"Like brexit, as we have seen now how it goes, who else thinks that there should be some kind of governing body that can regulate to stop these things happen?"

You mean, like maybe we each elect a representative, and they could all meet up in some kind of common house and debate the merits of the proposals? Maybe we could have another group who debate against them and hold them to account? Every few years we could repeat the process so that if one group isn't doing as we'd like we could nominate another one? Something like that perhaps?

Yes, something like that, like buying an house, you get an second opinion and if it isnt good, those can overrule it even if the others voted against it, for the better for worse.

That's why we elect parliamentarians - to consider the evidence on complex issues and reach a decision. Don't come asking me every 5 minutes what I think - that's your job.

The Brexit referendum was motivated by the interests of the Conservative Party, not those of the country. Cameron thought he could shoot the UKIP fox and end the internal unrest in the Tory Party for a generation.

No one forced anyone. Cameron offered it, because he was worried that it was costing him votes, so he offered it to stop people voting UKIP.

And people did want the referendum. It wasn't a waste of time. It showed that people wanted UKI. I.e. Brexit.

I many ways I am glad those brexiters won .If they lost by the same margin remain lost .We would have to suffer decades of them whinging and complaining and fucking farage on tv again.

At least this way they'll get brexit see it's a load of shit and before we get properly fucked over .We will rejoin and not a single leaver will ever mention it and peace and prosperity will fall upon this land once again.

Let them wait an eternity for the milk and honey to start flowing after Brexit.Because only when they reap what they've sown will they give up their nationalism and colonial nostalgia .

Good grief there really are some sick making gobshits on the internet. They really do believe that the only reason they lost the referendum was that the majority of voters were too thick to understand what they were voting for!

To be honest I think the majority of all voters probably didn’t make a considered enough decision given the size of the vote. There was certainly a lack of in-depth discussion offered by the campaigns and media. I feel more informed today than i did when I voted. And I tried to do more research than just read the papers and watch the debates.

The referendum was an excellent example of democracy in action.

The result was probably a little flawed by the Project Fear message projected by George Osbourne .

Without his dire predictions leave would problem have gained 60 % of the vote.

While different things float different people's boats differently.... for me to get so excited as you do Centy about the thought of Brexit, I'd need something tangible that I could see or feel / touch that I could say "look at this, isn't it brilliant" and it's making my life so much better....

Brexit doesn't seem to have anything tangible as such to me.... it's all about changing the economics of the country "ignoring if it's in a good way or bad" & erecting barriers all around us.

Once we leave, especially if it's a no deal Brexit, is there anything tangible that would then give you so much happiness that until that day happens you won't ?

Do you not think the leave vote would have suffered if the £350 Million a week for the NHS lies "Project Fantasy" , the outright lies that Turkey IS joining the EU - 76 million Turks will be flooding to the UK, etc had not been used, Leave lied if anything and I mean out right lied far more than the remain campaign ever did, yet no leave voter will ever acknowledge this, all they can spout is the predictions of the remain campaign while ignoring the outright lies of the leave campaign.

"72.2% was the turnout. That is a massive turnout. Far more than the turnouts for General or Local elections.

People wanted their say.Yes but even so, there might be more brexitors than remainers, everyone have to be happy living in the country, we will see a divided country forever, is it worth it?You mean if your happy, if you do not like leave and live in your EU"

If you dont like it leave the country??? Those of us who voted Remain are still citizens of the Uk who have every right to disagree with what's going on. The result didnt give people like you the right to trample over remainers' rights.

"Like brexit, as we have seen now how it goes, who else thinks that there should be some kind of governing body that can regulate to stop these things happen?"

Demormacy will always give us a split vote,who knows who’s right or wrong. You make it sound that everyone that voted for Brexit was wrong( maybe the were). If we were to set up a governing body what regulations would we ask them to look into ?

Yes, like if they have contingency plans, to see if they are ready for a no deal and before such vote to see what would happen to northern irelands border.

I've been saying it along...democracy was bad enough due to the nature of the game and sorts it attracts but it is fundamentally broken in the age of social media.

The wilfully ignorant or manipulated don't deserve to vote and the self serving masters of spin (not policy) don't deserve to play the game...simple.

Credibility weighted voting power is a way forward.

"Democracy!"

"Sovereignty!"

"Control!"

(Just if you happen to want to exercise any of those things in a way that I don't like, leave the country)

Fascist pricks.

That's why we elect parliamentarians - to consider the evidence on complex issues and reach a decision. Don't come asking me every 5 minutes what I think - that's your job.

The Brexit referendum was motivated by the interests of the Conservative Party, not those of the country. Cameron thought he could shoot the UKIP fox and end the internal unrest in the Tory Party for a generation.

The referendum simply gave every single voter in the UK a once in the lifetime decision whether to stay in or leave the EU.

Every party presented their arguments and people voted for what was best for the countries future.

The referendum was an excellent example of democracy in action.

The result was probably a little flawed by the Project Fear message projected by George Osbourne .

Without his dire predictions leave would problem have gained 60 % of the vote.Very true and so far all his predictions are proving wrong "

Ok what leave predictions are being proved right so far?

1. Economy has gone from top of G7 to bottom of G7 - Your predicted answer will be - we not left yet and when we do we will fly high. Or vote wasn't about economics it was about sovereignty - so when you possibly lose your job, your home and have good shortages - but you have got your sovereignty!

2. The pound dropped on value and continues to falter. Your predicted answer is it was "over valued" - compared to what, to when? The pound has fallen in value for the whole of my life! Clue 2s6d old money was half a $ because we used to get $4 to the pound.

3. Doing a deal with the EU is going to be the easiest deal in history - the Rd hon Liam Fox - so is it done?

4. Government is stockpiling medecines - so is that the £350m a week for the NHS?

Yes project fear has it's critics - they got it wrong to some extent the negatives were over hyped. But project fantasy is just around the corner and let's see who was right or wrong!

What impresses me is how many left wing leaving voters such as myself are now firmly supporting Tory policies. I guess this latest referendum has at least brought us together in this respect.
