I Hate Traitors

To all those traitors in the uk who cannot respect the rule of democracy and wish to undermine it with a second referendum ,You should all be ashamed of your selves the uk was built on democracy where the will of the many out weighed the will of the few .We had a referendum and we voted to leave .That should be respected and acted upon .If you do not wish to live outside of Europe then go and live in Europe .DO NOT try to undermine our democracy just because it doesn't suit you .

The biggest problem with Brexit and why it can't pass Parliament is because 'the will of the people' is ambiguous.

We voted to leave the EU. Okay, on what terms and under what conditions?

There are three types of Brexit on offer: May's deal, the Norway option or a no deal Brexit. None has majority support in parliament or with the British public. A no deal Brexit was not on the ballot paper and would be a catastrophe.

I'm a remainer but I accept the result which is why I am prepared to accept the Norway option. Beyond that, you don't have a mandate.

Yes but all those who want a second referendum want remain on the ballot paper which is highly disrespectful of the first referendum .

@Rhodesianman I would support a second ref of there was a significant shift in public opinion but a small shift doesn't justify that.

@Rhodesianman so, if people did change their minds, why wouldn't a second referendum be as valid as the first, if not more so?

Rhodesianman · 56-60, M

@EarthlingWise Maybe because the first referendum has not been carried out therefore a second referendum would make a mockery of democracy .
