Shockingly Tony B'Liar wants to ignore the democratic will of the people.

No one would shoot Blair.

He would just be "encouraged" to take a walk like David Kelly....

I know lots of places he can walk.

Mainly minefields & multi lane highways but maybe a quick walk round Syria or similar.

Well he was a peace envoy....

[Churchill]

Well he was a peace envoy....

Remind me again how that worked out...

I have heard it suggested that because the vote was not 60% in favour then it can be ignored by p[arliament.

Then it will be 70%. Then 80%. etcetc. Its a slippery path.

If they fixed the problems with the EU and took another vote I'm sure remain would win.

Technically, if the vote was 99.99999% if favour of Brexit, the result could be ignored by parliament. Politically, however, it's another story.

And just how long do you imagine THAT might take? It would be a vote for our great-grandchildren to ponder.

It could take an afternoon if both parties wanted it to.

Remain would probably win if there was another vote anyway as the non-voters would wake up, and the people who googled "What is the EU" after voting Leave would know what they were voting for this time.

But what would be the "fix"? Lots of people talked about reforming the EU, but nobody ever said what the reform is. Making it more democratic by holding more elections would be dumb; nobody really cares enough to vote more. You can't have a common market without everybody agreeing to follow the same rules, and if you go back to every country having a veto on everything nothing will ever get agreed. So is it simply allowing immigration caps?

what else fuelled the leave vote?

Why did over half the country vote leave?

And no its not because they are stupid and they should have agreed with you (that however is a big clue to one issue).
