Cable Forum - Brexit (Old)

I hate to burst your MBGA bubble but many who voted Leave did not want a No Deal, WTO based omnishambles. One of the reasons why the people should have the right to be consulted now this circus is approaching the end game.

Wrong. The truth of the matter is that most leavers didn't actually analyse the method of leaving. They just wanted to leave, forging a trade deal with the EU and other countries. Simple as that.

It was always for the politicians to actually make that happen.

We do not need yet another referendum at all. Let's just get on with implementing the decision of the majority of the electorate who could be arsed to vote.

As far as l am concerned the referendum result should be respected but protesting is one of the freedoms of democracy whether one likes it or not.

So here you have an unelected EU Commissioner ordering a democratically elected Government of a sovereign nation to redo their budget.

This is why many people voted Brexit.

This is the EU Commission exerting direct authority over a nations government.

I don’t have any sympathy for the Italians. They know the rules, but if they had still had their own currency and control of their own affairs there are lots of things they could have done, same with the Greeks.

How long before an Italian referendum?

Like you, I don't have too much sympathy for the country. In or out of the Eurozone, I think its electoral system discourages growth. If it doesn't want to follow the rules of the Eurozone then it should leave the Eurozone.
Quote why many people voted Brexit for rules that don't affect the UK suggests that some leavers didn't know what they were voting for. That would be incorrect as they all knew what they were voting for.

According to your previous logic, 99.97% don’t support Brexit.

That's 99% who don't want one [i'm using the remainer calculator] to work this out ,the same calculator they all used after the referendum.

99% of the population held a sit in/not turn up protest against a peoples vote.

Aren't the English one of the biggest Hegemonists in World history ?? Mind you we are of German descent ;)

The Empire has gone old chap, and so has Hitler thankfully. Together we really are stronger, alone we will be weaker without a doubt. However we'll always find someone else to blame , while producing nothing, not even Dyson products....
