How would you react if parliament blocked EU exit?

The electorate chose the wrong decision in the last 2 elections as well and the last 2 referendums. Eventually we got to consider if voting should be allowed in the first place, if they keep picking the wrong answer, what's the point? We need a system like they had before parliament came into being

**** them, thanks to a democratic vote we are now in charge of our own destiny on our terms, Not Brussels.

Fisherman don't need to know how their industry fits in with national policy. All they need to know is who's going to do best for fishermen. The notion that the fishermen should be content with some career politician saying 'yes well you will get shafted over but don't worry it's all part of a grand scheme that other people will benefit from, trust me I know what's best for you' is absurd.



No one is saying have a referendum on everything, but one every now and then on major decisions is hardly beyond the realms of reasonable expectation ffs.

We shall see.

politics is about compromises

and, no category of people can actually get everything it wants : and yes, they have to fit in a comprehensive national policy

to claim the contrary is absurd

Of course not, but everyone is entitled to seek it. There's nothing absurd about not simply bowing to what other people say, because they claim they know better. There's a big difference between talking with fishermen, hearing their concerns and seeking a fair compromise, and what you appear to be implying, which is the fishermen should know their place and trust their political betters have their best intentions at heart.

everyone is entitled to discuss, make proposals, protest and march, and dialogue is always a good thing

but, in the end, someone has to make decisions, making compromises and trying to find a global balance between competing interests : and this cannot be the interested categories themselves, but some overarching body. And this is how representative democracy works

The UK's EU membership is a pivotal enough decision that a referendum was warranted.

that's your opinion

in my view, information about the EU in the general public is still totally insufficient in order to make an informed decision, so the subject matter does not lend itself to use the referendum as the appropriate tool for a democratic decision

in my view, this is a case where representative democracy is much more appropriate than direct democracy

And how much of your view there is tied to the fact that we happened to vote for Brexit? Is an opinion only ill-informed if it isn't one you agree with?

Secondly, can't emphasise this enough, the referendum was a manifesto pledge, made by our benevolent and esteemed overlord representatives who happened to form government. This referendum happened precisely out of the process of standard British representative democracy that you cherish so much.

again : what I said is that the level of information about the EU is far too low to ensure a well-informed decision by the general public. As a consequence, it is a bad subject for a referendum

more in general, I think that referendums are only appropriate under special circumstances (I gave some examples)

so what ?

Cameron (and his party) made an error. We are all paying the price.

Is representative democracy infallible ? no, it isn't.

Stop trying to invent loopholes to invalidate what happened simply because you don't like the result.

There are a couple things which may happen if Parliament decide to screw over the people.

1. Gas pipelines occupied and shut down. This will cause London to go into a black out.
2. Ports occupied and no goods or services let though.
3. Hackers will bring down all Government websites and DDOS them constantly.
4. Petrol tankers will be blocked with Petrol stations.
5. Key London roads will be occupied blocking traffic.

And I saved the best till last. There might be mutiny in the British MOD. If that happens there won't be any soldiers to get the power stations back up & running.

It may sound scary but some group might actually be daft to EMP London.

Either way: EMP. Power Plant Occupation, Gas port Occupation or Road blocks you can see this happening:

And where do I come in? I am a doomsday prepper and I specialise in self-sufficiency. Basically whatever happens these rebel groups are going to need supplies to keep them going. That is where me and my allies come in.

The Civil war has already started.

Be very afraid. These arent empty threats.

But anyway Chaos is a ladder.

T
Immigration was obviously a hot topic. Me personally, I have no issue with large scale immigration so long as the government funds services in line with the increased population. However the jist of the Remain campaigns argument over this was Luvvies and students singing Kumbaya and career politicians telling ordinary people that their problems that they are facing first hand were all imaginary.
So as you can see, people who voted Leave did indeed weigh up all the facts and made an informed decision. They just, shock horror, came to a different conclusion to you.
