AnnieS, you are what we call nit picking?
It was a CLEAR majority!
Remainers are at fault by not accepting the result, this has
never happened before, and is the cause of all the bitterness
we see now!
The fact is the majority that voted, voted leave because they
were not happy with what was happening in their lives, so,
given the chance for change, they voted for it!! Makes sense
does'nt it? The fact that the minority MIGHT be slightly
inconvenienced is irrelavent?

Regards Donkeyman!

It was marginal. Close enough to 50 50. That's why we have so much strife now. Were it not for no deal more would be accepting. It seems some leave voters wont accept anything but no deal. So it's not a one way street.

1.2 million people more voted leave than voted remain, its a majority - a huge one and that's how democracy works

You either accept the result or you don't - if you don't then your problem is that you're in denial and thats a different matter, nothing to do with the referendum.

No it wasn't - your making things up.

It was 52/48 in favour of leave.

Like i said remain accept the (marginal) result but not no deal. Leave only want no deal. So it's lose lose.

No it wasn't - you can't delete 1.2 million votes in favour of leave because you don't like the result. One vote would be a majority, thats how this works.

It was 52/48 and you lost, get over it ...

I'm not your the one that's doing that

You think 52/48 is the same as 50/50

Re: Katie Hopkins in the Supreme Court

I can settle this. Let's not forget there were two referendums, so Remain lead by 33.5 million to 25.8 million. It's the will of the people!
