Current Affairs EU In or Out

[Toffeelover]

Well in that case, my issue lies with those who voted leave in protest, or without really knowing what they voted for.

You should always vote for what you think is right, not simply to 'get at' a government. Those who voted leave or remain with conviction have done the right thing.

Those who've protest-voted have not done the right thing, for me at least.

The fact that the day after the referendum "what is the EU?" was the most googled thing in the UK says a lot. People have voted while totally uninformed. That's down to both campaigns and the government.

I knew what I was voting for, no question of that, I think my posts previously have made it clear.

You do me a disservice Groucho. I have morals and an acute awareness of what is right and wrong. When I say I would have accepted the result in good grace, then that is exactly what I would have done.......

Likewise.

Ok then fair enough.

Since June 23rd the pound has hit a 31 year low against the dollar, it's never got anywhere near 'fluctuating' back to where it was prior to June 23rd.

In short you're talking out yer hoop.

Look, while he did not speak to you in a nice way, can we leave this out?

Is there any legal justification for a revote?

The referendum had/has no legal standing whatsoever it was advisory.

True, but it's unlikely to be redone or overturned.

A simple question George would be "Why?" but then there would not be a simple answer.

Why debate amicably? Because we're all blues lad! Hah

Yes but your questioned was about legal justification. There's no need as it can just be ignored.

But you always seem to insinuate that it was those who voted leave who 'voted leave in protest, or without really knowing what they voted for' which is quite insulting for the millions who knew exactly what they were voting for. You will never see anyone say that the 'kids and graduates who voted remain don't have a clue what it's about' or 'those that voted remain were just cowards who are afraid of change' or even' the remainers were too stupid to understand what they were voting for'......it works both ways you know, yet it's only the remainers who appear to resort to this type of language.........

One could also counter argue do those who voted stay know what they were voting for.

Erm, it's Gwladys......with a W.......

That's what I said, I think.......

Thank you for the correction.

I'm not sure how I'm being unfair if I've said "those who voted leave or remain with conviction have done the right thing".

I'm not calling anyone a coward, or stupid.

Everyone seems very defensive from either side here. Everyone wants a barney. Not sure why.
