The reult was as close to the will of the people as we could get. It is the fault of the political classes that have rendered people not caring enough to go vote

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. 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.

No. Quite agree. So no „Triumph des Willens“ anywhere. Which is what I have been saying.

Did you read Tony‘s link about Gove‘s tantrum? How on earth can you be sure? I think we will come to our senses and put something on the table, but we are not acting like a professional organisation at cabinet level. Sorry to bore you with details.

EU says there is no hope of securing UK's Brexit withdrawal deal by October

Coming on a bundle isn’t it.

What you know that to be true of 52% of those who voted? You are simply falling for media reporting of selective surveys - themselves designed to mislead.

Now you & Mart & whoever can dispute that all you like, just like you dispute the result, the reasons people voted how they did, the fact that because it isn't your favoured result it is now only an advisory referendum & anything else you want...but we are leaving

Jesus.. this just gets more crazy..no one is disputing the result. It always was an advisory referendum. No it wasn’t the result we wanted and we may be leaving, but it certainly isn’t the will of the people.

As usual.. I did not say that. You are saying that I said it was against the will of the people. Making things up again. What I said is factually correct. It cannot be described as will of the people when the majority of voters did not vote for it. There is no will of the people here, the country is split on this issue. Stop pretending it isn’t.

You just make crap up.

Yes, you are probably leaving, but I‘m not. Half the country are not happy about that so don’t expect the whole country to be celebrating with you if the UK does actually leave at some time.

Enjoy life with the fantastic deals that your Tory hedge fund owners have promised you.

Together with the stalwart Nigel Farage, Arron Banks, Wigmore, Mogg, Lord Ashcroft, BoJo, Gove, Davis, Liam Fox etc..What a revolting thought actually. The EU is the biggest trading bloc in the world and although Trump and Putin are trying to smash it, it is still a good bet to survive. Who knows where the U.K. will end up…

Registered voters as opposed to those who actually voted.

I am surprised that you lot didn’t mention the latest Brexit story. It’s gone from we are going to do a Norway. We could be wealthy like Switzerland. We will be doing Trade deals with Germany straight after the vote. A trade deal with the EU will be easy. We will cut and paste the EU trade deals with other countries. We will have our cake and eat it. Brexit was never about economics. And now from Farage, Mr Brexit himself: “I’m a bit schizophrenic about Brexit. Us leaving is everything I campaigned on and it’s going to happen, but what is happening is we are going into negotiations in a lily-livered, weak way. It will mean we won’t reap the benefits for years to come.”

Years to come? Er... what will happen in the meantime? Let me guess.... the collapse of manufacturing in the U.K.? The end of soft fruit farming as we know it today? A collapse of financial services? Less pubs and restaurants because of lack of staff? Lack of staff in the NHS? Sinking tax revenue as a result of a slowdown of GDP? Still whatever happens Mr Brexit has got his excuses lined up. And „years to come“ is a new phrase in his vocabulary. Independence Day and will of the people now replaced with „in years to come“.

So the EU has a priority of human rights. So Mart, you have told us that human rights will disappear when we leave the EU. We know it isn't true but...

So how about these holding centres? Germany, Austria and France don't want them. Someone will have to volunteer to have them. If they don't happen Italy threaten to veto everything. But what about the human rights?

EU's migrant centres could breach human rights, say campaigners

So how about outsourcing the problem?

EU leaders defend migration deal as doubts emerge

Oh yes the EU is as strong and together as usual like you say?

It sounds like you are hoping everything goes tits up for the UK so you can say you told us so. But as usual it is just all hearsay.

So back to the problems that the EU has that you make out it doesn't have.....

I thought I had. I told you Merkel and the EU were debating the migration problem. It is difficult to resolve. The U.K. blocked Italy‘s requests. The U.K. sits on a large island with, in effect, a moat. Italy and it’s islands are within reach of Africa and Italy has a larger burden because of this. Trying to get countries who are well out of the way to help was always going to be difficult. Let’s see what happens. How‘s the cabinet getting on btw? Plans agreed?

I think you maybe in for a longer wait than Farage has predicted for any benefits, apart from French made blue passports, from Brexit.

Farage: “I’m a bit schizophrenic about Brexit. Us leaving is everything I campaigned on and it’s going to happen, but what is happening is we are going into negotiations in a lily-livered, weak way. It will mean we won’t reap the benefits for years to come.”

I just repeated that it is not easy and that the U.K. has blocked Italy‘s requests which suggest that the U.K. is less likely to care about human rights. I know the EU is split on this and have never denied it. More made up stuff from you.

Not in a democracy it doesn't. The referendum was designed to follow the majority vote (ie - the majority of the peole that cared enough to vote.

Your argument about majority is exactly why the EU has become such a German dominated beast. Look at the latest agreement (?) on immigration.I have read several articles already decrying it as anything from carfeully worded to change nothing in reality (but protect Merkel's coalition) riggt up to pure bullshit in real terms.

No idiot.

It won’t happen if they say go to WTO standards because we cannot agree. A transition period in the sense that the UK wants, is remaining on current terms, but without voting rights. There is no guarantee of that. Going on to WTO standards until deals are arranged is what I think you mean, but that is not what is meant as a transition period.
