I wonder how many of them were also out protesting against austerity and corporate ownership of government..."Is someone you don't like allowed to say something you don't like? If that is the case then we have free speech."- Elon MuskComment

As a parent I know I make decisions which are best for my children - even though my children may not see that at the time.

Originally posted by VectraMan View Post38% of the electorate decided, or about 26% of the UK overall. The other 74% (which includes children and EU citizens that don't get to vote) have it forced on them.
Hardly a shining example of the principle of democracy when you look at it like that. It should have required an absolute majority, and I'm not just saying that because I wanted the status quo to prevail.Comment

Originally posted by kaiser78 View PostI would suggest that it is right that these people types don't get a chance to vote, and so the remainder who could vote were able to fairly do so, no ?
Where did you get the stats from out of interest ?
It's probably fair to say a higher turnout would have changed the result. Probably the polls saying Bremain meant a few less Bremainers bothered to vote, and younger people were less likely to vote and more likely to vote remain. So what we have isn't an accurate representation of the wishes of the people. But I do agree with the principle that history is written by those that show up.
52% * 72% turnout = ~38%. 16m / 65m = ~26%.Will work inside IR35. Or for food.Comment

I said it was a mistake for Farage to float the idea of a second referendum if Remain narrowly won, because it could be turned the same on a narrow Brexit win, and sure enough a commenter on that site drew attention to this:

Originally posted by norrahe View PostStill in serious shock about the outcome and also at how many people who did not consider the far reaching social and economic impacts of their vote.
While it doesn't impact me as an Irish national living in Cloggers, it will have a knock on effect of getting contracts back in the UK, dependent on the outcomes of trade negotiations.
It does impact the possibility of me staying on here in cloggers as MrN being British we have no way of knowing what his status will be depending on the decisions the EU takes on the status of British expats in EU countries.
The other impact that this has is now that MrN is looking for a job in cloggers there is no fecking way anyone will touch him with a bargepole as a British citizen as they don't want to employ someone whose residential status is uncertain.
They have 2+ years of stability.
They should be able to identify who can stay & move for work easily after Brexit fairly quickly. Then publicise it.
I assume if he becomes your spouse he becomes entitled to Irish citizenship? AIUI you have been together for many years so its only a bit of paper unless you need it to be more.Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.Comment
