Scrap political parties, make every MP independent and allow any MP to nominate themselves as PM. Winner forms a government based on who they feel is most competent.
The more you examine it, the more absurd the parties are.
Nah sorry, I just made a general point about the unelected comment above the link.
From a legal stand point sure they could ignore the referendum but they could technically do the same for election results if they choose to go down that path. The government must know that ignoring any type of election/referendum type result would be extremely dangerous to a country's legitimacy as a democracy. I and millions of others would take to the streets in protest if that was to happen. I can take losing any election/referendum result but I refuse to let the government take away my basic rights.Once the government take one right away why not a second or a third and so on. It's an extremely slippery slope that would be the quickest way to an extremist government I can think of. To those asking for a second referendum: You should all think very carefully about what your asking for and what you'll gain compared to what you'll lose is worth it.
I have no idea what op said that your responding to but I'm guessing that they were pretty vile comments to warrant being removed. But I just felt I had to comment on the hypocrisy of your post. The op was a "typical leave voter" was he? So your quite happy to use one poster on here as an example of a typical leave voter rather then anyone of the half a dozen or more posters who have all debated without any problems. Your quite happy to describe over 17million people having a bigoted nature? Out of interest are you familiar with the TUSC party? Because I think they for one they would be horrified at your description of them. I appreciate you acknowledge at least the different motivations but it's still an outrageous smear to imply that such views are typical of over 17million voter's. As for having what you call "scary bedfellows" it was no better in the remain camp. Those who voted remain sided with David Cameron a man who has savagely cut resource after resource in this country and effectively attacked the weakest in our society with the disabled. You also if you remain sided with Tony Blair, a war criminal to anyone with half a brain and a thoroughly vile human being. When so many people vote it's obvious that your going to get a few idiots but they're on both sides of the of the vote and failure to acknowledge it only damages your credibility.
No one has suggested another vote, merely stated a fact - the referendum was advisory. So that's a straw man argument.
I was responding to Joey66 who mentioned the legal stand point of having a second referendum. Hence the reason I didn't call anyone on here out about asking for one and made a wider statement to anyone who wanted a second referendum. The reason I mentioned election's is because once you start tampering with our rights and freedoms you go down a slippery slope imo. If they (the government) can ignore/take away one right why not another?
Heralding democracy off the back of a poll where campaigns were full of blatant lies and would have failed advertising code rules is somewhat ironic
I'm not sure they can currently. My point was that once the government start ignoring results such as the referendum, it opens the possibility of further government interference when us plebs make the wrong decision.
