You can twist and turn it any way you like, there WAS a vote, it was democratic, and you just keep complaining and whining about democracy when you don't like the outcome.
The current PM's actions are quite illegitimate.
If that is so go to the courts. Otherwise whatever you say is just an empty bag of hot air.
Of course, you won't do that - because you know very well the current UK government is perfectly legitimate.
And "brexit" was voted for by the people. People like you only start complaining when they dislike the result - or please show me your similar complains when the result was to your liking, because there always are people who abstain. Only votes from people who vote count, what a huge surprise.
- sandbags 10y agoWhy do you have to take such a tone? Can we not disagree and argue without adhominem attacks? Your argument is a fallacy. In any division there are going to be those who agree and disagree with the outcome. Of course the people who get what they "wanted" don't argue against it. But they also shouldn't argue against the legitimacy of those who don't to continue to argue their point. That is the difference here. Yes, there was a vote on an advisory referendum that had not specific details about what the outcome should be. What does that make legitimate? If Theresa may had decided that to leave the EU we had to go to war with Europe, would that be legitimised by the vote? This argument is about the terms of any such approach and how to legitimise those.
- sandbags 10y agoI will add that there are two current legal challenges and I suspect there will be more.
