I used the word clique for a reason, because the powers that be within this organization are a clique within a larger clique. A small bunch of faceless bureaucrats who most people wouldn't recognise if they bumped into on the street have almost complete power and control over 28 nations and are accountable to nobody. Now thank the Lord we've voted to leave it'll be 27! :celebrate:
Play with words all you want mate, my meaning was perfectly clear.

Purely a personal opinion, but I honestly believe that a lot of Leave voters have seen the problems that we now face. And I honestly believe a lot now regret their vote, with the salami slicing deconstruction of some key Leave promises. And the laissez faire way those revelations have been laughed away.

I would not be astonished if an early GE was forced, or even called, with both Labour and Tory on the same Remain ticket. Libs and SNP are obvs nailed on for that.

I think that Farages antics in the European Parliament today would have shocked many who "voted for him", (of course, they didnt actually, but you get the point). Johnson has been remarkably quiet for a victor.

Like most, I am not a fervent supporter of the EU, and like even more, I actually took a considerable amount of time to arrive how to vote. I think a lot did not, and there is now little appetite, outside of the politically engaged minority, to leave.

Since you asked.

Not so sure myself. I can't see the logistics of it happening. The only ways it could happen would be if another referendum was called, or if it was blocked through parliament. The general public, surely, would feel very let down by either of these events. It would play into the hands of Farage and UKIP. Imagine how he would whip up a storm?

Ok mate, I'll break it down for you. The EU is the collective body of the current 28 member states. The EU itself is run by the following five institutions: The European Council, the council of the European Union, The European Parliament, the European Commission and the European Court of Justice. Our good friend Jean-Claude Junker is the current president of the commission, just as the the equally revolting Martin Schultz is the president of the European Parliament. Does that clear anything up mate?

Parliament can vote for an early GE. With probably both major parties having new leaders, you could argue that is justified. I think in these ferbile times, a majority of MPs across party lines would see the issue of EU membership as more important than a budget or a boundary change.

It is seismic.

I totally respect your opinion, but in essence, I think an awful lot of folk did not vote with the clarity of thought or grasp of the wider issues that you and I did.

And they now regret it.

The will of the people? Get that. How about asking them, "Are you sure?"

No harm in that surely.
