Steve Shaw BS: To Br/Exit Or Not To Br/Exit (1036* d) RE: BS: To Br/Exit Or Not To Br/Exit 05 Jul 16


The thing is, Teribus, less than 38% of the total electorate, about 17 million out of 46.5 million entitied to vote, have forced an irrevocable decision on this country. The irrevocable bit is crucial and it's what makes this different from general elections, which, given five years, can be reversed. And that's before we even start to consider the illegitimate grounds on which the campaign was fought, which prioritised feeding prejudice and stoking fear rather than informing people. There should have been a threshold turnout requirement and a threshold majority requirement, and, as the latter involved a suggested massive change to the status quo, it should have been a two-thirds majority at least. Rather than shrugging your shoulders smugly at your "victory," I should like to see you trying to justify the arguments put during the campaign by your side. You could start with the Farage poster. Awkward, eh? It's also notable to see how many Brexiteers are now jumping ship. Boris gone, Farage gone, and, very likely, Gove gone (by design, I'm almost certain), not sticking around to tell us what's going to happen next. Bloody cowards. They've all got what they absolutely didn't expect and now they're running scared.
