For those who voted 'to get Brexit done'

[Croesy Blue]

People keep quoting this, didn't get 50% of the vote mantra, but we all know that this is the way elections are and always have been decided in this country.
Yet every time labour, and in this case remainers, lose they trot it out like it's a shock, outrageous and shouldn't be allowed. They just cannot accept that they lost and move on.
And the longer they are in that mode the longer it will take to have an effectgive opposition in Parliament.
It really is time to give it a rest.

He's not saying that ffs, try and understand it please.

That's why people bring it up; referendums and elections operate differently, so you can't conclude that people voted for Brexit in the General Election just because a pro-Brexit party ended up with more seats.

It is truly incredibly arrogant to label anyone who disagrees with your positon as gullible and ignorant. They all speak well of you.

I thought Bill was being extremely kind and diplomatic.

Is it really that much of a false equivalence comparing those that believe That Trump had the election stolen and Remainers who for years denied the legitimacy of the Brexit Vote?

I'm not saying the referendum was illegitimate here, but I would say that a major difference is that there were a lot of investigations, recounts and court cases regarding the US election in the space of a few weeks. The argument was simply that Biden hadn't had more votes. I don't think anyone* has said that the vote counting was wrong.


*fao xsnaggle, don't take 'anyone' completely literally. It may have been mentioned by some loon as far as I know.

Totally false equivalence.

No one has disputed the EU Referendum vote in the UK. Very few people have challenged its legitimacy.

A lot of people on both sides of the argument have claimed the other lot were dishonest with their claims.

A lot of people on the Remain side, whilst accepting the result, made the argument that the devil will be in the detail and the people should have an opportunity to decide if they like the detail that finally emerged.

But they only made that argument because they lost!

Rees-Mogg also made that argument before the referendum.

But his side didn't lose.

It's done. It's time foks got over it ad stopped baging on about. Better chanel their energies to making it work.

But of course, as has been said, some people want it to fail and don't care if that damages the country.

It would be a strange argument to make if they had won

"Better chanel their energies to making it work."

How does one do that?

Edit: I missed a great chance for a Coco Chanel joke there

Your last line I think somes it up very well, best not to post any positiveness is maybe the solution ,its like any form of success is a poison ?

Brussels punishes the UK for daring to cut the chains and become a free independent nation once more.

About time the UK started banning EU car imports until each model is type approved for use in the UK, by The Vehicle Certification Agency. That might concentrate the minds of our "friends" in The EU. ��

Well they have a history in spite, best rise above this , we have a broader trade platform than Europe and we will these being played out soon , we will though be more agile than Europe on the world stage .
