Leave campaign broke the law (several times)

[Eirikur]

Not only did they make false claims, they also broke the law on at least 4 counts.

And then there's the support by foreign governments, Russia in particular

I wonder why the referendum outcome is still seen as valid

Because it is?

Exactly. Poor Erikur doesn't understand that a democratic referendum result is entirely valid, even if it was achieved by questionable means, and is only a good idea from a disaster capitalist and Russian interests perspective.

You need to accept it, Erikur, and enjoy the show.

And the stay campaign wasn't massively over funded with biased government money or illegally supported by foreign powers such as Obama and his mob

That’s correct, it wasn’t, according to the rules. If there was any evidence that it had been, it would be investigated.

As Malvolio says, because it is still valid (legally speaking).

The referendum is, legally, advisory only. This means that it came with fewer legal boundaries and only “hand slap” penalties for overstepping any marks.

How did Obama illegally support Remain?

This only reinforces the point. Whether leave or remain (or both) broke the rules is immaterial. Any which way, the referendum result would be unsound.

Suppose remain illegally overspent/used undue influence and it had an impact on the result. In such a case, 52-48 is invalid and leave ought to have a bigger mandate. (Not that that's stopped them from adopting the most extreme interpretation anyway).

This is a great deal more important than precious Brexit.

How did Obama illegally support Remain?

According to a thread here (based on the Daily Mail), David Cameron gave Obama a script of lies to read out about Britain not getting preferential treatment by the US.

The headlines of the story did not match the detail and were presented in such a way that only those who can read headlines would get their blood pressure up.

Therefore, if you just read the headline, Obama lied because Cameron told him to.
