I suspect that is because your comprehension of what I said is not very good.

Yes. You got it. If a large section of the people voted remain, or as you say, didn’t care, then you cannot go around saying it was the will of the people.

The will of The people implies a huge majority and a very popular decision. 52% for an unpopular decision for around half the population is not the will of the people.

Yes, if we put a plan on the table.

So in other words you were wrong to keep using the words „will of the people“ as it is obviously not supported by a large majority of people. You can call me a lunatic as much as you want but your hateful anti EU posts show clearly your hatred of the multinational parliament and council, and...

Correct. This terminology stems from the Nazi propaganda in the 30s and their justification for their acts. I am interested to know why you keep quoting it, knowing that even in the Nazi sense, Brexit cannot be described as das Volkswillen. Why do you use this terminology?

Yes, but you cannot call that the will of the people. The vote was split. Parliament is also split as is the cabinet. There is nothing on the table which represents anything like „the will of the people“. Using this Nazi terminology along with your hatred of multilateral organisations and...

What about the 90%? Are you claiming that a 52:48 plus many abstentions is the „will of the people“? The vote was won, but to use the old Nazi terminology is over the top. You won, get over it, but don’t exaggerate.

Most voted remain or abstained. Can’t you do maths at JLR?

That is irrelevant as we are not claiming that that the will of the people was against Brexit. We are saying it wasn’t for Brexit either. It was actually split virtually down the middle with a lot of abstentions.

And you claim that the vote was the will of the people knowing that most either voted remain or abstained. What right have you got to the claim that Brexit is their will when they didn’t even vote for it? If it was the will of the people it would have been a landslide. It wasn’t, so don’t claim...

Hardly the will of the people.

Which is how much as a percentage? 52:48 is a narrow margin.

No, he always did sound a bit like me because he is a sensible poster.

The point being over 16 million voted remain and others didn’t vote, so it is a Faragism to claim that Brexit is the „will of the people“.

In the vote yes, but implying that they are there in the will of the people is not true. It is not the will of the people. It is the will of 17,4 million people. The majority of who voted, but not the „people“. You are telling the remainers thst it is their will as „the people“. You take away...

No it isn’t. You just say things without foundation. Brexit is not the will of the people. They won an advisory referendum and around 50 % of the actual voters did not vote for Brexit, which is a majority that didn’t vote for Brexit if you include all registered voters. It was a slim majority of...

Yes I should have phrased that better. To come to the conclusion that it is the will of the people when only a minority actually took the trouble to vote for Brexit is pushing it a bit far. The Conservatives would not say that they are governing according to the will of the people, therefore...

No I don’t. They just said if you don’t come up with something soon there might not be a transition period. In other words you will out on your arse. Not quite begging the UK to stay.

I am talking in reply to Astute’s question relating to present day problems.
