Not over yet.

Apparently our own MP's can vote against coming out.

Clutching at straws.

The haystack has been well and truly burnt to the ground and there ain't no way a few straws are going to rebuild it .

Re: Not over yet.

The majority have voted and that`s it. I hope we get through and we will. The lies on both sides will be shown to be rhetoric.

Re: Not over yet.

It highly unlikely, even though it's technically a possibility that parliament would vote it down. Imagine the reaction of the people who voted to leave. So much anger would be created they wouldn't dare.

Having said that the whole purpose of the bid to get rid of Jeremy Corbin is to unite the Labour party so they can try to block the move if it comes to that.

The most annoying feature of all this is that had this vote gone the other way the leave campaign, perhaps with the acception on Niger Farage would have accepted the result.

I agree with you but wouldn't you be a bad loser if you lost such an important referendum, on blatant lies, for some unknown reason the IN voters didn't believe those lies when DC had told them to was.
How can the Tories win a GE with a liar at the helm, everything in their manifesto could be total lies.

You're not suggesting that politicians would lie to us, are you?

Uh... because they're the Tory party and people believe them. It really doesn't matter who you vote for, you still get a government that represents a minority.

I might become a bad loser if I thought that, however I don't. There was as much, if not more of the behavior you describe coming from the Remain camp? I would not describe it as lying in the strictest sense, since nobody could predict acurately what would happen whichever way the vote went. I would describe it as over enthusiastic forecasting. Either way most sensible people disbelievd both sides.

I certainly did and based my decision on the way I feel about being ruled by a bunch of bureaurocrat. I also took the time to do some research, this, coupled with my knowledge of business and the effects coming out would have plus interest in politics helped me to decide.

I think it's time the Remain camp accepted the decision and got on with the business of helping to steady the ship. Instead all the carping and complaining is destroying Britain's chances of sorting out a satisfactory outcome.
