    You are the most triggered poster on CUK. You're now meta-triggered.

    I understand that the referendum was advisory. You appear not to. Either that or you're triggered by that fact and in angry denial.

    Also, when you voted, did you understand that the Government of the time had promised to implement the result?

    The key part is: ' the Government of the time'... Since then we had one GE and 2 different PMs, so do you consider it is still the same government!?

    If we get a new GE (again) and elect a new government, then you will accept if the new government will ignore promises made by a different government!?

    FTFY. Not what was promised but what the "people" deserve.

    I think you're confusing respect and accept

    Should a "result" be respected that was based on patently false promises/threats?
    Or once those promises/threats have been shown to have been false (no extra money for the NHS, no great trade deal, no Turks ever likely to invade the country en masse) should the people decide again?

    A democrat might suggest the latter.
    I, and a few others, prefer the former since (1) the chaos is likely to benefit me and (2) it teaches the great unwashed a lesson.
