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.

4 distinct countries with their own culture, traditition, history and ethnicity. Two of those countries wish to remain in Europe, they can’t due gerrymandering. That’s not democracy it’s autocratic rule.

The voting block is as follows:

England 84.1%
Scotland 8.3%
Wales 4.8%
N.I. 2.8%

The U.K. Is not a democracy all it’s citzens don’t have equal rights. If your from Scotland and your country votes to remain in Europe, it doesnt matter.

It’s political apartheid.

Unless they want a banana republic?
 
Anyone brings up anything and it's this.

Do you lot really believe this is how debate works? Honestly?


Have you read my post where I went into detail about the democratic vote? Post #22687 on page 1512.

The guy did not respond in any way shape or form to my point about the democratic vote. Instead, he replied with this: "...'cos the Daily Mail and Rupert Murdoch conned the great unwashed to buy in to their xenophobic agenda..."

I have no problem with people not being happy with the outcome (that has been ongoing since 24th June last year), but for you to question me as to how debate works...

Exactly what I did there, well noticed. Bet you a tenner if it was a post longer than 17 words you'd actually misinterpret whatever you want out of about 3 words you've seen, as it is the agenda.

Just like I told you when I wrote a massive post about a ton of things I find wrong with that and your (might be Joey's, not 100% on this) reply was "well leave won though so it doesn't matter".

Then I did the same thing, more fool me, earlier this week - got the same reply, this time defo not off you.

Honestly, that's how debate works? Should've stuck to "no mate you're dead wrong now shut up" every time anyone posts anything I don't agree with.

And yes, asking you, who uses "no point in discussing this with you anymore" in a demeaning manner, not only in this case, but in many others. Disclaimer: might not be the same words, but words used to the same effect.

But I guess leave won, that's what you wanted, doesn't matter what anyone says as if it doesn't suit your agenda - everything changes in this miraculous unicorn of a 'debate' you have in your head.
