Heat of the moment looking for any links to support my post, I took my eye of the link about Blair that was from the Sun I have had it removed by request -.my late father in law ex coal miner was a reader of the Sun mainly for its cryptic crossword as soon as Hillsborogh happened he droppped it like many other meseysiiders, He the bought the daily post like I used to read while living in Liverpool - I have purchased no newspapers for the last 30 years ......yet being accused as a daily fail reader on here....I’ll be honest I thought you’d know better in the first place but.....
He's spot on regarding the bubble that exists which led to no genuine plan being in place and the danger of not respecting the vote - It'll turn a lot away from mainstream parties and where do the disenfranchised go....
History folks. Know your history.

It's supposed to be the other way around Joe. You do research and then form an opinion, not form an opinion and scurry around for something to support it.
I don't get it though.
So if you don't get brexit, you will vote for something even worse and even less thought out in the future?He's spot on regarding the bubble that exists which led to no genuine plan being in place and the danger of not respecting the vote - It'll turn a lot away from mainstream parties and where do the disenfranchised go....

That coming from the best googled ever there were many links on that one post Bruce in fact just after the complaint which I took seriously I could have got an identical pint from the Daily Express - at leat Bruce I admitted my error on using a Sun link in the heat of the moment which is more than you did when you labled me an idiot you just stated you got angry .......It's supposed to be the other way around Joe.

We have not left as yet ......So if you don't get brexit, you will vote for something even worse and even less thought out in the future?
This is how Fintan O’Toole described the phenomenon in an Irish Times article which I will post in full later on as I think it is subscriber only.
Objectively, the great mystery of Brexit is the bond it created between working- class revolt on the one side and upper- class self-indulgence on the other. There would seem to be an unbridgeable gulf of style and manner – let alone of actual economic interests – between the stockbroker superciliousness of Nigel Farage or the self-parodic snootiness of Jacob Rees-Mogg on the one side and the raw two-fingered defiance of working-class patriotism on the other. Brexit depended on an ostensibly improbable alliance between Sunderland and Gloucestershire, between hard old steel towns and rolling Cotswold hills, between people with tattooed arms and golf club buffers.

all those other elections are about more than one question, have a tribal element like no Tories around here in Liverpool , for instance I don't really agree with some of the labour party on some issues, but would never vote tory.Those 'voiceless' people had the same level of 'voice' in the referendum as they have every five years in a general election or in local elections, or in EU elections. To suggest they've been disenfranchised for aeons and this crappy referendum was them finally being given a say is absurd.

This referendum had one question in or out , wasn't a party issue and had working class and Tories on both sides so not like any of those other elections at all, in that it was a one off, we were not voting to put the Tories in power for ever for instance in a general election .
Are you suggesting we have a referendum every 5 years on this subject?
If not the people with no voice have indeed not being listened to ,
Who will grant them the chance to have a say again, and how could anyone convince them it wasn't futile to engage with the establishment unless you voted the way they wanted anyway, making it a waste of time.
I haven't any objection to a second vote if they have the right questions on it, (don't no what those would be) but going with your line of thought it would be fine for parliament to ignore it if the wanted to , unless it went your/ there way of cause..
