Little damages our nation more than the poison and lies of the Remoanabores denying the outcome of a free & democratic vote. None has the interests of our country at heart.https://twitter.com/jolyonmaugham/status/946281981062668289 …

True, the number remainers now far exceeds, leavers. But, brexit "democracy" is a single event

In the great scheme of things, “about the same number” is correct. I seem to recall that Sir - sorry! - Mr Nigel Farage said he would campaign for a second vote if the outcome was 48:52 Remain.

Yes about the same number! Leave was 17,410,742 and Remain was 16,141,241 - of eligible electorate..over 12m didn't or were prevented from voting..hardly a stonking majority is it?

Yes. You know full well what the figures are so stop trying that on. It's deceitful. The actions of your government are, in effect, disenfranchising those who did not vote Leave. The proper response to the vote would have been to seek an acceptable compromise but...
-
@JuliaHB1 is frequently deceitful. She makes inflammatory statements and then when challenged denies the obvious intent. -
A clear sign of an incompetent government and people who are not fit for the position they are in.

More than wanted to leave now the lies are unraveling...
-
Strictly speaking less than 38% of eligible voters chose to Leave in EURef, given that 13M didn't vote. If you want change, you take the once-in-a-generation chance to make that change. The majority did not choose Brexit.
-
But the majority of voters did. So brexit. That's how referendums work. News to you eh.
-
Really? Oh OK. Here's me sat here thinking that an abysmal low-fact high-fear campaign on both sides yielded a marginal advisory result that was rightly being ignored by the MPs we elect to protect our nation's best interests. Silly me, hadn't noticed Brexit happening at all.
-
When you say 'advisory result' you lose the argument.The gov sent a leaflet to every household saying they would honour the result of the EU REF. From then on it wasn't advisory. I agree with your point about the lies told by both sides but you can't tell people they voted wrong
-
Farage didn’t say he would honour a result if remain won by such a tiny number. Not over by a long way. The mistake was not to need a super majority...
-
Who gives a fuck what farage said. He has never and hopefully will never be elected an mp in this country. Despisable. If mistakes where made, then it was by whomever voted the conservatives(cameron) in, a calamity this country may never recover from.

17.4 million people care about what he says apparently

Are you querying my maths or my grammar? 52-48 is very close to 50-50, it really is, so maybe it was my grammar...
-
Maths or not there was 1.3 million people who voted leave more than remain. However doesn’t take away from the fact that nobody, including me, you or Julia knew what they were voting for. Brexit is about the most abstract concept people have ever had to deal with.

Are you really saying that the view of a 5 year old or that of a 19 year old who couldn't be bothered to get out of bed should count as a No vote? When ppl speak about a majority obviously they are referring to the franchised who could be bothered to exercise their right to vote.
-
In a properly conducted constitutional referendum, you have to be sure there Really is sufficient demand for change. For that reason, you compare the vote for change with the total electorate. In those terms, Leave did not meet even a 50% threshold.
-
I suspect you mean a constitutional referendum conducted in accordance with your wishes. The EU referendum as run was approved by the UK Parliament.
