We aren’t about to allow the thread to collapse into endless pointless repetition of all the old, old arguments about the legitimacy of the referendum, the mandate afforded by the result or whether “nobody voted for X”.

So let’s try and keep things on track, please.
And could you image the outrage if Cameron prorogued Parliament to push through joining the Euro and becoming part of the Schengen Area, stating "it was in or out, you knew what you were voting for"?
