The referendum was not actually binding on the government.The referendum was not actually binding on the government.The referendum was direct democracy.Then why allow the people to vote?...and here I thought the UK was a democracy.
The UK is not a democracy. What made you think that?
Citizens are allowed to vote in representative republics and constitutional monarchies.
I think that they would be foolish to ignore the result and I do not think that they will.
What will happen is that, as the negotiations progress , the stupidity of the vote will emerge and they will come back to the people again for confirmation.
The whole basis of the brexit case has now collapsed and been seen to be a pack of lies. It cant go through on this basis.
Then what was the point?
It sounds to me like I can take comfort in the knowledge that Americans do not entirely have the market on stupidity cornered.
