Blackbriar 8,569 Posted June 25, 2016 Report Share Posted June 25, 2016 ....but the war may not be over yet ! An online petition, demanding a re-run of the EU referendum, has gained over a million signatories. It claims that the winning margin was not wide enough, or the turn out high enough, for the result to be valid. Only 100,000 'signatures' are needed for a parliamentary discussion to be considered. http://www.standard.co.uk/news/politics/eu-referendum-government-website-crashes-as-thousands-of-remain-voters-demand-second-contest-a3279936.html Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Fieldsporthunter 1,864 Posted June 25, 2016 Report Share Posted June 25, 2016 Bet every signature is a mix of students and Lefty types that are either in cloud cuckoo land or have no real experience of life and are to weak and feeble to be free, they need the system to be told what to do. Its theese types that gave our country away in the first place. Let coybyn and his types go and f**k them self's. 7 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
desertbred 5,490 Posted June 25, 2016 Report Share Posted June 25, 2016 Surely the Referendum was singular in or out and the majority won, isnt that democracy? If only 3 people vote and two vote out then thats the majority. There should be no other Referendum in Either England Scotland or N/Ireland..t To keep voting until a decision favours a minority isnt Democracy is it ? 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DIDO.1 22,838 Posted June 25, 2016 Report Share Posted June 25, 2016 There won't be a second referendum. I hope there is but there won't be. If a second referendum is proposed it will galvanise the true British even more, especially since everyone noticed the sky didn't fall in. We may even get a riot out of it if they did!!!! Bring it on!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Blackbriar 8,569 Posted June 25, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2016 There IS a precedent, though - Sturgeon said their referendum was "once in a lifetime", and now look ! The remaining EU are meeting to draw their battle lines against us, while our lame duck PM sits on his hands saying he is "not the right person to lead an exit", and that his successor should envoke article 50. I say "get on with it Dave - like it or not, your the PM. Do your job !" 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
walshie 2,804 Posted June 25, 2016 Report Share Posted June 25, 2016 It could go on forever, although I believe we'd still get another out vote. Anyone asking for another referendum is asking this country to throw democracy out of the window. I'd have hated it if the remains had won, but they didn't. If they had, I would just gulp and accept I was outvoted. The only saving grace in this is half the government want out too. If they were all remain mongs, it might be different. So to all the people who voted remain - Tough luck losers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

LOLCouldn't Make it up lol If they want to be part of the EU, immigration and all that goes with that much why don't they just move to Europe, become a migrant and experience true multiculturalism first hand. Probley to stupid and scared of change to work it out for them self's without the system telling them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kanny 20,611 Posted June 25, 2016 Report Share Posted June 25, 2016 From the BBC news website " The fact that more than one and a half million people have signed a petition calling for a second EU petition has attracted a lot of attention - but it has zero chance of being enacted." http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-eu-referendum-36629324 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Trying to muddy the waters for Boris, I reckon but I've just got a tiny nagging doubt that says he's playing for time...... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
