Well less voted to remain.It was the biggest turn out for years.You can twist the figures as you will but. More people voted to leave .suppose the remainders want another referendum and allow sixteen years to vote.Probably decide that anyone over seventy should not be allowed to vote.These young people have never known what we have lost by being ruled by the EU?

no sue we are ruled by parliament not the EU, just some rules we follow for the good.

OK Brian at the moment the EU set the rules and our parliament
have to agree to them whether we like it or not.
I agree some rules/laws are good but at the same time some have not been, beneficial only to some of those on mainland Europe.
The main thing that really irritates me that at the moment is the continued waffle from EU loving Labour MPs and pundits that only the EU care about the workers, giving the impression that as an independent nation we will throw said workers to the wolves.

You won't win a De Morgan that way, BD.
As a percentage of the total electorate, Leave was around 37.5%.

I've been out scouring the ditches of England and, aside from a turnip, a chicken and a false messiah, I've failed to turn up anything resembling a deceased Conservative pry mincer. So I guess, as a few of our most perspicacious members have several times promised, we'll all be meeting on the great ship 'Independence' tomorrow.
I refuse to believe those mischief-makers who are putting it about that the sailing's been delayed while the crew work out a safe way around a rock called 'Sovereignty', that dozens of rats have been seen jumping ship, and that the passengers have been confined to their cabins to figure out where the lifeboats are.

Having been chugging down a ditch on nbLittleGem as far as Banbury, no sign here either.

We are in a crazy situation
The people voted to come out
MPs did everything possible to stop it happening
The general election will see the tories lose many seats prob to brexit party
And Labour losing seats in its safe seats up norf
Lib dems might gain a few but revelations on the leaders husbands interests
It's going to be a hung house of commons
No one will command a majority

I was going to start another thread but thought this one might be more appropriate.
A shame only the three images of the many Brexit v Remain problem instigators are involved. I just wish I could be there to see their demise.
