This isn't democracy.

Honestly, I don't and I don't trust the Tories one bit. I'm hoping for Labour to kick on and take advantage of the current disarray in the Tory camp. However, its a step in the right direction.

I agree with you.
But if that doesn't happen, then you've taken the power from Juncker and given it straight to..Johnson? Gove? The despicable George Osborne? On what planet are they the voices of the working class? I do not trust that their rewriting of the laws are going to protect our workers one bit either.

This is how democracy works.

You cast your vote, wait for the results, and accept it.

You can't protest a democratic vote, doing that makes you a fascist, so get over it.

Quite extraordinary how many people today are throwing around the word fascist without understanding what it means.

Yet there are two opportunities to vote and a House of commons vote (which truly seals off the idea of a referendum being advisory/non-binding)?

Democracy. Yet scotland voted remain. As did ireland im pretty sure. But just because england and wales voted leave, we have to as well? Does that seem fair? Im all for democracy but this wasnt handled right.

I do not trust the EU Commission or the Westminster elite. I want them all removed and replaced with a socialist Labour PM.

So you're saying opposing a democratic vote isn't a sign of fascism?

No, not when the vote should never have happened in the first place. Believing that there are limits to democracy is not the same thing as rejecting democracy (and it's probably also worth adding at this point that rejecting democracy is not the same thing as fascism, you're thinking of authoritarianism). There's nothing fascist about believing that giving a vote to the public about an issue that the majority are not informed about should be invalid.

These people telling us to "accept the democratic decision" are only supporting democracy because it benefits them. It's not democratic to lie and manipulate the public with millions of pounds of advertising made up facts, and they'd be sure to tell us that if they'd lost.

Why should it never have happened lol, because you think that the only opinion that counts is yours?

Looks like you're another one of those "the people were misinformed" people.Listen here, do you realise that the EU referendum vote was actually the record highest amount of voters in history according to the Electoral commission?http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/eu-referendum-turnout-vote-polling-britain-future-live-brexit-remain-leave-a7095146.htmlSo by your logic, if this vote was done by misinformed people then so were all the other votes done on UK soil, so my advice to you is to stop complaining and accept reality. The majority of the votes weren't invalid just because you say so

What are you even saying? None of that made any sense.

The Vote Leave campaign advertised anti-EU lies. It's as simple as that.

So the £9 million the government spent of tax payers money on a bias remain leaflet delivered to all homes wasn't a form of manipulation ?

Your statement screams of a fascist ideology !

Exactly what were the lies then apart from the bus misconception?

And are you really going to ignorantly say that the remain voters didn't also shove lies and eu propaganda down our throats?

The UK's official EU budget is about £350 million a week. That’s about the same as the cost of building a new NHS hospital every week. We get less than half of this money back, and we have no control over how it’s spent – that’s decided by politicians and officials in Brussels, not the people we elect here.

We cannot stop criminals entering Britain from Europe while job creators from non-European countries are blocked.

The EU is in charge of our borders, immigration, asylum, and even our intelligence services.

The Government’s deal doesn’t solve the benefits problem. The only way to take control is to Vote Leave.

You don’t have to be a member of the EU to trade with it. Countries across the world trade with the EU without being members of the EU. Switzerland is not in the EU and exports even more to the EU than we do.

The EU is undemocratic

Turkey is joining the EU.

The EU threatens the NHS

David Cameron said "Europe will go to war if we leave"

Because this is an incredibly complex decision which most of the electorate isn't in the slightest bit informed about. If there was a reasonable belief that the majority of the electorate would put genuine effort into understanding the complexity of the issue and would listen to expert advice then there wouldn't be an issue. But this clearly isn't the case, the majority of the justifications people have used for leaving the EU have either been reasons that have nothing to do with the EU, reasons that won't change by leaving the EU, reasons that are the fault of the UK government and angry people who don't want "to be told what to do by Brussels", despite not having the first clue of what that actually means. Representative Democracy exists because of the understanding that politics is complicated and key policy decisions - and this is policy, not a constitutional issue - should be made by people whose job it is to understand all of the facts and to make decisions based on evidence.

There being a high voter turnout has absolutely nothing to do with people being informed. There is also a massive difference between a general election, where you choose a group of politicians based on your values on a relatively short-term basis, and a decision like this which is highly technical and permanent. It has also repeatedly been shown that the electorate doesn't even understand basic facts about the issue. The Leave campaign also constantly lied and made promises that they knew they couldn't keep, and have already started to admit this. I do not understand why you think a vote on this basis is valid.
