Banchory you are merely playing around with "small print" in what is effectively a more robust world.
Our "democracy" and democratic system is predicated on Parliament undertaking the choices of the voting masses.
If you held a General Election and Labour won, but Parliament said :
"well we will take your wishes into consideration but in the final analysis we think we would be better to maintain a Tory government with some Labour input"
there would be uproar and protest and likely violence on an unprecedented scale.
So frankly your "small print" doesn't really hold any merit.
For the government to hold a referendum and ask the people to make the effort to vote, requires that they accept the decision and act on it.
The moment they fail to do that (whether legal or not) they destroy the ILLUSION of democracy and reveal to the millions of citizens that they actually live in a dictatorship.
Now, hey, if that's the route they want to go down, if they truly are no longer bothered about maintaining this false illusion of democracy and choice then by all means, let 'em put out their dictatorship stand and see what reaction they get.
Currently, I have to say, that appears to be what they are doing. They are basically ignoring the referendum and are plotting ways to overturn that result because they don't like it.
They find themselves in a perilous position.
They are having to weigh up, possibly for the first time, which is more important to them:
1) Maintaining the illusion of democracy or
2) Being in the EU and moving towards the Communist Federal States of Europe
Thus far it is looking like they are favouring No 2 there. Or rather it is the EU themselves who are weighing up the benefits of forcing the UK to stay in the EU vs the bursting of the democracy illusion bubble that would result.
I'm under no allusions. Our government are NOT UK people, they are EU people. They are working for the EU, answering to their EU masters and doing what they are told to do.
They do NOT serve this country nor its people. They have every intention of destroying the UK sovereignty and destroying the entire notion of Nationality. They have over the past 40 years undertaken the tasks to sell this country down the river into the EU by stealth and skulduggery.
We are fools if we think for even one second these same people would provide us with a way to Leave the EU.
It just won't happen. Never.
The UK's only course of action is to remove the EU operatives within government and put in their place true politicians who will dutifully represent the needs of the country and the wishes of its people.
That requires a revolution of some kind.
