To be fair Annie, it was just under half.

To be fair, it was just over half that dreamed of leaving and remaining in the the past.

Some living here were not allowed to vote because they were not citizens. Some Brits living abroad were not allowed to vote because they had not lived here recently. A lot of young people were pro-remain but were too young to vote.

Anyway parliament is just as split as the population and more importantly, those in the leave contingent can't agree on what they want anyway.

Annie. The problem l have is that the remainers did not obey the main rule for a democratic dispensation is that the minority accept the result of the vote.This did not happen.What recourse do l have now.Yours in utter despair. Donkeyman.

You had a referendum. The outcome was honoured by invoking article 50. Article 50 requires the EU to offer the leaving member to negotiate a withdrawal agreement. The UK took that offer.
The negotiations started from the red lines the UK drew beforehand. E.g. no border in ireland. The resulting deal fit all the red lines (the backstop is the solution to no border).
During the two year negotiation proces additional information surfaced. Some of it made people afraid. Others too stubborn or old to be able to change their opinion, termed this information as project fear.
Asked to ratify the withdrawal deal the house of commons exploded in a rainbow of colours. It ends next tuesday as mp's ratify the withdrawal deal. Scared as some are that May will request and gain a protracted extension.
I remember that a month ago olly robinson was overheard in a bar, describing just this course of events. Would it be imaginable that last weeks events are exactly thersa may's strategy? Could she really be a smart tactician?
