Brexit Rhetoric Must Change

I echo OP's sentiments.

The remain voters need to just respect democracy and stop calling for a rerun or claiming the government should vote against it in Parliament, but the leave voters must also kick the racist wing of their movement to the curb.

I'm hoping when it settles down this will be exactly what happens. I'm afraid it will lead to further polarisation and far right attacks.

And remain camp should stop saying very person who voted leave is a racist and/or xenophobic

If we get a Norway-style deal very little will change and any far-right elements will be diffused, right now the liberal left is fueling the far-right which will only lead to further escalation.

Agreed, I'm disgusted by some of the racist abuse that is being thrown around on the streets at the moment. I will certainly be calling it out wherever I witness it.

Political discourse is one thing but harassing and abusing people in the street is not acceptable.

Remain supporters have to do a few things.

1 - Be an adult and accept the result of a democratic process

2 - Stop claiming racism where it doesn't exist

Leave supporters must do a few things

1 - Call out racism within their ranks where it does exist

2 - Stop indulging in conspiracy theories

And we all must accept that people are allowed to disagree. I voted remain, I am depressed about it, demonising the elderly and patronising the poor does not help.

It's worth noting that I reckon the vast, vast majority of leave and remain voters are completely reasonable people. This is just the usual idiots doing this stuff.

I completely agree, but when the conversation is so polarised it leads to unreasonable behaviour.

We seem to, in general, give the idiots the mic and lower the debate to their terms.

Without a doubt, but then unfortunately it's generally the idiots that are most keen to grab the mic and start spouting their spiel. Tbh though a lot of these people are either sexually frustrated young people deperate for a cause to fight for but with little interest in thinking for themselves, or losers with crap lives who feel the best person to blame for it is the Polish bloke running the corner shop down the road. They've always been around, it's just that now they've got a reason to act like morons, and the best thing we can do is keep calling them out for it.

The racist voting block was a necessary evil to get us out of the EUSSR, after the dust has settled they can be locked back in the basement.

At the risk of saying the most obvious thing, putting racists back in the box is not an easy task. Politicians should never use such tactics. Playing politics with evil will invariably back fire.

Indeed and I am sure the bile on the Internet is adding to it. We all have to be a little responsible about what we post.

The UKIP leader claimed if the In camp won it would be because of the two million extra voters who were allowed to register after the official deadline was extended because of a government website glitch.

Mr Farage said: "Win or lose this battle, we will win this war, we will get this country back, we will get our independence back and we will get our borders back.

"The Eurosceptic genie is out of the bottle and will not now be put back."

He added: "The landscape of British politics has changed and changed forever."
