If we have a decision of this magnitude made (either way) on a narrowly divided country, we leave about half the country disenfranchised.

Both camps were appalling at putting together a reasoned debate and the leave camp retracted what can only be called campaign LIES moments after the result.

A second referendum with some actual measured debate and some understanding of the genuine implications is what the country deserve, I believe if this happens something more decisive would come of it. If that was to be leave so be it.

Totally agree. The Tories could never have backtracked on years of over the top eu bashing and labour totally failed to give any real idea of the likely impact of leavung on their core voters. I also believe Labour should've comitted to fighting for proportional representation domestically as a positive way to promote establishment change

Because the actual results of the "vote" have proved it's statistically equivalent to flipping a coin.

Only insane people do the same thing over and over which is why he said he doesn't want another referendum.

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.

We all know by now both sides were spouting lies. Sadly some couldn't see past those and will have voted based on those lies. You still come across as though you know what will happen 5 to 10 to 20 years down the line if we stay in the EU. You however do not know this. All we all know is if we'd stayed in we wouldn't have rocked the boat and be facing instability for however long it'll be.

It's hard to embrace the unknown but if you had a crystal ball that showed in 10 years the EU had imploded and failed as a project you too would vote out. You cannot say that there isn't a chance this will happen as you don't know. To be honest I was anxious when I first saw the result as it is a leap of faith into the unknown and it could go either way.

One way I like to look at things is if we were out of the EU now and doing OK as a country would we want in based on what we see happening? There would have to be some serious benefits for us to consider joining I think yet based on what the EU offered Cameron when he asked earlier this year I doubt you'd be offered what you wanted. That's one of my thoughts I was having whilst considering which way to vote.

What was the percentage of people that voted in the conservative party? Should we redo that too as we have 65% unhappy?
 
I was hoping this place would be a little less retarded than the facebook posts of the last day or so.. It appears not then!!
One one hand we have people whining about giving a brexit vote but didn't mean it *well why did you vote it then you utter ****ing moronic pleb.
Why can't we just accept the result and work together to make in roads into the EU Mk2 or whatever, without the dam monetary / fiscal / dictatorship union being involved.
WHy is that so hard a concept for everyone (on the remain side) to grasp FFS.

Just listen to Hannen back in February for heaven sake. Articulate, measured response to what brexit will be if it can actually get away from all this petty back stabbing name calling utter ****ing ******** posted everywhere. Rant over!!

oh yea the video.

I belittle people who voted to leave for the wrong reasons. I have also said on a few occasions that if people voted that way for the right reasons, I don't bear any grudge against them.

It seems that the leavers are all being very short sighted and they have no argument at all aside from WE WON MOVE ON LOL... Sickening.

So you can ignore me? :p

Fair enough. In user CP. :)
 
I think we should embrace the idea of a petition to retrospectively change the result of things. Got this one ready just in case England lose at Euro 2016

"We the undersigned call upon HM Government to implement a rule that if England get fewer goals than the opposing team in Euro 2106 that the game is replayed"

;)

I agree. Cameron has done Britain and the world a huge disservice by abandoning his word and refusing to pull the trigger.

I don't know about that, there are a number of ways to move forward, and a quick article 50 isn't necessarily the best option. Getting a new leader in and having a conversation about how we will actually proceed over the next few years is the best thing to do right now.

They are entitled to vote leave for absolutely any reason that makes sense to them. It doesn't have to make sense to you. That's the point of democracy.
