Let's Get Political!

Few points from someone who voted remain but respects democracy:-
1) What positive reasons did those that wished to remain in the EU give prior to the referendum? ( Project fear was not a positive approach in my opinion)
2) Presumably those wishing to remain would have argued for a second referendum if the numbers had been reversed.
3) I am unaware of any national vote/election receiving more than 50% of the number eligable to vote. Presumably all of these occasions should have been followed by a peoples/confimation/second referendum?

Respect the result even if you don't agree. The other options lead to anarchy.

Well said.

Why do you still maintain you voted remain, after saying you voted leave, and then smugly told us you vote for Johnson as leader as he was taken to leave asap. Very strange even by the strange debating standards of the TEF.

FWIW, the whole procees after the Ref has been conducted democratically and lawfully, the sole example otherwise Johnson's unlawful proroguing of Parliament.

What should focus your mind now is the same as 3 years ago, how might leaving look, (ie what sort of deal or no deal) and how will it benefit the Brexiteers who voted for it?

.... lead to anarchy.

Let's hope so.
Modern anarchist thought is very interesting.
There's something for everyone.

The election was ultimately a minority of people preferring one bunch of cunts over another bunch of cunts.

2) Presumably those wishing to remain would have argued for a second referendum if the numbers had been reversed.

What a dumb ass presumption. Of course not.

Leavers and the likes of Farage and the ERG wouldn't have gone away though would they.

3) I am unaware of any national vote/election receiving more than 50% of the number eligable to vote. Presumably all of these occasions should have been followed by a peoples/confimation/second referendum?

That's also dumb.

Surely even you can see that a national vote is repeated every 4-5 years at maximum allowing the public to change their mind.

Its also worth pointing out that more people voted for pro remain/pro-second ref parties than didn't. It isn't relevant of course, the system is what it is and we will have to suck it up. But it shows why Johnson would never agree to a straight confirmatory Brexit vote.

Sounds about right. Even the New/Old Labour landslide under that cunt Blair had a smaller share of the vote than that Cunt Johnson.

I prefer a cunt over a prick any day. I happen to think like others that the cunt Johnson was a more palletable cunt than the prick Corbyn who tried to be gender neutral.

Still on the upside at least one red team is winning something 😁

Hello again Reg! I have consistently stated I voted remain on here, you consistently accuse me of saying I voted leave. The forum will have to judge who is telling the truth. You did not answer my basic point which is the hypocrisy of those that say they accept referendum results but don't really.
I am entitled to my opinions regarding democracy were did I mention legality in my original post?
Sad to say a large number of remainiacs paint typical leavers as thick, uneducated racist plebs who had no idea what they were voting for! I would suggest the recent general election result is all the mandate that Boris requires.
Batch great to read your reasoned argument based on "dumb ass" Ha Ha

Generally does not answer questions Rob, just asks them to be or appear to be a benign provocateur.

Well, not all of them I suppose

Though statistically the lower educated you are the more likely you are to vote Brexit - I'm not making that up (google it).

I hope to goodness that we remainers are utterly, totally wrong. I don't see it, but I wouldn't

Firstly I don’t believe it, secondly were it to be true likely because those highly educated types lack common sense and struggle to tie up their shoe laces (that’s why they wear slip-ons) google it.

I think the correlation between education and propensity to vote for Brexit is fairly well established.  See 4th para.

Of course by that reckoning Labour should have no MP’s along with the SNP. This increases the Conservative majority to a never before seen figure resulting in...Brexit and a conservative government. Result! 😁

Brexit it is. Conservative majority it is. Happy days.

I thought it was all about going back to the 'good old days'?  The days when gammons were in their prime.
