I think unfettered immigration that EU membership allowed and even encouraged had a lot to do with the vote . But that is neither here or there . The British lawmakers put a binding referendum to the people who responded overwhelmingly to leave against the advise of those same law makers . The lawmakers have been trying to walk it back since . If the lawmakers put a poor question to the people that is on them . If the lawmakers weren’t willing to follow the referendum results they should not have made it binding , again on them . For three or more years since the referendum the right unhonourable members of parliament have been spitting on their constituents. IMHO
UK Gov In Turmoil & Bexit Mess.

Nearly half (49%) of leave voters said the biggest single reason for wanting to leave the EU was “the principle that decisions about the UK should be taken in the UK”. One third (33%) said the main reason was that leaving “offered the best chance for the UK to regain control over immigration and its own borders.” Just over one in eight (13%) said remaining would mean having no choice “about how the EU expanded its membership or its powers in the years ahead.”
Because our politicians wanted a foreign power to rule Britain.
And I noticed they didn't let the people decide whether or not to join. No wonder considering a majority were against it.
The politicians begged to get in.
Now the PEOPLE have decided to get out.
Do try to keep up.
How the REAL Labour people of yesteryear will be spinning in their graves over the current party's pro-EU stance, especially when its current leader, Corbyn, is a Brexiteer of over 40 years standing.
now the people have decided they want out.
no one has a thrusting clue how to get out.
The politicians know how to get out. They know as well as we do that they only have to declare British independence and say we will longer be dictated to by Brussels - and do it. It's f"cking easy.
They just don't want to honour the referendum result, because they are a bunch of anti-democratic lowlifes.
It IS easy. You're too stupid to see that.
After three and a quarter years, Britain will leave the EU on Halloween without a deal with the EU.
In other words, just the same as would have happened had Britain just declared her independence on 24th June 2016.
It's been three and a quarter years wasted just to achieve something we could have done the day after the EU referendum - just left.
Leaving the EU is EASY. All we have to do is tell the EU: "That's it. We're out. You don't have any authority over us anymore." We're about to do that, yet we could have just done it on 24th June 2016.
How lovely, dear.
Now run along, little boy. I can hear your mummy calling you for your tea.
Do let us know if you ever figure out the difference between an ancestor and a descendant, won't you, simpleton?
Tell me where was Blackleaf wrong about Brexit ? Maybe while you are at it you can explain where and how you got it right ?
