I voted to remain.

The Country voted to leave.

How can anyone who bleats on about democracy take the position, like the Lib Dems, that we will not leave.

If there is the need for further referendums, then surely it is on the basis of HOW we leave and not IF.

Seems like a lot of Remainers are total hypocrites, jumping on the undemocratic actions of the PM when they are promoting going against the democratic will of the Country.

ADVISORY REFERENDUMS ARE NOT DEMOCRATIC

"Seems like a lot of Remainers are total hypocrites, jumping on the undemocratic actions of the PM when they are promoting going against the democratic will of the Country."

That has nothing to do with today though. You're equating a legal argument to a political one there. Your feelings on the latter should not influence your feelings on the former, although I agree it clearly has in a lot of peoples cases (on both sides).

You cant be that blind can you?

The vote to leave was campaigned by getting us a deal. That vote to leave became void when they decided to leave without a deal. How many of the 17.4mil or whatever cast a vote that day to leave expecting to leave without a deal?

I voted leave, the country voted leave.

We were lied too. Now i would vote remain, i suspect many many other would too.

Democracy isn't something stuck in time, it's a constant ever changing process.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
If you love this country more than the EU, then you should be fuming at what is happening.

Failure to implement the result of a democratic vote will cause untold damage both now and in the future.

Far worse than the worst case of a no deal scenario.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
What if, and hear me out here, there was a second vote, and Leave lost, and are no longer the majority. What would you say then? Is that not democratic? What would make the previous leave vote more legitimate, especially as now the public are a lot more informed on what they are voting for.

You are just making stuff up as you go along.
The people were given the decision on whether to leave or remain.
Based on that decision, parliament then set the terms of leaving - with or without a deal.
And yes, we would have got a good deal if not for the actions of Remainer MPs who have done everything in their power to frustrate us leaving.

You can't just turn around and claim the result void because we can't get a deal when you Remainers have been actively undermining the current PM from getting a good deal.

That's not how democracy works.
First, you implement the result of the first vote.
If people change their mind in another vote, then so be it.

If the ERG didn’t constantly vote down the WA with Labour then we would’ve left. It’s the Tory leavers that have frustrated your beloved Brexit mate.

posted on 24/9/19

It is always interesting when you get a leave voter that can read and write (to a basic standard) and can join in these debates on forums, with normal people.

It's like if dogs could talk like humans. It would be cool for novelty value, but they would not be able to offer reasonable debate. Still fun though.

The NHS getting more money, more control over our borders, Turkey joining the EU, The EU Army etc etc

In reality it would shaft the NHS with staff levels already a massive issue, immigration will continue it would likely mean less European migrants and more from the RotW.

According to you but according to us that is how it works. So now we are in the realm of opinion.

They're setting out their stall as the remain party for the one inevitable general election that is to come in the next 3/4 months.

If a party who hasn't been in power for over 100 years wins the election on the back of pledging to remain the EU, then I'd say that's evidence the people have changed their mind and democracy in action.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Whether the PM was found to have erred in law or not, the accusation of MPs and many others is that the PM was being anti-democratic in his actions. The recourse is only a legal one, driven by the view that his actions were undemocratic.

Was that a lie or are you disputing the numbers?

Gross weekly contribution to the EU in 2016 was £376m.
And if you read that bus sign again, it clearly stated £350m "could" be spent on the NHS.

However, this is nothing compared to the numerous lies told by the Remain camp.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
The WA is not Brexit.
It kept us in the SM & CU. This is contrary to what was campaigned upon during the referendum where all major actors stated clearly that a vote to Leave is a vote to quit the SM & the CU.
Also, cutting off NI was clearly a line crossed that no patroit of any nation should sign.
