QUOTE (je suis Charlie @ Jan 23 2017, 09:39 AM) Or, over half the country was being forced to remain against their will. Now you are being nonsensical. There was a referendum. Unsurprisingly, the majority decided the outcome.

Here's an article published before the vote in which he warns that a '52-48 result would be unfinished business'. Funny how, because it went his way, it's not interested in this any more.

QUOTE (Turin Machine @ Jan 24 2017, 10:22 AM) How so? Because that's how our democracy is set. Members of parliament represent their party and constituents. If the cabinet decided, then that would mean fewer people would be represented.

We're leaving, I'm losing my rights as an EU citizen . Faceless bureacrats in Whitehall will take over from faceless bureaucrats in Brussels until Trump sorts out a trade deal with us that will grant power to faceless bureaucrats in Washington. Then we will make a deal with the EU and the faceless bureacrats in Brussels will be back. There will always be faceless bureaucrats, I could never see why I should worry about where their offices were. Meanwhile the devaluation of the pound means my savings are worth less and my pension is worth less. The only ray of hope is that increased inflation might see a rise in interest rates at last.
