Keith, it doesn't matter what the confounded leaflet said.

Yes it does, because it was a pledge to every person in the land that the referendum would be binding.
It was never an issue until the people voted the wrong way, according to their betters.

Many people KNEW that before the Ref. YOUR ignorance is YOUR problem.
No need to be abusive, unless that is all you can manage.

Look at Question Time from last Thursday.
Both the Labour and Conservative MPs said that Parliamentarians voted six to one for a referendum in the belief it would be binding.

How clever of you to be better informed than all our MPs.
If I am ignorant, they must all be too!
Not fit to decide on the issue in that case.
Why will you not tell us who informed you, but failed to inform the rest of the country?

I took the time and trouble to read the EU Referendum Legislation today - heavy reading indeed. Nowhere does it say that the result of the referendum will be binding.

It does not say it would not be binding, but that is what the people and the Parliament were led to believe.
