"But conservatives held to their promise to the electorate to hold a referendum,unlike Labour who reneged on their promises."

Well yes, apart from what Kevin has said to correct your perspective about Labour and its promises. But now here's summat. What a bloody stupid promise it was from your lot in the first place. You've forgotten that bit. A complete abnegation of the way our democracy is run. Sniffily praising the Tories, especially the idiotic Cameron, for plunging us headlong into utter foolery may chime with whatever principles you might be adhering to, but some of us are just a tad more interested in the actual wellbeing of the country. Sod your Tory principles and sod the Tory party's ever-present need to stave off its own right-wing and the proto-fascistic UKIP. Apart from one or two of you on here, it's amazing how quiet brexiteers have become about those future "opportunities" of ours. Wot we have patently not got. Unless you know different but wot you are cleverly keeping secret from the worried rest of us.
