You can still vote for labour at the next GE (or anyone else of your choice).
Yes, but there WILL NOT be another referendum on Europe! This is a ONE TIME deal.

Oh come on. When a new government comes in, how many people can name most of those who get the Cabinet positions? The positions, BTW that we *don't* get to vote for who gets them and we can't sack the Chancellor (Osborne) or the Education Secretary (remember how good Gove was...?) or the Health Secretary (Hunt, loathed by the entire NHS), no matter how bad a job they do!

oh come on, what? the last few governments have turned in mps who were known locally, as well as prominent opposition. We elect a majority party or coalition and they get to choose how they want to configure the gvt. I didn't vote for labour but they were govt between 97-10 (remember how Andrew Brunham pfi'd £600million of the NHS, leaving some trusts broke? or Ed Balls saying he wanted all school kids 'above average' [flipping houses and a numeric moron]). The commision pays lip service to the eu parliament, and does what it wants.
The EU is a plutocratic joke.
