The thing that really pulls my plums is the way that the govt feels that it has (and, in the absence of anyone challenging them, it has) the freedom to speak on behalf of all brexit voters and, by extension, on behalf of everybody.
'The referendum result clearly shows that the people of Britain want so and so..'
Fuck that noise. The one thing definitely missing from this is clarity. Less than a third of the population voted for Brexit and those that did so voted for a number of reasons, immigration being one - and within that there were multiple viewpoints. Some dipshits voted brexit because their local council had reduced wheelie bin collections to tri-weekly.
Basically; you voted for some intangible concept, now we're going to decide what it was you were actually voting for.
That shit needs a mandate.
- Yup. 17 million voted leave, 16 million voted stay. And only 36.9% voted Tory at the GE. But 'the' people have spoken.monoboy
- and 'the' people said... 'we're sick of foreigners coming over here stealing our jobs and claiming our benefits.'monoboy
- and NOBODY voted for this govt. They just happened to be the most buoyant turds in the bowl.Fax_Benson
