but are the actions of a few morons relevant to the brexit debate.

Yes when it becomes a public order issue. By that we (mostly politicians) look to the numbers. And Blaming the Brexit vote is not the same as clammering for another referendum, or asking for the situation to be changed to "our favoured situation".

Ask a question and you get your answers. A referendum is a question. If you don't like the answers you shouldn't ask the question. Call it unintended consequences and I will tell you you are a denier. There are no unintended consequences, only things that you didn't consider, didn't think through, didn't analyse, found to complex to figure (need any more non euphemisms?) er lets be truthful - denied, dismissed. Some people, still denying them.

In this world there is only (analogy alert) spaghetti. Pull one piece and others slither your way. That's life, get over it, and don't duck your responsibility when you gobble. And chew every mouthful like momma told you.
