How many exactly? Also many who have been there a few years and were allowed to vote. A hypocritical referendum. Can you show us your evidence for this? Thousands of UK citizens not allowed to vote due to shortcomings in government systems. I would say many thousands so that would have made the vote leave with an even bigger majority, is that what your saying? An incompetent referendum. Can you show us your evidence for this and not delivering the result the referendum itself? A life changing decision based on one vote out of 10s of millions. How many shall we have the best of 5. Wasn't there only one vote going into the ECE? An ill-conceived referendum. Your evidence for this? Proven illegal activity by the leave campaign. A fraudulent referendum. Go on then tell us how and why? "Democratic" - probably the most inappropriate adjective that could be used. What is your version of democracy. 2 votes if you have a degree?

Shouting the odds doesn't make things right. There has only ever been 3 national referendums and they have all been fundamentally flawed. It was by good luck rather than judgement that the other two did not have a contentious result. The politicians screwed up and now they are suffering the consequences of their actions, and it is not over by a long way. Political reform could well be the brexit bonus.

beautifulthailand99 Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 (edited) Another prominent leaver has gone the full Oborne..... Without question, the most concerning part of Brexit discourse over the past few years has been how the most stubborn of Leave campaigners have doubled down on erroneous positions, adopting ever more extreme views as the jaws of reality bite down on our attempts to leave the EU. Faced with genuine complexity and immovable obstacles, those who maintained that Brexit would be easy are becoming increasingly desperate and erratic in their prescriptions for how things might be saved. Problems that were once dismissed as trivialities or as Project Fear are now rapping sharply at the door. First among these is probably the prospect of a no-deal Brexit. The Brexit ideologues would sooner barbecue their grandmothers than acknowledge any misjudgment of the biggest issue in post-war British politics. Admittedly, changing one’s mind can be difficult – especially for public figures. But the constant mining for excuses, however irrational and absurd, is intellectually unhealthy. The fact that is has become so normal, is a worrying sign for British democracy. https://www.independent.co.uk/voices/brexit-no-deal-queen-monarchy-ukip-andrew-lilico-republican-a8862931.html Edited April 10, 2019 by beautifulthailand99 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again another response that only reinforces the perception of paucity of intellect in the Brexit camp. Brexit is nearly dead in the water. A campaign which stated with no defined parameters nor common aim is doomed to eat itself, and it appears to be true to form. How can Brexit actually happen with such a fractious group of squabbling disciples and factions? The country is not divided 50/50 leave remain, it is 50% Remain and the rest is just raggle-taggle disparate groups of Xenophobes racists, the gullible and those obsessed with some idyllic view of "the past". There is no common Brexit plan, no unified movement There is no leave majority at all; just that half of the country want 17 million different things, many of which aren't even Brexit...if they bothered to think about it So now we are faced with another 6 months of watching the UK sink slowly into economic, political and diplomatic oblivion as parliament (our sovereign authority) gradually wrenches back control like a parent trying to get petulant toddler to let go of a dangerous toy.

If you make a bold claim it more than justifiable to provide some sort of evidence to support your claim. I was not asking for a list of journals just some evidence. If it was a believe or opinion then the poster (sandy) just had to say. So all the nonsense you have written to try and justify nothing is irrelevant to what i was asking. So another 6 months as you put it the UK sink slowly into economic, political and diplomatic oblivion as parliament (our sovereign authority) gradually wrenches back control like a parent trying to get petulant toddler to let go of a dangerous toy. You do like to make some sweeping statements. Oblivion great adjective. So does that mean we wont have a parliament? So the economy would be what exactly.

The burden of proof lies with someone making a claim not on anyone else to disprove. If you claim a teapot is orbiting the Sun between the Earth and Mars you need to provide evidence. Not to do so questions the veracity of the claim and the age of the claimant. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evidence, as far as the brexiteer is concerned, is nothing more than fake news. They firmly believe that everybody that should have had the right to vote had the right to vote, and that Vote Leave have done nothing wrong. Whatever happened to 'beyond reasonable doubt'?, politicians that supported the referendum breached their own guidelines on human justice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
