June 2015: Parliament votes for EU referendum

[Ash]

June 2016: Leave wins referendum

June 2017: Public given chance to vote for pro-leave or pro-remain parties at General Election. Pro-leave parties win 84% of the vote share

August 2017: Opinion polls show 70% of people want UK to honour the referendum result, regardless of which way they voted

And yet absolute ****s like this STILL claim there's no mandate for leaving. Unbelievable. Just unbelievable.

I heard there is an attempt to set up a new party to specifically reverse the referendum result. The name? Democratic Party.

yep - as much as I would agree with the efforts to reverse Brexit/stop it* happening a little bit of self awareness would not go amiss there would it. Useless ****


*and I would count myself among the 70 per cent who want the referendum honoured

I don't particularly want it honoured but I believe it needs to be. I also don't want to have to deal with the fall out of it being ignored.

Yes "want" is possibly the wrong word. Though, while I would understand why the you can't just have referendums willy-nilly, it's very interesting that people like Monty who evoke the whole "it's the will of the people" meme, are absolutely terrified that that the will of people in August 2017 might be sufficiently different to that of June 2016, to reverse the decision. Funny old game democracy

Well it was a very tight decision in the first place. It may well go the other way if we did it again (I suspect not, but you never know).

On balance, they waited ****ing years for a vote and they won it, albeit narrowly. Kind of has to happen now if only to honour the process.
