Is Brexit actually going to happen?

Its all an act anyhow - the Express seem very happy about it today

Mind you even the local paper in Portugal has said 52% of the British people have voted for brexit whereas in truth only 16-17% of the British people voted for Brexit (I do count ALL the British people not just those allowed to vote and who did vote).

Even including under eighteens I make it around 26%. How did you arrive at your figure?

Getting mixed up between % and millions I reckon.

If our population was exactly a hundred million percentages would be so much easier.

Shall I merge them? Just like this post if that's your opinion and if there's enough likes then I'll do so.

*I decide how many is 'enough' by the way. It's a rare perk.

Has this post got enough likes yet? Do we have to start a viral petition?

You're supposed to LIKE the bloody post!

the most shameful grubbing for likes i've seen in a long time

I think editor needs to ask the question again.

...but stress that this time he really, really means it. And blame the mods for something.

are mod decisions to be based on whether they receive a sufficient number of likes? it sets a poor precedent

No i mean you are grubbing for likes now. like i am.

He can't ask it a third time however, as i said so.

It's actually Corbyn's fault. The bastard.

Sometimes it's good practice to ask the community what they want when it comes to the fairly trivial matter of merging two near-identical threads.

Well seems 52% of us want it merged and 48% Don't ..... and Merge means Merge!

 

[Yossarian]

Why should we merge with that thread when there are bigger, more interesting threads all over the place we could merge with? It'd be the easiest thing ever to arrange.

Similar threads, but with different polls, can they be merged?

The poll on the other thread is somewhat more up to date, with options tailored to the current situation, that thread has also been moving much faster since it was started.

Maybe just lock this one, as it's almost 3 years old, and therefore somewhat out of date?

I hope you'll be checking the spending of those campaigning for a thread merger.

I reckon danny la rouge has been using dodgy Russian money in an attempt to subvert the democratic wishes of the community...

I need reasons to merge written on the side of a bus first.
Just make up anything.

My mistake if you look at this post The British People have voted for BREXIT you can see the logic for the minority.

I apologise for any misleading statements.

However it still leaves the fact that the British people did not vote for brexit only a minority did! The strange thing is the government seem to feel that running with a minority vote in a referendum is perfectly ok. To be true to the referendum the government should do nothing as the majority of people who could vote didn't so in being true to the referendum or carrying out the will of the people the government should sit on its arse and do nothing.

Anyone know anything about this? Hopefully it won't impact on the £350m going to the NHS.

Which £350 million is that?

That link is to figures posted by you that show a majority of people who could vote did. Bizarre way to conduct a debate.

Yes, this is generally how voting works. Unless you live somewhere with compulsory voting. And voting for kids I suppose.

You'll save 350mb of storage every week if you leave the threads.

I've heard the people's message loud and clear: start merging random threads immediately.
