EU referendum...THE RESULT...and aftermath...

Anyone else seen this ?

Merely pointing out what you will need to do if you wish to choose our next PM given that some, at least, of the reasoning for voting Leave was that there is a democratic void at the heart of EU.

I'm just pointing out that the UK's democratic systems are far from perfect. That's all.

And here's a pie chart showing how the votes were cast, or not, in the referendum.

Are you for real? Did you not think that the remain campaign was totally based on a doomsday scenario?

But even with all the lies and scare tactics.....people where not fooled by that approach from Cameron/Osborne and still voted to leave.

After the Gaurdian readers refused to watch Brexit the movie I now refuse to read the Gaurdian. What is it a Gaurdian for apart from a bunch of whinging losers who cannot accept the fact they backed the wrong horse and they only like democracy when it goes their way.
Oh and btw Franzi stick yer pie charts up yer arse.

The Guardian is for reading when munching on a croissant in Islington whilst wearing a corduroy blazer.

But LM, could you also say that the "democratic wishes of the electorate" relating to the main issues concerning EU membership (immigration, free movement of people/labour, all the money saved invested in the NHS), have post referendum been ignored by Brexit leaders?

I haven't asked anybody to read the Guardian. Not ever.

Why do you keep on saying this? It just isn't true.

They Brexiters voted to leave because of no more free movement of people/labour, 350 million per week more for the NHS and a large reduction in immigration.

I think both sides were fooled!!

I read the Guardian, and the Mail......

I am. I try to avoid ''serious'' - not my kind of thing really. However, do the ''leavers'' really know what they have done?

Just read it. Interesting word "desperately" in the title.

Breaking: letter circulating among Tory backbenchers calling on 1922 Committee to delay leadership contest.

Looks like there's going to be longer to sign up than I thought!

I voted remain but more voted to leave, and thats what should happen.

Hopefully, let's get 50 through first.

Johnson isn't as as anti immigration as Joe Pubic thinks, and he's not a shoe in. In fact he could almost be described as on the centre of their party. The right of the Tory party will want their man in, not Johnson. But then, they don't want to give a platform down the line for UKIP, and the goons hiding among their midst.

The SNP could veto the Brexit result.

Belgium have said that they would support Scotland remaining in the EU.

I don't think any of them ever considered for even a minute that Leave would win LB & they very badly mis-judged the mood of those in the electorate they like to pretend don't exist.
Johnson & Gove & others on the Vote Leave team like that slimy weasel Hannan were very carefully briefed & selected.
Why do you think Farage & Grassroots out weren't allowed anywhere near the "official" campaign.
It's all been an elaborate hoax by Cameron to try to gain a mandate for further EU integration & it's all gone tits up.
Without question Cameron was the slimiest & most inept prime minister in my lifetime. The last thing we need is another one in Boris.

Changing my avatar just for them.

This is an interesting stat.
In the aftermath of the vote it was repeatedly said that the elderly (who would soon be dead) had voted away the future of the youngsters.

I haven't said it,
You can't show where I've said it because I didn't say it,
Why do you keep saying I said something when I didn't?
What I said was I refuse to read the Gaurdian anymore because it's biased crybaby anti democracy bullshit, I read it to give me a balanced side of both aides of the debate, you chose to only view one side hence why you get everything so wrong.
