To those who voted to stay in the EU..........

[Deleted Member 1156]

Majority of those that voted, minority of the electorate.

72% turnout, 51% voted out, only 37% of electorate

If people couldn't be bothered to get off their backsides to vote then that is their decision. There was a majority vote....end of.

You may argue that if there had been a 100% turnout we would have voted stay but that is complete hypothesis as it may also have been a landslide to leave, we will never know.

Are you living in a time warp?

Yes, 2017 according to the predictions of Doom frae Troon.

Come on! If the vote had been the same percentages but reversed you wouldn't be saying that. You are just talking sour grapes as you never goy your way. We will leave the EU, saying the referendum was advisory is putting your head in the clouds. It's best to get over it now and get on with life, you never know it may turn out well after the initial posturing and flapping.

Where did I say it was advisory? I responded to the OP's question:

I said that I hope it will be seen that way, I hope that we do not leave the EU, I hope many things. But as I stated, I expect that we will leave the EU.
I also expect everything will end up FUBAR

I believe Bobmac was asking people who voted leave what they would like to see happen next but what they actually think would happen next

The thread has again turned into your crusade to dismiss anyone who has voted remain

We get your point - you believe that we will leave the EU no matter what - others believe there is a long way to go yet

I don't make any hypothesis of what may have happened, all I'm saying is that those are the numbers (whether I like it or not) in respect to Louise's earlier post.

Would like to see a referendum on the negotiated arrangement.

If it's to join the EEA can see it being rejected.

Incidentally, I believe that if we do leave we will rejoin in the future. Might be decades from now but it'll certainly be on less preferential terms than we've enjoyed until now.

My Mrs thinks a Brexit will never happen, part of me tends to agree with her.

They already seem to be putting clause 50 further and further back.
Any PM [and maybe party] who starts the process will be toast within a very short time.

Mrs Doom suggests Brexit is a dead haggis forcing the pound to plunge against all major currencies, stock markets tumble out of control, the government are fearing being impaled on spiked forks and being held in front of bonfires until they singe.

Frightening times we live in

This may come as a bit of a shock to you but the UK is a democracy and as such we abide by democratic decisions. If you prefer a different system then maybe North Korea may be an option for migration.

My word, you managed to infer all that form Doon frae Toon's little post?

All I got was that she didn't think Brexit would happen!

Thats rich. You are on a crusade to dismiss anyone who voted to stay. Me thinks you protest too much.

Wrong again.

Here is your thread where you can state what you want to happen and what will happen

And why would i dismiss anyone who wanted to stay - that's the same as what I want ?

No, she never suggested any of that.
She just said she thinks it will never happen.
What a seriously weird imagination you have.

 

[bobmac]

Don't know why I bothered.
If people can't reply to my question, then can the mods close this thread please.
Thank you to those who tried

 

[Doon frae Troon]

Interesting in the duplicate but opposite thread only one forumerr has given his/her reply to........... what do you think should happen next?

It's called a sense of humour

OK, that was a typo but I guess you already know that

Did you vote to stay in the EU?

I would like to think that sense will be seen before it is too late and the whole stupid idea gets scrapped after all it was voted for by a minority of the electorate.

I hope that the government decide to use the referendum as a poll rather than a binding deal, take the outcome under advisement but do not invoke article 50.
They should say to themselves "37% of the electorate voted to leave the EU, this means that a lot of the people are fed up and change is needed". "Also, if we ever do a Referendum again, we must make the vote harder to lose, say 50+% of the entire electorate must vote for the winning side, rather than just the majority of those who bothered to vote".
They then make the necessary changes to make everyone happy, and do not exit the EU.

I do not expect this to happen. I predict a long, drawn out negotiation in which we get shafted by the EU. After all, these are the same people who managed to sell off the Post Office so effectively!

Pretty much the same as any General Election then, save that the turnout figures for a GE are even lower. Don't notice the same issues then; curious how people can apply it to Brexit but not a General Election.

If people couldn't be bothered to get off their backsides to vote then that is their decision. There was a majority vote....end of.

Is the correct answer.
