Most decisions are made with a quorum and im in support for it. Maybe we should have another national vote on how we vote in the future, I think consensus will be outright votes rather than majority % limit or PR.
you cant have been reading many of us in here and the wider uk were complaining.
and no it is not so simple and no room for ambiguity.
again how do you not understand democracy can not be based on lies and fears.
its why we have so much legislation in place to protect minorities in all forms, so that the majority can't just over turn the rights of anyone else.
democracy is not and never has been majority wins. Again theres a huge amounts of safeguards in place to actively prevent that, safeguards that where totally ignored in this vote.
Because people want to have their cake, eat it, and have the neighbour starve to top it off. Of course, the world doesn't work like that so they're in for a rude awakening.

Bit of hyperbole there, really.
Germany: service 70%, industry 29.1%, and agriculture 0.9%.
UK: service 78.4%, industry 21%, and agriculture 0.6%.
The reality is that most Western developed countries have undergone de-industrialisation over the past half century. The US, for example, actually have a slightly smaller percentage of industry than us (20.8%), despite being the world's second largest manufacturing nation.
People always complain when they lose, par for the course.

What are you talking about? The Referendum was a perfect example of democracy in action.
Ok, I suggest you go and campaign for better measures on future votes of this type. However this vote has ran its course under the agreed voting mechanism and the outcome will be followed. If it isn't then there will be a high degree of unrest; guaranteed.
And yep lots of complaining. All over the media. Crazy. Oh actually im immune to sensationalism and intelligent enough to understand that the media are drumming up stories and concentrating on the failure of the remain campaign and interviewing idiots (of which you can very easily find on both sides) is not an accurate representation.
so when the lib dems made them promises about doing away with uni fee's which was an outright lie and they admitted they shouldnt have done it afterwards. why didnt that election get turned over ????
The Conservative Party promised to get net migration to below 100,000 in the General Election, do they get kicked out since they cannot and will not achieve this, as it was a lie? How about we start over turning General Elections where one party said something that they then didn't go and do?
Or maybe we could let people listen to what the Politicians say then use our own research and critical thinking skills to make an informed decision on who to vote for. We had months of public debates, I think everyone knew the £350 million figure was a bit dubious, and was in fact a gross figure. Give the electorate some credit.

My apologies, it was the sidelined grassroots out that he was involved with. I wonder if it was his involvement that saw them passed over.
Where else have I been factually incorrect?
how is that an out right lie?#
they weren't the only ones in power. therefore they cant implement what they want. Amazed you cant understand this and what a coalition means, but then again it seems most of the public couldn't understand the implications of a coalition.
huge difference between not being able to fulfil manifestos for a perfectly reasonable position.
and out right lies like the 350m which is demonstrably wrong, no ifs or buts.
always been in favour for out right lies to lead to prion sentences, might sound harsh. but it's extremely damaging to the country and extremely hard to fix.
but again not fulfilling most pledges is very different to out right lies. although your example is a lie.
herd mentality, so no I don't agree that people voted from a knowledgeable position and should be trusted.

You were wrong when you were saying £350m should now be spent on the NHS and other people pointed out that Leave wasn't the government and could only suggest how the money could be spent
I said the people were misled. That's not factually incorrect. It couldn't be more correct.
If you don't have the authority then don't make the promises.
They didn't make promises, you're deliberately using language incorrectly to make your argument sound better. They could not make promises, they're not in Government!
He is talking absolute Glaucus garbage, as always. Glarbage.
According to the protesters, the result isn't a reflection of the majority of the country. Hard to say, but it's a majority of those who were willing to vote. Making fools of themselves.
I'd love them to canvass more people in this protest, someone earlier said 'I don't know why i'm here but I think it's important to be here'.
And no, it wasn't Roy Hodgson.

When you say incorrectly do you mean innit saying what you think I am or what you want me to say?
Do you honestly believe that putting '£350m a week' and the NHS badge on a bus isn't intentionally misleading?
