Of course, that was when, like the rest of The Establishment he thought the result of the EU Referendum would be to Remain
Since then they have done everything they can think of to reverse a clear majority decision

He said:
“There could be unstoppable demand for a re-run of the EU referendum if Remain wins by a narrow margin on 23 June,”
He then went on to say:
“In a 52-48 referendum this would be unfinished business by a long way.”

I understand perfectly well.
Are you ignoring the votes of over 30 million people? Is that what your doing because this referendum like the others had the same legal status?

The Government and indeed Parliament did not ignore the result and they acted upon it. However because it was not made binding Parliament and the government may, in their considered opinion determine that the result is not in her best interest of the country which in a parliamentary democracy they are entitled to do
So they are not ignoring Over 30 million people, they are acting in what they believe is in the best interest of the country. If the country doesn’t agree with that then the ballot box is the way to express that opinion
However if the result of the referendum had been made binding then we most likely would have already left the EU

I put it down to the remain factions need to keep harping
back to the beginning of the end of the world as they know
it, 3yrs ago! Mainly, l think, because of their refusal to accept
the leave result?
