Dunno where else to post this so I’ll slap it here.

The comments section is gold. There truly isn’t a thicker demographic on the planet than daily mail readers. At least with Sun readers they tend to usually be self aware enough to know they aren't the sharpest tools in the box and are reading a paper designed for idiots.

Why would we want a deciding vote, on something that we don’t want for a grouping that we don’t wish to belong to.......

I always find this weird it’s like the UK is a vacuum without applying proper democracy. How can two countries like N.I. and Scotland vote to remain, yet “in theory” be forced to leave.

It’s massively undemocratic really, in fact it’s the very princpal of autocratic rule that people who are for Brexit are concerned that Europe will escalate to.

Maybe the UK as an entity has had its day.
 
In the future all currency will be space bytes, 2 food pills cost half a byte, all genders will be quint-sexual and mauve. The WILL of the people of Eurtopia will be aggregated by googlized algorithm.

1. Proper democracy was applied to the referendum vote. All eligible to vote within the terms of reference of membership in the UK were notified in good time of their right to vote. They had three choices:
a) vote remain;
b) vote leave
c) do not vote (abstain).

2. NI & Scotland (and Wales) all came within the ambit of the overall UK. Therefore, notwithstanding the breakdown voting in those particular areas, they were bound by the overall democratic vote of the whole of the UK. The overall decision was not to be broken down into several component parts.

3. It's not massively undemocratic. Don't know how you come by that point.
