Re: Angela Rayner

There are many reasons why Labour and the left should support leaving the EU but fundementally Labour should support it because that's what the country voted for and we are a democracy. Just like the Tories came to accept devolution because that's what people voted for.

It's mad it's 2022 and people still can't accept it.

Some Tories didn't accept the Welsh devolution result and tried to vote it down.

Yeah, I addressed that earlier. And they were fools to do so.

Re: Angela Rayner

I really don’t get the view that people or a party should support something if the people vote for it. Just because (usually a minority of the actual population) they win a vote, you don’t abandon all your beliefs and change sides, it’s ludicrous to suggest that.

Re: Angela Rayner

No, I do think not accepting an election result is mad.

It was a referendum.

25% of adult Welsh electorate voted for devolution. Think turnout was little more than 50%. Anyway, I doubt devolution is supported by 50% even now..

Good point and clearly evidenced by the way 'Abolish the Welsh Assembly' romped into power in the last Senedd elections.

Wouldn't it be astonishing if less than 50% of the population did not believe they should run their own country?

Re: Angela Rayner

The figure in 2016 was 48% ;)
