The poll was just a suggestion, there is nothing legally binding about it. We elect people to make these decisions.

I bet they would too
So they should want a political elite that only pays attention to referendums and votes when it swings they way they like then?
The moral outrage and ownership of right and wrong by the left-wing never ceases to amaze.
What like Farage did at the prospect of a 52-48 result the other way?
The referendum was to appease some members of the Conservative party.
Ffs, so many awful permutations from this outcome.The french parliament didn't followed the referendum in 2005. We didn't complained.
I can only get so erect.
Like De Gaulle used to back in the day?
That day would become a national holiday.I bet they would too
Now I've got soda coming out of my nose... it ain't comfortable.There was very little in the result and it was swung by lies. If they had won fair and square I'd have no qualms about the result.
In a way we're helping them get independence so they should thank us I say
If it still exists in its present form in 10 years, and that's far from certain, Europe would welcome back the prodigal with open arms. The EU is stronger with Britain than without it.
The fact you keep making this about the 'left wing' shows just how warped you are.
These labels are pointless and have been for years.
What you call "a political elite" I call an elected representative legislature.
You're aware that the UK is a representative democracy and not a direct democracy right? It would be Parliament actually doing its job...
Brilliant post Zarlak, I completely agree. This vote is a damning indictment on post-Industrial Britain and how we, as a society have pro(re)gressed since the advent of Thatcher and her neoliberal reforms. What should have been the start of a new era with Blair, just sank further into some morally ambiguous ideological sinkhole, with policies being neither here nor there, and the toxic legacy of the Iraq War being felt to this day, and will continue to be felt by the coming generations...
... In the end, I am just saddened by it all.
As Alan Partridge once said - "Some people..."
It depends on why they didn't vote.
For example the Times (I think) reported that there were some at Glastonbury who said they would vote Remain but hadn't sorted our a postal vote or proxy and some will be the people caught in London who couldn't vote.
But yes, its hard to say which way the people that were so thick to not bother even voting on this would have gone.
Yes I am 'warped', as a matter of fact for 12 years I have been a member of the largely right-wing party that is in government in Norway currently.
And we have exactly the same left-wing here that you have there. The very same left-wing wanted to put our TWO public votes about not joining the EU aside and let the political establishment decide "what was best for the people" here as well.
When conservative or right-wing political parties does stuff like that it is called fascism, when the liberals and the left-side does it, then it is called "what is best for the people"
Why not imagine a Bankrupt Scotland 10 years down the line begging for Union with England, I mean that is how Scotland joined the Union in the first place so its not as far fetched.
But however the victory was won, you'd find reasons to say it wasn't 'fair and square'. So your phony allegiance to fairness will never get in the way of your prejudices.
Based on what exactly?
Nice conjecture. Tell us another one.
You went off on one there. I didn't deny there is parties who align themselves as left or right wing (or centrist).
I mean individual people are not necessarily left or right wing - they vote or would vote for a range of things that contradict the political compass. So calling the remainers 'left wing' is just lazy and dumb. Plenty of conversative wanted to remain too you eejit.
It wasn't. Working class, labour supporters in the north were part of the leave vote but most of Labour voted remain. Most of the Conservative party voted leave. Particularly, the old stupid tory vote.
Feelings, things and stuff.
Accusing the left of fascism for wanting to fight a result being celebrated by fascists across EuropeI say a group of about 100 conservative MP's caused this referendum to happen. Cameron relented, and we'll have to suffer the consequences. This is hardly democratic.
The public was duped with many falsehoods. Many brexit voters made their decisions for reasons beyond anything to do European Union.

Why not imagine England 10 years down the line colonizing an independent Northern Ireland...
Based on the splenetic illogicality of your posts.
His legacy shattered by a stupid, arrogant gamble
Ahh just assumptions then
I'm not bad tempered, nor am I illogical thank you.
Daily Mail: Cards reading 'go home scum' posted through Polish doors
Its amazing what gets you hard.
I see that most of the people that want a re-vote have no problem calling the people who voted to leave 'racists' 'uneducated pillocks' and the like, so I guess grouping the people who voted remain for largely left-wing isn't far off.
I won't even comment on the namecalling since I largely don't care much for such simpleton behaviour.
Yes, everyone opposed to the EU is fascist. And being against people wanting to throw democracy and a legal vote overboard just since the result didn't swing the way they wanted is also clearly fascist.
I find the wonkyness of them cutouts extremely disturbing
Are the Mail complaining because they own the copyright or something?
My people came here from Ireland and Scotland, so...
It's photoshopped, isn't it?
