A thank you to Brexiteers.

Who said that a narrow victory of 52% to 48% would be unfinished business? Step forward one N farridge

If the result had been the reverse, he was right to suggest it would be unfinished business. Do you question why Scotland continue to go on seeking independence? It will be unfinished business, all the time, until they succeed.
 
I don't think anyone here has suggested that it would or could. But when discussing the political fall-out from that vote in one constituent polity of the unitary state, it seems entirely appropriate to set that in the context of the expressed will of the people there.

The UK vote determined what that "will of the people" would look like. If remainers had won the day, your argument would be valid. But remainers didn't win the vote. NI is not an independent state. That's life.

The uk's not an independent state, it's a rule taker not a rule maker. Even the time we left the eu was dictated by brussels
 
Enthusiastic new member or is this user name a duplicate/rejoining I wonder?

After the Wales devo ref in the 1990s - about 50% each way on a 50% turnout - there was a precedent for deciding important questions on fuck all margin

You appear to be arguing against the remainer assertion that the UK didn't lose any sovereignty. Remainer arguments are mixed up, and contexts are mashed. You are a pretentious twerp.

You plainly are. "the time we left the eu was dictated by brussels"
We've already seen in the last few minutes what a dishonest shit you are, editing your 13955 after it'd been replied to. Now you're showing how utterly stupid you are as you ignore the post I was replying to, namely your bit about ni not being an independent state
 
So, your understanding of democracy would allow you to contemplate the Tories being an automatic selection as a government?
You question in a post that quotes me has no relationship to what I posted.
I said the EU was democratic, maybe clunky and remote, but democratic nonetheless if by democracy you mean the ability of the people to choose and remove the EU leadership.
What do you think the EU structure actually is? A monarchy? parliamentary democracy? A dictatorship? A theocracy? A one party state?
Take a deep breath and try to formulate coherent posts.

I'm saying - it isn't. A one party state would be getting close to the mark.

If you said that NI is not an independent state, I agree. It doesn't fall outside of the leave vote.
 
You are quite wrong I am afraid.
It might be what you believe, but it is not an actual fact.

What would you call it, when you cannot remove an institution and government? It is not open to a vote to change it. You can change faces, but not the central policy organisation. China love it.

You can't remove parliament, it's not open to a vote to remove it. You can change faces but not the institution.
 
I haven't ignored anything - the remain vote didn't take priority, and doesn't, even in those regions and constituencies that voted remain. That's way it goes.
No, the context of your comment about the UK voting as a single polity was in response to someone referring the remain majority in NI as relevant background to the political stalemate resulting from DUP(ERG) determination that the part of the UK on the island of Ireland should be treated exactly the same as GB.

Remain are not the majority, in any region. That question was decided. Leading up to our leaving, remain expected all kinds of remain wishes to be met. They didn't win the right to choose Brexit policy, and still don't.
 
Just bizarre, don't understand what are you even arguing about, is it that you want a forced national celebration our newfound sovereignty and are angry that people arent more joyous or what.
 
Parliament is not the government. I'd ask you if you'd be happy to allow the Tories to be continually returned unchallenged.
Yes, I know you would. You talk about being outraged that you can't change eu institutions but you can't muster the same outrage about the same difficulty with uk institutions. Just give up now, you're doing the cause you affect to support no favours

Just the blame when it didn't work, sounds legit
 
Not at all. It's your limitations everyone sees. You're unable to respond to even the simplest change in parameters. You think you know fucking everything when you really know fuck all

I actually do know more about Brexit than the majority of remainers. Remainers haven't thought about it, I have. You're arguing from a point of ignorance.

It's simple. The Labour party get to voice an opposing ideology, if they have one, but they don't get to be the government. Same as remainers. They get to shout, but don't hold the position of having had their vote call the shots.
