Yes but that is just everyone you know. The majority of people in the UK did not vote for it so why should the majority of UK citizens be held to ransom by a shouty minority? 😳

Over a million more people voted to Leave the EU trash than those who voted to Remain.

 

17.4 million people are being held to ransom by a wealthy minority.

We're all being held to ransom by the Tories and their rich hedge fund financiers.

The majority who could vote won , so how ever you put it democracy should be observed.

It should.

 

So tell me why the last two democratically elected parliaments have been dissolved early by the Tories. 
 

Then tell me why we have to vote again and again for a Parliament that fits the referendum result. 
 

All you leavers have a very odd and damaging view of democracy

Because we have to keep voting until the leavers get the result they want, the very thing they accuse remainers of wanting, three general elections in four years, ludicrous. Hypocrisy at it's very best.

So should the EU ask for its subsidies back?

Surely that depends on who paid for those subsidies in the first place!

So what is it, the majority of people or the majority of citizens? Not that it matters much as it the majority of votes on the day that counts and they were in favour of leave!

It was the rich hedge fund financiers that gave most of the money to the remain camp so something is not right there.

As Litotes keeps saying, democracy is not democracy if you can't change your mind and as that is what has been happening what's the problem?

The problem there is the leavers or remainers do not get to chose even when it comes to a GE, only parliament do.

“When it comes to workers’ rights, the EU isn’t God. The fact is local authorities up and down the UK have to outsource contracts to the European Union at the detriment of workers in their local communities. We have seen a rise of zero-hours contracts and poor conditions partly because of that outsourcing.”

 

Caroline Flint MP, October 2019.

 

The EU is partly responsible for zero-hours contracts. It's part of the four freedoms for business, which is the main reason the EU even exists.

Partly.

By far and away the biggest donation to remain was Lord Sainsbury - I think we can work out where his money came from.

 

But as you can clearly see I was referring to the current situation in 2019 and funding of the Tories (and especially the ERG) - not the two camps in the referendum.

Simply... a lie!

 

Usage/legality is entirely down to member states, nothing whatsoever to do with the EU or the four freedoms.
