for Brexit (I am not suggesting that is a characterisation of all leave voters).

For remainers and brexiteers alike...

The best argument against democracy is a five-minute conversation with the average voter. Winston Churchill

 

[GoldWithFalmer]

'UKIP leader Nigel Farage, who has campaigned for the UK to leave the EU throughout his political career, said in May that a narrow win for Remain could cause unstoppable demand for a rerun of the referendum

He said at the time that a result that saw Remain win by 52% to 48% would mean "unfinished business by a long way".

Yes but as a remain follower to now latch onto those words spoken quoted by Nigel smacks of desperation and hypocrisy in there most pure forms.....however right they may be

To a degree he has a fair point a Remain win by such a small margin would mean little or no confidence in the EU......so I will allow the next bit to be edited by anybody...

A Remain defeat by such a small margin means (.................)In the EU.

 

[Questions]

I voted leave because I took the time to research the facts and came to the conclusion it was the best course of action. I may be wrong but at least my conscience is clear that I gave it my best shot.

Please tell us all the facts that you researched. I just want some clarification that I was wrong with my remain vote. Trust me there is very little on the site that supports Brexits move but please feel free to engage.
Remember it's debate , please feel free to list your exit reasons

Unfortunately the best argument against representative democracy would be a five - minute conversation with your MP ... worst form of government except all the others etc etc.

What specific facts did you base your remain vote on?

Even when I am completely bolloxed I can put a sentence together. I'm obviously not drinking enough and that will be rectified in due course

T
I know this is anecdotal, but it is the truth

Worrying Signs

This has just popped up on Facebook. I don't normally post Facebook links so I hope this works. This is incredibly concerning.

If 1 in 40 people in this country have signed the petition, it's worth taking notice of.

no it isnt
39 out of 40 havnt signed it

people didnt pay attention to those that advocated staying in the undemocratic EU and voted out
those that dont believe in democracy are voting in a petition that doesnt believe in democracy

this is all sorts of weird.

 

[Triggaaar]

The break up of the UK and the EU saying they will not give the British a good trade deal like Norway, so to make sure the contagion does not spread to the other 27 countries.

If (and we've yet to see what will happen) that's the way the EU are, I'm bloody glad we voted out.

If they don't want others to leave, they need to reform.

 

[ExmouthExile]

I voted leave on Thursday, I'd vote leave again tomorrow, not that it would be worth anything because another referendum would make an absolute mockery of our so called democratic system. Only those who have allowed themselves to be sucked into the overblown mass hysteria are the ones changing their minds.

We live in a democracy where it's vote per person, not one vote per 'A' level, so the Remain whiners should zip it.

Whilst the decision will in all probability be bad for the economy, many of those who voted out see/have seen no benefits in globalisation, free trade or migration, and therefore did what they thought was logical.


Sent from Konnie Huq's lingerie drawer.

Bit of a double edged sword this post.
whilst normaltons would agree with you its democracy so stop trying to change it,

However Brexiters do see the benefits in globalisation (but not at the cost of loss of sovereignty or democracy in this unique EU model + a raft of other stuff.....see long thread)
Brexiters also see the benefits of free trade,didnt you notice people talking about hopefully setting up free trade agreements with countries over the globe free from the shackles of the EU?
You seriously going to say Brexiters voted against this idea?. They just simply voted against free trade with the EU which came at a cost attached again of losing sovereignty and democracy,and allowing free movement. brexiters simply believed these loss of controls was too high a price to pay.

You started well but then reverted to throwing an illogical unfounded hissy with false claims

have a gin and freedom tonic and relax chap,i havnt stopped since since victory

 

[sydney]

and that is the worrying thing isn't it........there are bound to be a few instances of this sort of behaviour with such a large population involved but surely anyone who working and paying tax should not be the target of such misplaced vitriol , anyone with half a brain surely should realise that the burden placed by non-european migrants who refuse to work and rely on welfare for their income far out weighs the burden of european workers.....the problem has come from the insistance of the eu that the refugee/migrant problem must be shared throughout the region....the actions of merkel in allowing 10,000's to travel half way across europe was a catastrophic points scoring exercise that has back-fired horrendously through out the region.......britain is more or less under seige at the moment from a perceived "enemy at the gate"........this is the problem that needed addressing , also the weeding out of those who are a massive burden on our system whilst plotting it's demise....there may not be as many of them as we are led to believe , maybe less than 5000 , but these are the ones that need to be removed......furthermore the perceived notion that england's dealings with the eu are not fair and equitable has not helped the remain vote at all.......Britain has been sold a massive dummy here , with one of the main champions of the leave vote admitting , within 48 hours that he can't deliver what he said he could............can't help thinking that a lot of people voted out just to register their displeasure at the current situation without really considering that the overall out vote would be successful.

 

[pastafarian]

If the 400 odd dedicated remainers in Parliament decide to act against the clear will of the British people, we could be leading to blood on the streets as democracy breaks down,

im not one for violent political protests,i prefer the ballot box
but if parliament voted against the will of the people and simply voted away this result i will be polishing my pitchfork



Lets face it though,no politician is that thick to support this nonsense.
