I1L2T3 Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 There is a very strong democratic mandate for Brexit. More people voted for Leave in the referendum than have EVER voted for anyone, or anything, in the entire British electoral history. The vote by MPs to trigger Article 50 in 2017 was carried by a MAJORITY of 372, which started a two-year countdown to our inevitable EU withdrawal. The general election in June 2017 saw more than 80 per cent of voters cast their ballots for parties committed to delivering the referendum result and leaving the EU. Any reversal of Brexit would be a betrayal of millions of voters and the end of democracy as we know it. ---------- Post added 13-03-2018 at 16:11 ---------- Those people who feel no loyalty to the UK, but are loyal to the EU, should reflect upon their reasons for being in this country. Are they still valid? Perhaps these people might consider relocating to the paradise union after we leave. You couldn’t be more wrong. It’s because people care about the U.K. that they are making a stand. When you try and play the patriotism card and allude to loss of citizenship it’s a sign you’ve lost the argument. Neither will help the Brexiters win hearts and minds. And the threats won’t be forgotten. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow what a surprise, a biased site that states from the outset "The EU referendum saw the leave campaign produce an unprecedented number of lies."

RJRB Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Why would we be isolated when we were not isolated before we joined the EEC? You hark back to the tail end of the Empire.We still had a major ,if declining merchant shipping trade,coal industry,shipbuilding ,steel,armaments. The world has changed around us. If you can’t recognise the difference in our relative importance in the world nowadays to what it was 60 years ago,I cannot help you. We need allies ,not estrangement.

chalga Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Why would we be isolated when we were not isolated before we joined the EEC? That's exactly why the UK joined the EEC,to end the isolation and the mistakes of before.The sick man was isolated,as sick people usually are.

I1L2T3 Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Why would we be isolated when we were not isolated before we joined the EEC? Our economy was in serious trouble before we joined the EEC. We’d suffered rapid loss of colonies, and most of our major industries were in decline and being out-gunned by high quality imports (e.g. from Japan) You’re looking back to a history that never existed.

retep Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Yes they do. That’s the point. They are using legal democratic means to reduce the impact of a previous democratic decision. That’s what the democratic process is about. Tha gets dafter lad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
