Thread Name: BS: Irish referendum
Subject: RE: BS: Irish referendum
The very large majority of the population who did not allow themselves to be bamboozled by sound-bites, racist slogans on vans, lies on buses, xenophobic rhetoric, a mindlessly-repeated ad-nauseam 'Take Back Control', and a daft, airy-fairy idea of returning to the 1960s and prior, to vote 'Leave' can not, by any stretch of the imagination, be described as 'quislings'. These are people who believe they have the very best interests of the UK at heart, as part of an established, co-operative bloc of nations who trade together and in the wider world, and take advantage of a homogenised tax/tariff system.

And, unless you can show that all those who didn't vote would have voted to remain: An even larger 'majority' did not allow themselves to be bamboozled by the false predictions of 'Project Fear'. Those who voted leave (except if for purely personal financial considerations) also had the best interests of the UK at heart.
