phil752 Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 (edited) Really? 38% of the electorate voted to leave. 36% of the electorate voted to remain. 26% of the electorate were undecided or didn't vote. That is what I call inconclusive so the only way to deliver that is to stay as we are. CHANNEL FOUR BREXIT POLL! 54% Remain 46% Leave and very importantly Wales has now gone Remain. So basically, England wants to leave the EU and the rest of the UK wants to stay. Now leaving the EU is constitutionally impossible. As was said we have had 2 years of campaigning for remaining, with the results you quote, IMO would be be switch with a higher leave vote than before after a campaign for leave was re-introduces.

Leave won. What exactly is the complexity here? It was not a general election. There is no majority seats. There are no constituancy results. Two options on the form and one result. Unless you are going to do some impossible mathematics and and show that exactly 16,775,991.5 people voted for each option and gave a 50/50 drawn result there is no ambiguity. Why bring up the non-voters?? They dont count. Never have counted. If somebody chose not to vote or couldn't make up their mind - tough. Their own problem. As for England wants this, the rest of the UK wants that is also wholly irrelevant. It was a UK wide vote and ALL votes from all countries were included in the results. Its done.

It was a UK wide vote and ALL votes from all countries were included in the results. But, as is becoming apparent, some parts of the U.K. are more complicated than other parts. Given the disparity of effects on the different parts of the U.K., you can expect them to demand different treatment. They need to receive that differential treatment. Unless, of course, you favour the break up of the U.K. ---------- Post added 05-11-2018 at 23:41 ---------- sure lets be non democratic, i thought you were preaching democratic s a few posts ago Nothing more democratic than a vote.

biscotti Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 did we not have one, a nation wide vote, so why are you saying different region need to be treat differently? What if we’d had a Europe wide vote? Would you have agreed with that? (That’s why different regions need treating differently. It’s because they are different) ---------- Post added 05-11-2018 at 23:51 ---------- again did we not have one? Why can’t we have another?
