Surely the will of the majority has to be listened to? the time to argue was before the referendum and the people who did not vote forfeited the right to complain IMO.Quite a lot actually.
THE BANKS and financial institutions caused the CRASH in 2008. The neo liberal politicians like NEW LABOUR and the TORY feckwits
introduced austerity and corporate greed to try and pay for these financial irregularities. Hedge funds like Sisu with off shore tax breaks have benefited
from deregulation by these same spineless politicians. Austerity has therefore resulted in those with the least paying for the excesses of the rich.
Institutions like the FA and FL have loved corporate interference just like the government corrupted by the toxicity of a lobbying culture.
CCFC have suffered from this just like those on benefits and those without the means to pay for a house or an education.
UKIP and FARAGE told those people to blame the immigrants and NOT THE BANKS OR THE LOBBYING CULTURE and the tragedy is that most of them believed him.
ORWELL said the "ballot box is wasted on the English." and he was right.
So you deny that there has been a 40% odd spike in race hate crimes against other nationalities since the referendum? Is there some kind of police and media conspiracy as well?
Why would people be making up stories that they have suffered abuse for being foreign? What about the Polish man murdered for speaking Polish? Was that another conspiracy? The story from Bournemouth was featured in the national media as well.
You're offensive attitude of denying and playing down racism makes me even more glad to be leaving. I'd be pretty ashamed myself if I were you.
I never said that, don't put words into my mouth. Incidents spiked & then dropped back to prior levels, pretty obvious really.
Check your facts rather than pump out nonsense that happens to match your politics.
I think it is the papers have the agenda, bigging up a nice abuse story sells papers.

So 17,410,000 voters are WRONG!... OK.

No, I'm busy enough thanks.I'm working- can you work it out? Thanks.
Its already settled, tough shit,you ain't getting one.The only thing that will settle this is another referendum when we know exactly what brexit means.
If it was settled we wouldn't still be arguing. Do you have trouble understanding simple things?Its already settled, tough shit,you ain't getting one.
I'm not arguing, its you who are struggling with the concept of democracy.If it was settled we wouldn't still be arguing. Do you have trouble understanding simple things?
Because I believe people should be able to vote for 2 clear options over 1, stay in the eu or 2, the mystery box. The reason why this vote hasn't settled things is because it was so vague. If the government agreed terms of exit and then goes to the country with a binding referendum then nobody could disagree with the outcome. Is that undemocratic?I'm not arguing, its you who are struggling with the concept of democracy.

Nice change of subject there pal, classic case of someone losing an argument.You'll get a chance at the next election to vote Corbyn/McDonnell/Abbott and proper fuck up the country.

For a different thread, what we're talking about here is the legitimacy of a second referendum. You've made no convincing arguments against and your attempts to distract are making you look silly.I won the argument, just waiting for May to deliver.
Will you vote for Labour next election, are you happy with their policies?

That was an issue for me. I was happy to be persuaded either way but past the headline '£350m a week for the NHS' and things that didn't stand up to the slightest bit of scrutiny there was nothing. Just look how quickly the major players in the leave campaign all disappeared when they won. They couldn't get out of there fast enough.stay in the eu or 2, the mystery box.

Apropos democracy......, why is Queen Theresa bringing the royal prerogative out of the box to bypass parliament when everything is settled?

The referendum act was very clear but for some reason people now seem to want to ignore what was agreed on. May should have got it straight in to parliament and a vote taken. The longer she hangs about the more likely that MPs will vote the other way and claim people have changed their minds.As I understand it only if the Supreme Court accept the Government argument. Also as I understand it the MPs will nod it through in quick time if the Courts rule against it.
The issue certainly highlights the need for the law to be crystal clear about what freedom of action the Government have after any future referendum.

It is. We fought a civil war to make parliament sovereign. Parliament won. Crystal clear.
The latest argument is that the government wants to carry out the will of the people and so bypass parliament using a royal prerogative.
The will of the people is carried out by it's elected parliament.
I do not see how a government can opt out of our system because it wants to.
If it gets away with it through the Supreme Court, I shall polish up my pitch fork and Farage better watch out for his arse....
That war was a long time ago, it was about the supremacy of Parliament over the Monarch over not over a direct vote of the people.
In those days there wasn't even a universal vote, women certainly didn't count. Things change, you have to have a system in accord with the times.
You'll get a chance at the next election to vote Corbyn/McDonnell/Abbott and proper fuck up the country.
That's no excuse for the government to act illegally; you can't pick and choose which laws apply based on your own agenda.
The tragedy within the political bubble is that prior to Corbyn there was no voice, no alternative to the neo liberal mania for corporatism and austerity.
If corbyn had started five years ago we'd be a lot better off and wouldn't be blaming immigrants for problems that they're innocent of.
Cap Dart, The current Labour leadership is addressing the very things you lament.
The iniquity of low wages, the weaknesses of union recognition AND the unfairness of tuition of fees for those unable to afford to pay for an education and improve their prospects.
I repeat, the tragedy is that this ideological shift did not take place earlier.
'Unelectable' is a tag force fed to the brainwashed.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tuition_fees_in_the_United_KingdomTuition is paid for by general taxation in Germany, although only 27% of young people gain higher education qualification there, whereas in the UK the comparable figure is 48%
Off beam, I heard an interesting thought expressed this morning that rented accommodation from buy to let landlords should include an element of property purchase for stable long term tenants. Its appalling that someone could rent for 5-10-20 years and end up with nothing to show for all that investment.
Lack of a deposit. Paying high levels of rent with nothing to show for it. Sounds a bit like CCFC's arrangement with ACL.
