"We scheme to take out leaders of countries we perceive to be corrupt. We invade countries that are not democratic and oust their leaders. We hold a referendum. The minority thinks the majority made a mistake. The minority thinks they did not educate/ convince the majority well enough. The minority is shaming the majority into justifying why they voted the way they did. Who the fuck are these geniuses that want to rewrite the text books of governance and democracy?" You're over thinking. It's called throwing the toys out of the pram. | |||

"If what you say is true why do the majority feel they need to justify their actions? It's enough just to say the majority vote won, here is our coherent, sensible plan that we had worked out from the day we started campaigning, surely." The majority don't. The minority keep bitching on about it and throwing out insults before retreating back to the corner for a bit more thumb sucking. I just want to get back on with life and enjoy it. | |||

"If what you say is true why do the majority feel they need to justify their actions? It's enough just to say the majority vote won, here is our coherent, sensible plan that we had worked out from the day we started campaigning, surely." Good question. My answer to that is simple. The losing side is making so much noise, you'd think they won. As a result there seems to be what I call 'campaigning after the elections'. This is poisoning the air, making it difficult for the 'winners' to implement or get on with whatever great plans they have. | |||

Only a vociferous minority of the minority keep asking for justification. I'm tired of the hitching...from both sides. We need a plan and we need it fast. | |||

Was that the hypocrisy of which you speak? Farage stated that if the vote was 52/48 for remain he would be calling for another referendum. He made this call (or threat) before the count was anywhere near underway. So what's your point? There's a lot of noise. It's early days. It will die down. | |||

Potentially. .. depends if those money grabbing mps can actually do the job they're paid to do, instead of raking it in whilst letting the EU do the work... Obviously Cameron has already answered that question, who will grow a pair and take on the task?? | |||

"I'm believed passionately in voting Remain. I think the UK public for it badly wrong, but I accept the vote and hope for a period of quiet to see whether this mess can be sorted. I don't want a second referendum. However, if the result had been 52:48 for remain, do you seriously think the leave camp would have gone quietly? Farage himself had already said that result was "unfinished business" and there would have been stacks of stories about postal vote fraud, vote rigging and the scandal of extending the voting deadline. It would have been like a David Icke forum on here for weeks." The pencils would have gone down in political mythology. No mention of them now though  | |||

The minority is shaming the majority into justifying why they voted the way they did. Who the fuck are these geniuses that want to rewrite the text books of governance and democracy?" They are people who clearly do not believe in democracy my good man... QED. And if I may point out your comment about invading countries that are NOT democratic and ousting their leaders, we actually have a very strong record of ousting democratically elected leaders. The Shah of Iran was a democratically elected leader, women wore dresses and went to university and became doctors and lawyers, but of cours he had to go because we wanted OUR companies to run and control THEIR oil resources. Or we could talk about the Ukraine, CIA funded coup so Joe Biden's son can be on the board of directors of half the new companies that have sprung up to, you guessed it, control THEIR resources. Then we could talk about evil people like the russians and chinese, who dare to place their national borders near hundreds (literally) of US bases. Then we have none other than Schults, president of the eu parliament, who also (in line with the whining bremain types) does not believe in democracy, as he just stated, quote "The British have violated the rules. It is not the EU philosophy that the crowd can decide its fate" end quote | |||

The issue was always that the campaigns on both sides were coalitions that would never and likely could never form an electable working coalition for government. No one can be elected to deliver all the promises of leave and because a lot of it was campaign rhetoric with no chance of being implemented there was never going to be a plan. If we don't issue an Article 50 notice soon how long will the electorate wait? The next General election is now closer than 2020 and we face having no one ready to mount a campaign. Farage will finally get his much longed for seat by standing in Boston - he has the figures now for where the country will return UKIP candidates. | |||

" It would have been like a David Icke forum on here for weeks. You sure it's not going to be? "No, because although remain voters are certainly not letting it lie, there's few if any mentions of it being an unfair election. Leave were constantly dropping mentions of postal vote rigging, saying that the extended deadline was unfair, making people bring their own pencils/pens etc. I'm not actual being critical of leavers for gearing up to do that in the event of a disappointing, tight loss. It's kinda natural. I just me it'd have been no different the other way around. | |||

"Well the majority that voted brexit are from deprived areas. So it is hard for them to understand what is best for the country. Most academics and student wanted to be in. That explains alot, cos they think of the future." People I know who voted Brexit Shag are not from deprived areas or poor. They voted out because they were concerned about immigration. The irony is these people are second/third generation immigrants who are now wondering what they've done as they voted out to protect their kids from those coming here wanting to force a way of life they're running from only to now be racially abused in the streets. Some people take exception when you say it's like turkeys voting for Christmas, but that's the first thought that sprang to mind when they started lamenting. | |||

Yes Boris worked it well and as much as i don't like Cameron it was sad to see his old friend do what he did, the fact he is disloyal should fuck him up with his party...i hope. 6 months from now when Great Britain ain't any greater we can ask ourselves why we voted out, the leave party have now got to get credibility quickly & do some of the things promised...but don't hold your breath as they ain't got a clue. | |||

I was born in the Empire. It's a subject I know quite well. I am not saying that some things left behind have not continued to be used and countries have grown from it. BUT, I also know about the cost of that. It's funny that those who voted out and also claim it's to make Britain 'great' again seem to think Empire and subjugating others was a good thing. Indenture only ended in the Empire in 1917 - 99 years since Britain stopped owning people. | |||

There's a lot of noise. It's early days. It will die down. All the SNP figures they bandied about pre the referendum for independence were total crap given the oil price now. They now want another go so good luck if the Scots want to Vote in a massive recession ..
As in like... good luck to the Brexiters for voting in a recession?"Did you hear Farage on Sunday? He said we'd probably have another recession but that in no way, absolutely no way, would it be related to Brexit. | |||

"...... As in like... good luck to the Brexiters for voting in a recession? Did you hear Farage on Sunday? He said we'd probably have another recession but that in no way, absolutely no way, would it be related to Brexit. "The issue revolves around the single market. We can exist outside of the EU, others do so and we could too. Not being part of the single market would be extremely damaging to the UK economy and that is fairly undisputed. We are told that access to single market will involve a fee (about what we pay now) and freedom of movement (exactly what we have now). If the Brexit team are unable to sway the EU from that default position and therefore insist that the UK also leaves the single market then a recession like we have not seen before WILL happen. In reality, even the Brexit team would not be so stupid as to land us with that and even if they did no UK parliament - Commons or Lords - would sanction a move that would consign the country to destitution. | |||

"the leave party....ain't got a clue." What? Didn't they just win a referendum? They made more than 50% of the electorate vote against their future - against the advice of just about everyone? I would say they have lots of clues. It was this sort of complacency that got us here. Wake up please. | |||

Considering the leave campaign was hardly articulate or convincing it makes me wonder what it was that persuaded more than half the voting population to select that as a course of action. Whether you agree with this choice or not it's actually quite remarkable. | |||

"I honestly think 52% of the voters made the wrong decision. I don't think if remain had won with 52% the leavers would be thinking the right decision was made because there was a majority. I do respect the leave side won though and don't want another referendum. The people of the UK have spoken. Wrongly in my view, but you have to respect their decision. Now get on with it. There'll be no using the EU as an excuse once we're gone, so we can get a real picture of how well our politicians are doing. Interesting times "I'm really interested in seeing how this turns out, I guess we will see if we are better or worse off. If we are better off I'll happily eat my words. If we are worse if I can't promise I won't say I told you so. | |||

I just said that they have manipulated the British public brilliantly. I don't know what will happen next, but I really doubt that another referendum will get a different result. | |||
