Dear British People,

enough is enough.
Really. Stop making an ass of yourselves. You are nice and kind and lovely people, do you really want to become the laughing stock of the civilized world?
"The people have spoken", haha. Just accept the fact that Brexit was/is/will always be a textbook example of a crackpot idea that leads nowhere but down.
Now get rid of the Demonic Possession and come back home please. We Europeans aren't perfect either, and we will happily accept your sincere apologies. Just send us a bottle of Isle of Skye whisky and an annual subscription to the Royal Shakespeare Company, and we will be fine. See you in Paris/Berlin/Rome next summer, let's get drunk [and I [u]mean[/u] drunk!], and let's have a good laugh together, about this present madness. 🌷

Yours cordially,
helenS.

@helenS just to point out the vote last week was actually split approximately 45% to parties that favour leaving (Tory, brexit, ukip) and 55% to parties that favoured remain or another referendum (Labour, lib Dems, greens, snp, plaid cymru etc.)

I'm not here to stir a fight just to ensure that facts are presented correctly strictly it wasn't a majority vote in favour of brexit.

@SW-User I don't know about anny of the others... but isn't it biased to say that Labour was really in favor of annything? Since they said that they would put it up for a vote? It feels a bit sneaky to put them in the "remain" camp if their position is to have a referendum on "against their deal" , "for their deal" and "remain"? It's more that they have no clear position at all, and want the public to decide (again).

@SW-User our system don't work on percentages, it works on how many seat any party has and Tory = leave has more seats than the others put together, thanks for your imput....

@Platinum That's not even what he was talking about... Did you feel you had to react to this one in a way that didn't even connect to his argument?

It was not an argument, it was a comment...stop worrying about us and start worrying about the extra money you will have to give the eu....I can see many tax rises....why are you bothered what we do.....@Kwek00

@Platinum I literally said, that you can do what you want. Why would I be bothered. When a friend of mine leaves, I feel sad, because they leave. But it doesn't bother me in a way that I'm invested with it. Why do two conversations move from the toppic towards how I'm supposed to think about what you guys are doing. I'll express my feelings, you'll express yours. You don't have to think for me.

@Platinum I'm fully aware of the system. I've been a member of the electoral reform society for most of my adult life.

My point was that you can't take the result as a referendum replacement for the spilt I say above.

I don't deny the tory right to govern as they want (with the consent of Parliament) as would have been the case if the Lib Dems had won a majority of seats. Our out dated first past the post system gives a governing mandate to the minority and has done for pretty much every government since ww2

It's the system that we use and you can't complain when your side loses ...lib dems were a joke, she went from being PM to losing her seat and resigning....it was so obvious....@SW-User

@Platinum I'm not complaining this month. I've been complaining all my adult life as the system is inherently unrepresentative. I'd have moaned if Labour or Lib Dems won. The system is wrong IMHO.
