Despite everything else.

The UK voted to leave the EU and last night the pm has pushed back that action again simply based on a hope.

Democracy is dead in the UK

What spectacular nonsense.
‘I said I wanted to move home but then I didn’t do it the next day to live on the street so I clearly don’t want to’

It's all part of a cunning plan to push things out to about the five year mark, at which point they can draw comparison with our ability to democratically change our minds in a general election and they can hold a referendum to bury this nonsense and shove democracy down no one can really complain that it wasn't democratic man.
 
The more humane way, would be to place a massive vat of beer in his back garden and drown him.

At least he would die happy.

[Poor language removed] humanity man. We're free to take back control and be unconscionable swines to our hearts content. The only choice you'll have is whether you want to be stamped by my right boot or left boot.
 
DEMOCRACY
Greenland became the first and only country to leave the EEC by popular decree after a referendum was held in 1982. As part of the Danish Kingdom, Greenland had joined the Community in 1973 even though its citizens had voted against membership. Six years later, Denmark granted home rule to the island and a referendum was held, resulting in 52 percent of Greenlanders voting in favour of leaving, the same number as the UK vote. The relatively close result, says Vesterbirk, “had an enormous influence on the atmosphere. We were told again and again that the minority was just as big as the majority and we couldn’t do it,” he says. “I guess you will hear that in Britain as well. It’s the drawback of referendums in a democracy. You have to take it seriously, you have to live with the fact that the majority is the majority.”
