What on earth does the wording to this mean? :confused:

"We the undersigned call upon HM Government to implement a rule that if the remain or leave vote is less than 60% based a turnout less than 75% there should be another referendum."

It means what it says.

If the leave vote is less that 60% and turn out less that 75%, the result is not decisive

But why would 48% of the population wish to embrace the other 52% who seemingly hate to embrace anyone who isn't British?

Ok great that will of course apply ro all future referendums.

So the default position is leave.

And eill remain so unless remain get more than 60% of 75% turnout.

If they dont achive that the leave vote stands
 
Basically the government should never have asked the question.

Because we've put our self's in unknown territory, which is very dangerous.

The question was only part of the Conservative manifesto so that they could get in to power.

Actually having to leave now is a different ball game.
 
So 2 days in we

Have effectively no real plan forward
Have annoyed our neighbours
And have no effective prime minister
Have a completely split country
On verge of complete split of UK

Ws this the plan ?
 
Oh, I signed while connected to a French VPN, so I guess mine will show as French? :p

Ahh you're approaching bus pass age! Now I understand your view on things...

I will now dismiss your posts as irrelevant... I can't expect you to see sense. Can't teach an old dog new tricks and all that... :)

How many times do I have to mention that it was Nigel Farage who stated that a 52 48 split should call for a second referendum.

I think most people ignore him on both sides, personally if he were on the remain I think it would have been a bigger margin. Interesting that you only agree with him when it suits. :D

This situation can be totally reversed though. If we'd decided to vote in then the EU dropped a few bombshells on us that we didn't like the remain voters could be feeling the same way.

I am struggling to understand how all those in the remain camp ultimately know that remaining in is the best choice. Can someone please explain this to me? The same as those in the leave camp ultimately do not know it will result in being the best choice. Leaving is however the choice that has been voted for so we now have to go with it.

In my head I cannot tell you where either path will have lead us in 5 or 10 years time so you all must have some type of super power that I do not. It does appear that people are reacting like this due to fear of the unknown, which I can understand.

Well, I think people would have voted differently if they knew the below facts:

1. NHS is not going to get 350 million (which in the first place was an incorrect amount in the first place rather than fact).

2. The borders will not be closed to immigration.

3. We are definitely not going to get 'better trade deals'.

I am pretty sure even the 1st point by itself could easily swing 0.9% of the voters which was, all of the difference. It's not exactly 4% difference, it was 1.9% of people more who had voted to leave.

Also, with no disrespect to elder community, unfortunately the majority of whom voted to leave - they won't have to deal with all the crap and won't lose much.

I am not talking about 70/30 but a 58-60% minimum voting either way should be the quota before actually doing something like that. 0.9% more of population isn't a majority.

My view is we should invoke article 50 when we are ready to do it. That essentially means when we have a new PM in place. If we are pressured into doing it now then we will lose three months of the two years as DC isn't behind leaving and so wouldn't be best placed to start negotiations.

The leave vote was about taking control. The first thing we do mustn't be to bend to the EU's wishes at the disadvantage of the UK.
