Top Cats Hat Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 Just now, Lockdoctor said: I thought more people voted in the 2016 EU referendum than had voted in any previous British election. Yes that is democracy. Yet even more people turned out in Ireland to vote in favour of the Belfast Agreement (81%) yet you think that it should be ignored!

And this is called democracy! I think democracy is about letting people decide how they wish to vote and just like the law, ignorance is no defence. In any-case Cameron spent £9 billion on leafleting all households explaining the situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over 17.4 million people voted in favour of the Belfast agreement? I didn't know there were that many people living on the whole island of Ireland! Considering there is less than 6 million people in the whole of Ireland, North and South, are you counting every vote three or four times? If so, why?

The EU thinks the GFA should be ignored because it wants to enforce a hard border on Ireland. Nobody else wants it, just the EU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats about right as there is no legislation in international law that requires any country to have a border with another neighbouring country. I dont think the GFA mentions anything about a border either. Edited February 1, 2019 by apelike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And this is called democracy! People didn't vote because they were lazy. It had nothing to do with Leave or Remain being 'unclear'. 5 minutes ago, apelike said: Thats about right as there is no legislation in international law that requires any country to have a border with another.
