What's most important now is to have a hard nosed team negotiating with the EU. People with backbone and experience. People who will get us the best deal. People who know how to play hardball. None of this half-hearted Cameron nonsense.

yawn
We're all quite used to hyperbole and bending of truth, there was plenty of that from both sides. We also received a constant stream of out and out bull poop from both sides though far more from one than the other, and it worked. That isn't liberation it's just bull poop.

change the tune

We need to ensure they reflect the best way forward for the country. We are a representative democracy. Parliament are sovereign, always have been incidentally regardless of the lies we were told, and I believed, and it's their job to deliver the best possible result.

If we ran the country based on mob rule it'd be a disaster.

boooooring
Just FYI Cameron's deal was actually a lot better than it at first appeared, regardless of the lies we were all told.

We do need people to do what they can. They don't have a strong hand so negotiating skills will be absolutely vital.

It should be mentioned that all that will be discussed for the 2 years are the terms of our exit from the EU. It's extremely likely that we won't even finish that negotiation let alone secure a deal for our relationship post-leaving. That will take a decade or more if we actually try to secure one.
zzzzzzzzzz
I think a lot of people are expecting us to give Article 50 and come away within 2 years having negotiated a great trade deal. Not happening. There is an incredible amount of work that needs to be done in that 2 years, which is why the sane people in Parliament aren't in a hurry.

In the interim the best us grunts can do is get heads down and as we were :)

The misinfomation prior to the vote is unforgivable. However, it failed to detract the majority from the overriding desire to govern our own Country and to have control of immigration.

I should have specified that the result of the referendum is liberating not all the palaver that led up to it.



To be fair, I have heard worse :D

I actually think that what it has done is shown that Politics was already in the gutter, the Tories for example have been bitch slapping each other over Europe since the late 80's, and Labour doesn't know if it's Red, Pink or light blue. It just made what had been kept quiet, public.
This is a good thing.
Now that everyone's aware of just how crappy ALL of the parties are now quite frankly, then there's every chance that something good may come out of it in the future.

I much prefer openness over secrets anyday.
