truman   10 #673 Posted July 12, 2018 It's nothing to do with your elders know better. Until the voting age is lowered then like you and me who couldn't vote until we were 18 they have to except the outcome of election results. They may not like the outcome but they will have their chance to vote and change things in future elections.  Is there to be a future referendum to rejoin the EU?

Top Cats Hat   10 #674 Posted July 12, 2018 they have to except the outcome of election results.  This wasn't an election, it was an advisory referendum which showed that 39% of the electorate expressed a desire to leave the EU.

Magilla   510 #675 Posted July 12, 2018 (edited) It was interesting to hear on the news what President Trump's interpretation of BREXIT is. He believes those who voted to leave the EU wanted out.  Trump does have a perchance for "alternative facts"  I think if every poster was honest on here, instead of posting nonsense about what it didn't say on the ballot paper, then we would all agree with President Trump, regardless of the way we personally voted.  Not at all, Trump is invariably wrong, on this he is demonstrably so.  Does that honesty also extend to Obergruppenführer Lockdoctor?

Top Cats Hat   10 #676 Posted July 12, 2018 what President Trump's interpretation of BREXIT is. He believes those who voted to leave the EU wanted out.  NOBODY knows what those who voted leave were voting for, as different people voted for different reasons. I personally know two people who voted leave purely to aid the demise of the Tory party.  There is no single answer as to what people wanted so some bozo that doesn't read and can't tie his shoe laces certainly doesn't. Remember when the referendum result was announced, Trump had to have it explained to him as he didn't even know that a vote was being held.  Looking at him speaking on the news just now, he doesn't seem to have any real clue what 'the Brexit' is about.

hobinfoot   25 #679 Posted July 12, 2018 Is there to be a future referendum to rejoin the EU? Nobody knows but the 16-17 year olds back in 2016 will get a vote if there is. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
truman   10 #680 Posted July 12, 2018 Nobody knows but the 16-17 year olds back in 2016 will get a vote if there is.  So as there's always a GE every 5 years the sentiment in your post #670 isn't really relevant to the EU referendum..those that were 16-17 year old 2 years ago who will be most affected by the result won't have a say......how fair is that?

I think most people around the World assumed when the UK democratically voted to leave the EU, it meant the majority of UK voters wanted the UK to leave the EU.

Bob Arctor   11 #682 Posted July 12, 2018 I think most people around the World assumed when the UK democratically voted to leave the EU, it meant the majority of UK voters wanted the UK to leave the EU.  Of which there are various permutations because there are a number of institutions and agreements that go to make up "the EU".

ANGELFIRE1 Â Â 10 #684 Posted July 12, 2018 Thank you for the educating posts, very informative. So I could say then, the 29,000,000 we are discussing were actually Brexiteers and not Remaoners. Â Angel1. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
