And equally that sovereign parliament has the right to decide it made a mistake and change it's mind. 48 minutes ago, nauseus said: The referendum result was for leave, both the high turnout and result shows that a vote was desired, well overdue and entirely necessary. Leavers still want to leave: after more than 3 years they have a democratic right to blame any party that attempts to obstruct this from happening. You do indeed have a democratic right to blame any party that attempts to obstruct this - please use it at the next election. What you don't have a democratic right to do is force anyone to do anything. See my first point above . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is that Brexiteers think it’s up to them and their corrupted opinion poll to decide. The European Union Referendum Act handed the decision to the people. One problem with remainers is that they now think the referendum was merely an opinion poll, which was also somehow corrupted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Self-righteous remainers, who lost, now call the referendum with the biggest vote in UK history an "opinion poll"! Then they try and get it overturned because it suits them. What a shower! I have decided that this is my opinion and the decision to form this opinion was made entirely by me, myself and Irene. Maybe we should have a referendum on whether to have a GE? But I suppose that would be ignored too. Didn,t Boris offer a general election and the remainer s bottled it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The British constitution is under pressure like possibly never before, all brought about by an unnecessary and corrupted referendum. Brexiteers reap what they sew and have no one else to blame. Corrupted referendum,?right on mate,totally agree the lies of project fear were an absolute disgrace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cameron abused his position for party reasons to create a dreadful situation in making that silly opinion poll. The best thing to do would be to drop the whole nonsense at the open of business tomorrow, and then if the mood in the country really supports leaving the EU, do it again, but this time do it properly.
