Re: Post-Brexit Thread
Of course people can be unhappy about things every country has them we have all at one time or another been unhappy about something but there was a vote a majority voted for something and unless we're prepared to bin our history we abide by it but don't have to be happy about it. I voted leave but I'm unhappy at the moment at the way the country has responded, unhappy at our politicians who despite the low bar the public set for them have limbo'd under with plenty of clearance and unhappy with how the EU has responded.
I had hoped this vote would make the EU wake up and realise they have issues that need resolving but instead it's a case of get the UK out and carry on as before. Anti EU sentiment is not unique to the UK it's widespread across western Europe and growing because people have had enough and want change. I have no time for farage or ukip and will never vote for them but it's a joke they are more in touch with people then any other party in the UK. We have been let down by successive politicians to the point we have ended up with inept self serving morons who view voters as nothing more then trouble.
As to the question of "if remain had won by the same margin" I'd have been disappointed but would have accepted it as I was prepared to do I didn't believe leave was going to win said so on this forum. Ignoring 17 million voters is not the answer to any of the problems we now face neither is ignoring the 16 million but the result was what it was we have to proceed in a way that best satisfies all but follows the vote and that means leaving the EU. Also trying to interpret why people voted the way they did is redundant now people on both sides may have had their votes influenced by the misinformation and half truths from both camps there is no way to quantify.
Let's put the pressure where it belongs right now onto the politicians to do what the people told them last week and because that is what they are paid to do, or we can carry on as we are get nowhere fast and further divide this nation.
