Welcome back Wayne
Settle down lads. Turnout was 76%, Leave got 53.9%, Remain came second.........
Mate Did you not notice that bit where I accepted that writ large ? The poster recommended we google , we did he was wrong . I appreciate people make mistakes but untruths pepper this debate and it’s frustrating.
I consider you the significantly more reasonable debater out of you two I tried , as I always do to be polite , we don’t have to agree but it’d be nice if people accepted they were wrong . Whether that’s for sticking a number on the side of a bus , lying about meeting the Russian ambassador, Osborne and his emergency budget or electiorial figures .
You seem an intelligent enough bloke and although we disagree we can debate , although it seems we are living in a post truth era people can’t complain when they're pulled up for being wrong then double down on it so get pulled up again . With the obvious exception of POTUS obviously.
Yes ok I got the turn out figure mixed up,but still the valid point that 53 percent of his constituents voted OUT-
Eurosceptics pointed out his Bracknell seat voted 53 per cent MP stephen Lee had the gall to resign -
Zac goldsmith an age ago wanted accountability of MPs here's a good reason why - it is more than the final vote of 52/48 % in favour of out -
May should have not bottled it today, and gone for an election Mps like him and Soubry need the big kicking out of parliment , and the speaker who is pro EU who is supposed to be neutral needs the boot too!
75% Turn out still 53% of his constituency that he represents voted out most MPs have no morals end of!
People on the remain side forget they lost by over one million votes......
little bit of a difference there though mate!

Perhaps, but one post is enough to draw attention to an incorrect figure, when everyone jumps in and says the same thing then it becomes a bit of overkill. I’m sure Joey will respond though......
no difference his constituency voted OUT
sorry I got the high turn out 75% versus 53 percent higher than the Brexit outcome, but the argument stands he went against his constituency!
If I was a Remainer I would be fuming if my MP went against the democrocy of the people....
which would you rather his constituency by 6%, and of course there is no rule that states he has to follow their uneducated opinion, that is kind of what MP's are for, or his conscience?

Ironically, Lee put his integrity and honesty ahead of his career, refused to back the Govts position and was steadfast in his view that the public should have the opportunity to have their say on the final Brexit deal.
That’s not a betrayal of his duties as a MP, in fact it’s quite the converse. The fact that his own constituency voted for Brexit 2 years ago was completely irrelevant to his stance.
He has no conscience...
suits you sir suits you.......
