I know what did happen. I suggesting what should have happened.


I would have agreed with you, if someone had suggested setting e.g. a
specific majority before the referendum; but nobody did, and it's
nonsense to suggest changing it afterwards.

Since you weren't interested enough to cast your vote


How did you manage to come to that conclusion?


Well, if you were interested, why didn't you vote?

you can't really talk.


Thanks. This is what you call 'democracy' is it Andy?


Well ... yes. If you don't participate you have literally *not* had
your say when you had the chance to.

I'm not trying to be funny, but you're one of the people who keep
raising the "2/3 didn't vote for" as though it is equivalent to "2/3
voted against" when it just isn't.

If the referendum hadn't been on Brexit, but instead had been on paying
pensions to all pets over 11 years old, I'd still be arguing that a
result is a result.
