The manifesto this govt was elected on said there'd be a referendum,
and that the govt would implement the people's decision.


So no legal obligation then.

Nope. They asked the country what they *thought* and the county came
back close to 50:50. Hardly a resounding indication that the 'country'
wanted one thing or the other and hardly surprising considering the
lack of real information, schedule or plan.

So what we have since found out is that many of the fanatics here
didn't vote for us the simply 'Leave the EU', they had other agenda
(like bringing the whole EU down).

I wonder how many of those who voted leave because of 'immigration who
have since learned just what little difference it will make because of
how much the UK relies on immigrant workers.

The only people who try to defend the fact that the referendum was
(actually / legally) just an opinion poll (irrespective of what anyone
'promised' as we know such promises are bs) just want it to carry on
and everyone to keep quiet because they realise just how bogus the
whole this is.

Democracy is all about discussing all avenues (old and new) and we
shouldn't carry on marching into the unknown if it's anything other
than 100% positive the outcome will also be positive for the majority.
