Really, and how many times did we get the chance to re-vote the 1975 referendum on joining the EEC? There was plenty of new information coming to light as the EEC morphed into the EU behemoth. Let me guess though, you want to re-run the referendum only if the people vote the wrong way, and just like the LibDems, you won't accept the result of the re-run if it's still not the right vote. Or perhaps like Labour you feel that if the electorate won't vote your way, you'll just find some new voters who will.
Oh and FYI Theresa May said there was money for a £385m a week boost for the NHS once we Brexit, but the puppet parliament instead wants to keep under-funding the NHS. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/politics...locks-britain/
The biggest lies told during the referendum campaign were all told by the remain side, e.g:
- EU Army was merely a dangerous fantasy;
- David Cameron would invoke Article 50 the day after the referendum;
- 500,000 job losses;
- Recession;
- We'd be 'back of the line' for a trade deal with the US;
- MPs will respect the vote of the people.
Oh and EU tax law is set up to facilitate large-scale corporate tax avoidance, as previously mentioned see double-irish and double-dutch tax arrangements (latter ruled perfectly legal by EU courts). |
Actually i've accepted the ruling. I'm honestly disgusted with both sides now and just want it to be done with. I think anyone is kidding themselves that they can really verify anything either side says is true.
Few have the skillset to either vet or understand the ins and outs of being in or out the EU. Almost everyone who voted is an armchair economist (think along the lines of people who play Battlefield and suddenly consider themselves war experts).
I voted remain because i didnt fully understand the implications of leaving and couldnt trust the information i was getting from either side. As it stands i dont see there is an issue with the EU (just my view obviously).
One things for sure, its a good job we ARE in the EU "AT THIS MOMENT" otherwise bringing back all those holiday makers after thomas cook would sure be expensive. The only reason they are making it back atm is thanks to an EU scheme for repatriation.
I dunno how they could of done the referendum better but the majority of the population dont even understand how banking works in practice let alone trade law etc. Some things are not suitable to be put to the masses as a vote no matter how much they think they understand them.
its like voting wether to turn on the Hadron Collider. Some people heard it may make a black hole OMG. The majority dont even know what the hadron collider is. Similary i dare say the majority (disclaimer: this doesnt mean you reading now) dont really understand how the EU works or the REAL implications for leaving (pros AND cons)
Plenty of boomers voted for this and likely will only see the small immediate effects of it (for good or bad), the real effects i fear will take time to come to light and its our kids who will benefit or suffer.
TLDR: I voted. I didnt get the result i hoped. Im an adult and accepted it and just need for it to be over so i can start planning how to make sure my kids futures are secure.
