EU!

[Millietant]

Forgive me lads , but how can it be democratic if only 2% less than half of those who voted wanted to remain in the EU? What it has done is divided the country and that is not something to be celebrating. Next thing is Scottish Independence and they look to go back in to the EU, There goes some of your main resources. If that happens Northern Ireland will follow suit or maybe reunite with the republic (god forbid, we have enough trouble looking after ourselves) :eek .  There goes your United kingdom, the Great in Great Britain and the Union Jack dies a death. The EU funds for the major road upgrades in mid Wales pulled and then the death knell if Wales start thinking Independence.
It will be great for Ireland, the fact the UK left the EU as we will be the only English speaking country in the EU :woot which can only be to our advantage and a big cold wild sea around us to keep the unwanted out :lol

I wish you the best with increased Interest rates to prop up the Pound while it tries to regroup in an uncertain economy.  :pokefun

Politics and the voting systems are never fair, except the part where everyone agrees on the "majority wins" and that is what OUR democracy is based on.


That's the way we do it and there were 4% more (2% more than half is still more than half) voters went for Leave. Under our way of doing things, that is democracy at workand that means Leave won fair and square. Because you don't like it, don't go claiming undemocratic - what is undemocratic is refusing to accept a democratically achieved result.


Had Remain won by 4%, I'm sure you wouldn't be on here spouting about it being undemocratic - and I for one wouldn't be shouting down the result, I'd be supporting the majority decision of my compatriots and then doing everything I could to make it work.
