Backwoodsman BS: From my eyes Elections (166* d) RE: BS: From my eyes Elections 24 Oct 16


34% of the electorate voted to leave. 66% didn't - even you should be able to do the maths.

It was a flawed referendum, the Boy Blunder Cameron cocked it up right royally - if the rule is that trades unions need a 60/40 majority to legally go on strike, the same rule should have applied to a referendum that will have infinitely greater consequences than industrial action by a union.

And, of course, the simple fact that people like you constantly ignore is that the terms of the referendum clearly state that it was advisory, not binding.

It's you who has a warped view of democracy if you are happy for parliament - the representatives of the whole of the U.K. population, not just those who voted Tory at the GE - to be denied a debate and vote on the terms and conditions of exit negotiated by the government.

Time will tell, of course, but I'm firmly convinced that May is presently paying lip-service to the Brexiteers, whilst she and her cohorts manoeuvre to reach a position where they can reject our leaving the EU. In the meantime, we are left looking on as the disaster the Three Lying Monkeys have wrought upon us unfolds.
