It's pretty hard to see how Brexit isn't going to be kicked down the road yet again...maybe 2 years or forever . 

UK has let a dodgy referendum put democracy in an invidious situation.... Referendums are not an integral part of British democracy and as shown by the last one, they are potentially the tools of dictators, demogogues and despots.

It was advisory and not binding and this is part of the problem. For anyone who still doesn't understand the legal situation regarding the referendum here is the parliament document explaining it to MPs....

You won't be wanting another referendum then as won't all the other leavers who keep rabbiting on about another referendum. I'm glad that's sorted.

The question was whether the referendum was binding, not was Cameron said.

Could it be that respecting laws is a totally alien concept to Brexiteers?

And resigned immediately the result was announced, because he both didn't want to and couldn't honour the result.

 

Article 50 wasn't invoked because Cameron promised it, it wasn't invoked because "the people had spoken", it was invoked because a majority of MPs had voted to invoke it in parliament.

 

If the majority of MPs had voted not to invoke Article 50, that would have been the end of it, no Brexit. We have a parliamentary democracy in the UK not a people's court.

Huh, the opinion of one person is binding for others?

There are just 27 people there - and you’ve never seen 27 white people in a group together before ? 

 

Ever been to a football match, a swimming gala, a chess night ? Or ANY gathering in Cornwall ? 

 

What exactly is your point - though I admire your bravery as a leaver venturing into the racism field 

And out of 27 people what would be the chance of not one black person, pretty high I would have thought.

Thought for the day: If that had been a photo of the Brexit Party and not the EUs jolly boys outing, I think I would be safe in saying that the remainers would have thought that all their birthdays had come at once, and would now be having a field day.

Only when it suits. But this is not the just the opinion of one person, remainers are more divided than Jeremy Corbyns Labour Party. ????

So are referendums binding or not?

Its not a question of "honour" ... Cameron and others made promises they couldn't honour under UK law.

So on top of having laws stating that the referendum would not be binding, people were also very aware that a politician’s promise shouldn’t be trusted?

It still doesn't alter the fact that UK Immigration controls who enters the UK Complain to your MP about the laxity of processes, not me.

Can you post a link where the voting populace were told the referendum will not be binding.. ?

Seems strange to me that at the time the mud sling-ers NEVER mentioned it, well I don't recall, perhaps you do, again, can you point me to where we were told. Now I don't want you to post a page from a UK law book, I want where the electorate were told...

So yet another example of the populace being misinformed re the referendum and another reason to scrap it?

I assume you understand that ignorance of the law is no defence?

That's law too.

 

 

[wilcopops]

It is amazing that confronted with indisputable factual evidence, Brexiteers still argue to the contrary.

The nation is sick.

It's been the law for hundreds of years, ever since the Uk was governed by parliamentary democracy.

 

Better still, you post a link that shows where YOU were told that the law had changed and that the referendum was now binding.

I would much rather that the UK leaves with a fair deal for both sides.

 

IMHO it won't happen because the previous PM screwed the better deals up over 3 years and the UK was left with little option but a no deal. That was of course before this latest fiasco made entirely by parliament so that Boris has little left to do anything with.

 

May's deal satisfied the 'Leave the EU' criteria as stated on the referendum slip and honoured the vote. That's factual, not fiction, whichever way leavers spin it. The fact that the DUP and rebel ERG tories voted against it is NOT her fault.

 

IMO, she was considering the Best for Britain, which is probably impossible without remaining in the EU.  As it happens I agree that the best option right now is to leave with a deal in place, but under no circumstances should johnson be allowed to crash out on a no-deal basis. 

 

I suggest you complain to your MP.

It's important to note that the government could have introduced an amendment to the bill to make the referendum binding. No such amendment was introduced.

[wilcopops]

There is again the same reaction of people confronted with undisputable evidence.

Bereft of any argument they desperately demand citations. All they do is reveal their lack on knowledge of the issue as a whole.
