BREXIT

David Cameron wrote:

“......... and remember: they can’t undo the decision we take.  If we vote out, that’s it, it is irreversible, we will leave Europe – for good and the next generation will have to live with the consequences far longer than the rest of us.

So, the British Prime Minister effectively made the referendum decision binding ..... the rest is history.

All the comments from those who are trying to turn the result around always seem to ignore one simple fact, we voted to leave and the quote from the British Prime Minister (above) spells out quite clearly what that meant.  If they want to rejoin, then there is a process for doing that, they would be well advised to follow it; there is nothing to stop a future UK Government from applying to join the European Union.

Cameron was a fool to even consider offering a referendum on leaving/remaining in the EU; he was even more foolish to promise to implement the decision of the referendum,.

There was a large public movement against membership of a group no one had ever voted to join and was very unpopular. Only Scotland remaining in the UK made the vote even close to even but, at the end of the day, the majority voted to leave and politicians are supposed to follow the will of the people.
He might very well have been politically stupid, but the result proved holding the vote was the right thing to do as far as the majority were concerned.
All this second vote rubbish is of no concern or you open the door to second votes on everything, even general elections.
I can see it now, the "my party didn't win" lot demanding a new election, then the first lot demanding another to change it back.
Referendum held, won by the leave majority, end of story unless you want chaos.

The useless set of twits in parliament that couldn't set up a boozy party in a brewery are to blame for the mess we see at the moment. The lot are a bunch of wimps without the slightest clue about much - blame them, not the majority of voters.

...or you could always kick out the government by force and create a peoples' popular revolution with military rule and all that goes with it. Right or left wing makes little difference, you'd end up with roughly the same mess, just with a different sort of flag.

Vote over - now keep kicking the politicians so they make the best of it for Britain, something they're failing to do in epic fashion because they're all pathetic wimps (All parties).

This is a non aligned message with a noted bent toward respecting democracy but not wimpy politicians, those including the leaders of all three major UK parties, all of whom are unfit to empty dustbins on a Barnsley council estate, much less run UK politics.

To be fair, we did vote to join the Common Market;

The EEC, yes, but never for the EU.
That's like claiming you voted for the end of school milk because you voted for a tax on beer.

I voted for leave, not for any obtuse reason, just that we don't need the EU to create another layer of politicians and bureaucracy for our national politicians to hide behind; we need less of it, not more.
