- pjc50 8y agoNormally the result would be overturned. See Lutfur Rahman: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-45452342 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-45452342 Apparently the Brexit referendum was "advisory" so this doesn't count. > sounds like a failure of the government structure and charter Everything is a failure of the government structure and charter at the moment, pal.
