Luckily this isn't and will never be in the cards..... It's how democracy works......just sour grapes.

Signing the "petition" is about as much use as putting the "Sydney University" shit on the end of your profile.....just takes up server space and shows a lack of common sense.

And if the Leave campaign lost there wouldn't have been an identical petition posted by them? People were posting conspiracy theories about the Government fixing the vote before the voting ended.

Shock horror .... politicians lie, who knew.

Both sides told their versions of the "truth", entwined with ongoing propaganda.

The future would be uncertain no matter which way the vote went, and the propaganda and resignations would still be occurring if the vote went the other way but on the opposite side of the coin.

Except that the fragrant Nicola says 'majority rules' in Scotland (forgetting over a million Scots voted to Leave) but it doesn't rule in the UK.

She then peddles the lie that this has anything to do with Independence. Another Referendum she wants to re-run.

How many times do we do this?

That is just being hypocritical.

But I guess she will fit in well in the EU because that is what they do. Keep giving referendums until they get the answer they want.

well it did say explicitly in the snp manifesto that if there was a substantive change in circumstance... ie scotland voting to stay in by a large margin, but the uk voting out in any EU referendum (and god bless them...bless them because that was the actual example they used!) that would be cause for another referendum on independence....

so the conservatives honoured their manifesto promise...

i would hope the snp honoured theirs

so are they not entitled to theirs... because it seems like democracy is only a one way street....

I voted remain, the result didn't go my way... i'm, cool....

the great thing with democracy, is that with any decision there comes a consequence.....

if the chance of the break up of the union for example is a consequence, then that should have been thought of....

So do tell me how can a campaign that is now finished 'backtrack'? This was not a General Election and there were no manifestos. All the 'Vote Leave' campaign offered were the freedoms a UK Government would have if we left the EU. And those freedoms and options are now available. I do know this a fact because I was one of the first to volunteer, campaigned for many weeks and delivered about 1500 leaflets in East Anglia.

Ironically the petition was started by a leave campaigner when things were looking ropey for them. Today he has come out saying that he thinks it's sour grapes on the remains part...

However the dice have fallen the vote is as it is. We all now need to move on and dal with the aftermath, enough of the recriminations and the finger pointing

I've not read the thread so don't know if anyone's said this.

The petition was posted BEFORE the vote by a pro-leave campaigner just in case they lost and would demand a second vote - just like our Nige wanted.

I think that Scotland and Northern Ireland deserve referendums. I think we could essentially all be independent but stay united in a currency union. By allowing them to keep the pound and the Bank of England as the central bank. It would essentially just be devo max. I don't think any nation would be keen to trade in the pound for the Euro. The pound has been around for centuries and will no doubt remain to be seen as a safe haven currency once all the fuss is over. The EU on the other hand is essentially some sort of empire. Brexit may reinforce the idea that it is not impossible others may leave the EU and the Euro may be on borrowed time.

There seems to be one of these threads on loop. Is it to keep saying you lot who lost are whingers or is it to deflect from the clarity now being given by the leave campaign that if you voted on the immigration then that is now not important and also the money for reallocation was only a ' possibility'?

There won't be another one so this is a smokescreen by those who want to try and deflect the issue that we are in limbo land with no tangible plan..

I fully accept the decision. I am not whinging and this is not sour grapes.

So Great Britain is really important in the world after all, we leave and the EU will now implode , the troubles in Ireland will re start, Sturgeon will become Braveheart, Dover now becomes the first step in Britain from the continent not Calais....... Can't wait for the jungle to reappear next to the white cliffs. We will still be The 53rd state AKA as the US landing strip for and global bombing east of New York at least we won't have EU regulations on the size of bombs that can be used, after all we have a special relationship when it comes to bombing 3rd world countries but not that special for a trade deal between 2 of the 5 biggest economies in the world, Trillions wiped off people's pensions and abilities to repay debts and mortgages and for people to provide for their families globally, businesses are now terrified to invest and provide for their staff's futures but their staffs futures are not a problem as the companies now won't have the EU rules around workers rights to worry about, I'm sure I can go on but I have to do something really important like read the leave's manifesto for our fantastic future......... It's a series of white letters printed on a white sheet of paper by a bigoted double standards prick who has been taking the Eurpean MP's pay cheque for years while in fact he was a terrorist to peace and security our forefathers fought so hard to win and a buffoon who globally is a laughing stock one notch above Trump who wanted to finally get one over his Eton nemesis who beat him to everything he ever wanted to do .......... The world first self induced recession , those fossils voting with their grandkids future who longed for the good old days in bomb shelters and then progressed to power cuts when the lights went out and no bugger could work a full week as everyone went on strike and that life then was such a great legacy that they thought their open minded progressive multi cultural and diverse grandchildren should enjoy the pleasures they enjoyed to the full, I can't wait for the smog to reapper, the rivers to become open drains again life expectantcy to fall and everyone to start smoking so we can all die of cancer ....... Oh what fantastic days they were, thank god the leave manifesto was so convincing, will the last one out close the doors and turn the lights off. Still at least we can't now enter Eurovision so not all that bad a result , ps, all those in same sex relationships get ready because when the racists have finished driving all our fellow human beings to the borders we now own they will be back for you because we must go back to how things were when life was so good. Such a progressive species we are, how did Darwin get it so wrong about evolution........... Maybe we should put reverse and evolution together now what word would that make???????

"in a way DC has played a blinder Post brexit... "

No he hasn't - he's just reinforced the opinion that he's one of the biggest c**** ever to have held the office, which, considering the recent holders, I suppose IS quite an achievement.

Having spent the last six years pootling about achieving absolutely nothing, he spent the entire referendum campaign spouting OTT nonsense in an effort to frighten people into remaining, and, now he's lost, flounces off like a spoilt public schoolboy discovering that he hasn't been picked for the First XI.

Screw him. A shallow empty PR man with no conviction, beliefs or guts whose only aim was to become PM. He could have led the Leave campaign and become another Churchill. Instead he sided with the EU bureaucracy and will go down as one of UK politics biggest losers.

Very true. It's only a mandate for the government if it's 40% or higher of the electorate (not actually those who voted).

So, with only 75% of the electorate having voted only 34%+ voted leave. So the government can decide whether or not to actually go with it or not.

I agree. And deliberate misinformation, insinuation, unfounded implying of what they'd spend the money on, and stirring up of xenophobia.

I'd love a second referendum.

The only problem is that it would set a very dangerous precedent democratically. - If any party were able to in future overturn the will of a majority of the electorate, then we would be in even more shit.

Its reported that the eu commision are wanting to go ahead with a European army.

So basically a army that will be under the control of a group of unelected people.(if nato wasnt already bad enough).

I'm glad we are out of this undemocratic institution that is the eu (or soon will be).

"Luckily this isn't and will never be in the cards..... It's how democracy works......just sour grapes.

Signing the "petition" is about as much use as putting the "Sydney University" shit on the end of your profile.....just takes up server space and shows a lack of common sense."

"Because they won it based on lies, so that is why most want another referendum.[/quote. It's so annoying when people say the leavers voted based on lies ! I voted out and because I believed what politicians said ! I don't believe ANY polititian, they are al only looking out for themselves. I made my own mind up on whether to vote in or out, as I'm sure most people did. We have lions on our national emblem not sheep ! The way I see it, good riddance to the EU and its do Gooders and money grabbers. We should now be concentrating on finding a person capable of actually leading the country in the future, we haven't needed one to make a real decision for 40 years !!! "

That's a really good point. I have to say I'm ignorant of what NATO has actively done militarily. Can you enlighten this ignoramus?

Seems to me that the EU kind of shuts its eyes and stops its ears when the UK or France decide to bomb the shit out of countries with no basic good reason, and that NATO is basically a deterrent to the Russians.WHich unfortunately we do need to some extent now.

"in a way DC has played a blinder Post brexit...

No he hasn't - he's just reinforced the opinion that he's one of the biggest c**** ever to have held the office, which, considering the recent holders, I suppose IS quite an achievement.

Having spent the last six years pootling about achieving absolutely nothing, he spent the entire referendum campaign spouting OTT nonsense in an effort to frighten people into remaining, and, now he's lost, flounces off like a spoilt public schoolboy discovering that he hasn't been picked for the First XI.

Screw him. A shallow empty PR man with no conviction, beliefs or guts whose only aim was to become PM. He could have led the Leave campaign and become another Churchill. Instead he sided with the EU bureaucracy and will go down as one of UK politics biggest losers. "

The guy who started the petition is a leave supporter, who'd started it before the results, just in case. And Farage had said that he wouldn't have accepted a result with these numbers.

The referendum was a mistake in its implementation. There were insufficient facts nor a roadmap of what happened afterwards. We don't have the civil servants to do the jobs that the eu did for us. (so more costs of exit).

Actually:

1. Farage said, before the referendum, that if it was close, ( and if BREXIT lost) then he would demand another referendum. And again and again until he got "his" result.

2. have you seen the number of people who voted " leave", who now realise what they have done? They are the ones signing up now.

Sadly, the UK deserves what it got.

If people are so stupid that they voted for a bunch of complete lies, tough shit

If people only found out what they were voting for, after the event, tough shit.

It wasn't fucking X factor, it was real.

I just feel so sorry for the younger generation who have been fucked over by idiots and xenophobes.

Bollocks, if you read some of the threads, you will see that some of the younger generation knew what to vote but didn't

I don't listen to politicians as I have already worked out they lie, and the same lies every year like Corbyn said on the news last night 'we will create jobs' bullshit, same lie every year just to win votes and it doesn't happen so please don't tar us all with the same brush

"Has rascist become the new buzzword for all lifes ills? "

No racism isn't the new buzz word for life's ill's , it a fact of life everyday in our world we live in, real world. It's not long ago that a bit of racism started out by idealists who appealed to the ignorant and disenchanted people in society, they rallied under a nationalist banner and the minority became the majority because it was was ignored and left to grow inferred, thento build to the point where it took 6 years and a huge amount of human life lost to stop it. We have a brave new world, we built it back then and we have continued to build it for 70 years but I am afraid that with all the advances in technology,education,health and mobility allowing us to see world full of rich and diverse cultures, creeds, religions, and lifestyles all we have done is shown basic human neandrathal behaviors , "defend our borders against attack" "stop those barbarians coming in", "the bogey man will get us if we don't" , what next burning witches?, burning books?, taking the vote away from women, enslaving fellow humans, no racism is not the new buzz word it is a daily problem for our friends and neighbors as is equality for people who are gay,lesbian,bi or TG, for fuck sake we should be an educated race able to build a better world for all our fellow human beings living around the world not regress back into the dark ages on the back of one man being a racist and others jumping on his bandwagon albeit under a different name as the leave recognised Farage to be what he is and tried to distance from his name but not his behaviors. I have took a lifetime of struggling to get what I have and what I am, and overnight against my will I have had the world I have struggled to build ripped apart on the back of an ideology that belongs where it started in history. Lemmings come to mind.

"and of course we haven't exited yet with no plans or rush to do so either

the vote is only advisory and parliament does not have to follow the voters results

I wudnt be so surprised if brexit is deemed unachievable

Very true. It's only a mandate for the government if it's 40% or higher of the electorate (not actually those who voted).

So, with only 75% of the electorate having voted only 34%+ voted leave. So the government can decide whether or not to actually go with it or not.

Time will tell. "

I'd love to know where these made up figures are coming from.

A referendum requires a SIMPLE majority of those who CHOSE to vote. Those who declined to vote abdicate their rights to have a say...or to moan about the result.

There is nowhere in statute or law that says it must be more than any given percentage of the electorate.
