    By the way. Can we stop using the word binary ?

    Ten years ago people just used phrases like, either or, black or white, before all these pretentious media types all signed up for yet another poncey term...
    C*nts ..

    That's a bifurcated complaint, imo.

    Yes. Or no.

    One of the two.

    Isnt that how we got ourselves in a mess with the referendum? I think each voter should have been asked to draft a paragraph outlining their views on the EU and what they would like to see happen going forward.

    If we had approached the referendum with the same number of options as, say, gender identity, the referendum would have been described as absolutely ludicrous, no doubt.

    Absolutely not. The issue with the referendum - as you well know - was that the options were 'yes' or 'an undefined no of some kind that no one really understood'.

    Quite the antithesis of binary.

    Because the consequences of a 'yes' vote were obviously clearly defined, weren't they?

    I would remind you that the same generation that voted 'Yes' in 1975 voted 'No' in 2016 in their droves because what they thought they'd voted for back then had turned into something else and they felt betrayed and cheated.

    The notion that Leave voters didn't know what they were voting for but Remain voters did doesn't stand up to a moment's serious scrutiny, I'm afraid. Just because you think you're voting for the status quo doesn't mean that's what you're going to get.
