People’s Vote campaigners know they’re championing a lost cause

If Tony Blair's still alive, then he should continue to represent his local constituency until he dies or voluntarily resigns. Only then should a local byelection be allowed.

He is. That's why I picked him.

Well, that plus the effect on Blackshirt's blood pressure.

So how on Earth would it be practical to have an EU in/out referendum every few years? Just think about the implications.

I'd go for a Scottish independence referendum every Robbie Burns Day.

It appears the UK will be leaving. Many Brexiteers also thought Garage actually had a plan beyond Brexit and then passing the responsibility on to others to figure it out from there. Not the kind of guy who thinks things through. Even now he has no clear post-Brexit plan.

You do realise that Farage isn't an MP and wasn't a part of the official Leave campaign?

Also, I bloody hope we'll be leaving. That's what we voted for after all. It's what is commonly known as "democracy". I expect people's democratic decisions to be ignored in some shitty Middle Eastern or African country but surely not in the Mother of Parliaments in Great Britain?

Just a shame for you that there's no political party that wants Scottish independence.

And why is it okay for Scotland to leave the UK but not for the UK to leave the EU?

 

[Hoid]

Because the UK joined the EU by choice rather than by force?

Scotland joined the UK by choice.

And it has its own Parliament, unlike England.

Don't be an idiot.

I'm not being an idiot. You need to check a history book. Or Wikipedia.

The Lairds did it just before they cleansed their lands of tennants and sold them into servitude, having them transported to places like Canada as slaves. (Yes, Virginia, there were white slaves ... some of whom ended up in Virginia.)

Scotland joined the Grand Union but the Scots themselves had nought to say about it.

Maybe, Scotland wants to stay in the EU ... and Ulster, too. You may end up breaking apart because of Brexit as your neighbours exit you. Karma de bitch, Mon.

Rather than a referendum it took 12 years of begging

Why's it okay to give the Scots what they want but not the people of the whole of the UK? Do the non-Scottish referendum votes not count?

When were the British people asked whether or not they want to join the EU?

The british people elected the parliament that took that action

No so the Scots.

I'm assuming the Scots who were eligible to vote elected their Parliament that then begged England to be in a union with it.

And when the UK joined the EU in 1973 two thirds of the people were against it, but they were just rather undemocratically ignored.

You mean to tel me that the British people had not elected the UK Parliament of 1973? Interesting.

I said that the British people were taken into the EU against their will.

Well you're assuming wrong, assclown.

It was an UNELECTED parliament.
