Brexit

[CL]

You are right Travs.

If Remain win 52 / 48 I wonder what concessions they will give to Leavers? Maybe a best of 3? In fact what would they have given had ref 1 been like that?

As Stolly said earlier "something that recognises the split in the country and feels like a sensible compromise that could broadly satisfy both points of view"

Somehow, had Cameron and his mates won 52/48 I cannot see they would have offered the 48% anything. It would have been stupid as the options with the EU were only ever In or Out. This halfway stuff is bogus fudge from people that want to pave the way for a return.

I actually think there are other issues here linked in to Devolution.

The English outside of London are largely ignored. They have been left out of the Assemblies that Wales, Scotland and NI have.

London has it's assembly, strong links to Parliament and International standing.

England has proportionately more people per MP as well, so pro rata less voice in the Commons.

England outside of London has a democratic deficit and was strongly pro-Brexit. There will be consequences for the politics of the UK.

That's right Richard. Shauneto was saying Democracy was an ongoing process but we wouldn't have heard any of that talk from him if Remain had won. Indeed Dominic Sandbrook writing in the Daily Mail Monday: 'And whether we like it or not, the plain fact is that Britain must find room for both tribes, the 17.4 million who voted Leave as well as the 16.1 million who voted Remain.'


Well he's a Remainer who knows full well any compromise between Leave and Remain is a win for Remain. Again we wouldn't have heard any of this compromise nonsense if Remain had won. Not a squeak. In fact all those Leave politicians who think they can achieve anything like Brexit through compromise are fools.
