be very afraid....
The Tories are in disarray, the only reason they're not holding a new GE is that they've no idea how to win it, but the longer they prop up a "ghost" the more unpopular the Tories will become as no-one wants a weak PM.
they have a big dilemma.I'm alright JackComment

The one thing that makes this entire current situation so ridiculous is the following:
It was an ADVISORY referendum! If we were knowingly voting for a definitive referendum I'm sure the response from many people would be different and accepting of the result.
For some reason we are all simply pursuing a route based on an advisory method. Technically it does make a lot of difference. If the Tories wanted to go along with acting on the result why did they choose an advisory referendum?
Numerous EU nationals have mentioned this to me and I only now realise their distaste for it. It makes the whole situation appear even more as a smokescreen.Comment

Originally posted by contractorinatractor View PostAdvisory referendum. Advisory. That was their main error - should have made it binding then all of us here would be more accepting of the result. As it stands, there is zero contractual reason to 'do' anything with the the referendum result. That isn't going against the democratic process, but is instead observing democracy: it was for advisory purposes of informing parliament. Was a result referenced for either possible vote? No.
2) 2/3 majority is required with minimum turnout of at least 2/3.
But before that Brexit should have been defined what is it before it was put to vote, most important any deal should be approved by referendum.
Then it would have been fine.Comment

This is too important an issue for ideas to come from just one party - it's akin to a national emergency.You're awesome! Get yourself a t-shirt.Comment
