In retrospect, it didn't go all too well with the mandate either.
- pavlov 8y agoIn a functioning parliamentary democracy, the proper order of actions for Brexit would have been: 1) UKIP (or a coalition of Brexit-minded parties) wins general election. 2) PM Nigel Farage opens withdrawal negotiations with the EU. 3) 2+ years later, with a complete withdrawal agreement on the table, a referendum is held on whether to accept the deal. 4) If at least 50% of voters support the withdrawal agreement, it comes into effect within two months. This is not a pipe dream — it's exactly how the countries who joined EU in 1995 did it. David Cameron is entirely to blame for this ongoing sad charade that makes a mockery of UK's democratic processes.
