As above. If brexiteers had secured a mandate by winning an actual majority of votes from the total of all eligible voters then I would not be supporting a second referendum or any attempt to block brexit.
Big change via referendum should always carry a minimum number of votes, or percentage of eligible voters to be effectuated. Our side was not for big change, therefore remain would not and never should have been required to hit the same numbers. You may argue this is unfair, but it is the referendum rules must countries abide by when putting big policy decisions to a public vote. For big change to be actioned enough people must support it, and definitely not a minority among all eligible voters would have been enough anywhere else in the world. And I take it you will be wanting second, third , fourth votes etc for all elections from now on where there is not a 100% turnout and the winning party/person does not receive a majority from all those who voted. |

It's about time a few on here stopped lying about "democracy" and just admit that they are only interested in stopping the UK leaving the EU by any means.
I'm expecting a thread showing support for military "intervention" soon. |

because we , the 48 % will ask for one .. along with quite a few Leave voters, who - when recently polled by YouGov - stated that they would be unwilling to be even 100 pounds worse off a year as a result of Brexit.
I think it would be a lot worse than 100 pounds a year for quite a few of them actually. |
