SnailyBoy Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 (edited) I think that the will of the 17.4 million who took the time to vote Brexit should be paramount. It really is as simple as that. It trumps (no pun intended) all other decisions taken to water down the referendum. Angel1. We're leaving the EU. However, none of the leave/remain voters knew what leave would look like.

Top Cats Hat Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 I think that the will of the 17.4 million who took the time to vote Brexit should be paramount. Even more than the will of the 29.1 million who didn't vote for it? You have a very strange idea of democracy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I1L2T3 Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 Brexiters still don’t comprehend they were sold a pup. It’s incredible watching this unfold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tzijlstra Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 Brexiters still don’t comprehend they were sold a pup. It’s incredible watching this unfold. It's false pride. This is what you get with patriotism, it prevents you to admit you are wrong because you'd be against the country for whatever reason. Irrelevant of the outcomes, this is exactly what drove Nazism across the continent in the 20s/30s. And no, I am not calling Brexiteers Nazis, I am calling them affected by the same social construct.

BRINO, bad-deal, no-deal. Their problem now, and I think this is starting to dawn on some, is they're more likely than not going to end up looking like complete plums regardless of what unfolds going forward.

Mister Gee Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 As does Jessa, who apparently voted to leave, god preserve democracy. I'm sure Corbyn voted remain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calahonda Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 I'm sure Corbyn voted remain. Really, do you have a link? And before you ask, although I recall that he favoured leaving, I don’t have a link either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Litotes Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 So... Current position IMHO The democratic choice of the people who voted in the 1970s is being ignored. The leavers don't know how they will solve the Irish Border problem and thus are quite willing to disrespect those that died in the troubles to get it in place by ignoring it Less than half the population voted to leave Those that did vote to leave weren't sure of what their leaving present would look like Now it isn't what they wanted, they are complaining Brexit will have a huge short/medium term negative impact on the UK which may take decades (if at all) to recover from (we are already seeing the impact of it across the board). There is no coherent and plausible budget proposal showing how this will benefit the country The democratic wishes of the people to have a say in the final proposal is being ignored The democratic wishes of the people for a second referendum is being ignored Have I missed anything?

I do hope that you're not just assuming those 29.1 million people are remainers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
