That's far too simplistic a view .The 'winning side' is getting 100% of it's own way ,there is no doubt about that because we are leaving the EU ,that is what was voted for .However the terms of that departure are very much open for discussion,they should and will involve everyone because it will affect everyone.Trying to compare a referendum result with a general election result is totally bizarre and quite frankly smacks of desperation as people run out of arguments to keep remainers out of the equation .

Most people can see that the kind of arguments you espouse are simply a smokescreen for 'no change' promoters who don't want to listen to the majority.
How very undemocratic of you.

I voted out because i do not agree with the single market and freedom of movement ,i did not have British sovereignty at the forefront of my decision making simply because we have always retained the ultimate sovereignty ,it is that parliamentary sovereignty that is taking us out of the EU.I accept that some minor aspects of sovereignty were relinquished as a condition of EU membership but we have always retained Parliamentary sovereignty

That process has already started with Lloyd’s of London, the 328-year-old insurance market, becoming the first major City business to put a timetable on plans to move a part of its operations to the EU in preparation for Brexit.
Last week a group of Japanese financial institutions told the British government they would begin moving functions from London within six months unless they received clarity on the UK’s future relationship with the EU.

I do blame the Government for asking the civil service to prepare financial and staffing plans in the event of Brexit without defining what Brexit will mean. And I do blame the Government for not disclosing its plans as doing so should help prevent British job relocations.

The government managed to give Nissan assurances that meant they would be staying so why can't the government do the same for the rest of industry ?
