Steve, my only claim in the OP was that we were promised a binding referendum.
For that I was vilified, insulted and abused but we were, by the government and in a document delivered at tax payers expense to every home in the country.

As ever, I was right and you were wrong.

In this post Steve, you show that you believed the referendum to be binding, so when did you learn the truth?

What rubbish. You want the whole population to make an irrevocable decision on an extremely complex matter that will affect the country for many decades (including - especially including - people who are too young to vote). That was a bad choice to begin with, all the worse because that choice was made by Cameron for all the wrong reasons. The very least that should have happened was a huge education programme. Well pigs might fly. With politicians on two opposing sides that was simply never going to happen. The country was peddled lies from both sides and the thresholds for turnout and voting outcome were set way too low. Just over one third of those eligible to vote are dragging us out of the EU. Unconscionable. Indefensible. And lopsided, in that one choice put before the public was irrevocable whereas the other was reversible
