It's a shame that May is so principled. She obviously feels she now has to honour that decision based upon erroneous thinking and poor knowledge. You can see why we don't do referenda very often. |

In this case it was a majority of 1269500 more than one. You might not like it but that's the way it is so get used to it cos it ain't gonna change no matter how big a tantrum you throw. Any one who looks at the front pages of the moronic brexit press can see that they are wetting their pants having realised that their pre and post brexit agendas are just a waste of news print and the time and intelligence if they have any of their readers. I cannot wait for brexit light. Nice to know that you would have accepted a vote of 1 to remain . |

re: Post EU Referendum
I wonder what the world would look like today if Columbus, Magellan, Cook etc had been remainers?

It seems the only ones wetting their pants are the doubters. You just have not stopped.

I'd say you're throwing the biggest tantrum of all tantrums in the entire history of tantrum throwing....... if not, why aren't you accepting the democratic decision to leave made by a significant majority of the electorate?

: 52% of 72% is not "a significant majority of the electorate". Only 72% of the electorate voted in the first place. So Leave got 52% of that vote, so that means about 37% of the electorate voted to leave. |

What's relevant is the rules state a majority of just 1 carries the vote & the majority that carried the vote to leave was 1269500 more than one so that's an end to the matter. Simple. |

Apparently the meaning of words is also irrelevant. It may, however, prove not to be irrelevant when a general election comes along, which will almost certainly happen before any Brexit has happened. Maybe even more than one. Ditto during actual negotiations for said Brexit. |
re: Post EU Referendum
A vote to proceed with Brexit is meaningless as no one , not even are brexiters has a clue what brexit will actually mean.
It will be you and your fellow travellers who will be really pissed when you realise that it will not come remotely close to being anything like a Daily Moron or Ukip express scenario you voted for. May is not that stupid although some of her brexit ministers obviously are. |

I'm sure a significant percentage of the electorate would (at the very least) want to see the 'right to family life' loophole scrapped & replaced with the principle of deport the immigrant offender & if the family want to stay with him/her, they're perfectly welcome to bugger off as well.
There is no right to family life in the UK for those who have a non-EU spouse unless you earn at least £18,600 a year, which 51% of uk workers don't. The Home Office argued in a Parliamentary Committee that if Brits want to live with those spouses, they can do so outside the UK. |
