No answer for the Government expenditure, the overspending by Remain, the enlisting of big business with vested interests and the fact that they on a commission who are supposed to be neutral they are not then?
Yes, indeed. It's not the only organisation that is supposed to be neutral either.

Storm in a teacup!

The Government wasted £9million of taxpayers money sending a pro EU leaflet to every household in the lead up to the referendum.

That bothers me far more!

As the referendum itself is estimated to have wasted £142m of taxpayer's money, £9m is a drop in the ocean....

Of course!

We should never have had a referendum. We should remain in the EU permanently, shouldn't we?

You think it's £142m well spent?

If it results in our regaining our independence, yes.

Of course, I realise that you'd rather it never happened, but it has and the majority vote was to leave.

We shall either leave, or the country will have lost the benefits of democracy in two discrete ways:

- if our existing votes are ignored, as May is attempting to do, there would be no point in voting;

- if we end up remaining in the EU, we shall eventually be completely ruled from Brussels, having voting rights on only 1/28th of the people who rule our country.

(Now, please note that if you are able to ask a civil question, you may receive a civil response. Try it more often.)
