"Britain chose X". Hmm but would be interesting to know the "mercantile"/"nativist" proportions in Leave voters.https://twitter.com/DanielJHannan/status/764165708427194369 …

And have you asked yourselves why Tories didn't call ref on H or Lords? Cos all part of ruling elite. EU outside their control.
-
no, there won't be a ref on the Lords because (sadly) there is no public demand for it. There was a demand for an EU ref. Simple
-
No, there wasn't a public demand. Was about Cameron & internal Tory politics
-
yes, there was. Polling showed demand for ref. Cameron promised cos of UKIP threat to Tories as result of that public demand.
-
Perceived threat of UKIP. Tory paranoia. Not same as public demand.
-
not perceived or paranoia. Very real. Referendums offered by most parties in 2010 election due growing pressure after Lisbon

My fave argument RE the HoL. On the table now is the EU. Can deal with the HoL later when/if it's an issue.
-
Bet we don't. (H of L full of English ruling class, not foreigners, so will be left alone)
-
but either way it's a matter for the British people isn't it?
-
Yes, but hopefully based on facts & reasoned arguments, not lies & prejudice spoon fed by Farage, Johnson et al
