Breakfast Brexit Merge

[eek]

I doubt it'll be invoked. Not with the threat of another Scottish referendum.

Face it, you've been duped.

Nope. Someone who should have known better offered a Referendum... Then discovered how and what those people who haven't been cared for over the past 20 years really thought about Politicians....

So still massively overpriced then.

[NickFitz]

Eh? 51.9 to 48.1 not 51.9 to 50.

Still not massive true.

Good point. This is probably why they didn't appoint me to oversee the Office of National Statistics

But yes, 3.8% is still not in the "overwhelming mandate" category - more of a rounding error.

Take 5% off, can now be picked up for £1.14m

Wow, the property market floored.....

But it's not legally binding so the result can be ignored by MP's. What you gonna do?

51.9% of the vote isn't a massive majority. It's a majority of 1.9%, which is a tiny majority.

Over 1.25 million votes. That's pretty massive to me.

What do you want, 5, 10 million?

Did they never teach you about percentages at school? They're how you make numbers like that meaningful in a context where their significance lies in their relative proportions rather than their absolute value.

I think that would lead to civil disobedience. Once you ignore a democratic vote then you are going to get the tulipe kicked out of you.

And there has never been any intention of invoking clause 50 the morning after.

Just face it, you've lost.

No, we do absolutes. It's over 1.25m. I don't give a flying tulipe what the percentage is. The context is in the 1.25m votes.

Well one has already be murdered by someone who was annoyed at her (not condoning it just rationalism it). I somehow doubt the others want to end up the same way...
