Hardly a small majority Harbal. An 81 seat majority on a "Get Brexit Done" mandate in the general election and nearly every constituency outside London voting to leave in the referendum is hardly a small majority.

Elsewhere perhaps but please be so kind as to point out any bullying in this thread, because I see much discussion followed by the beginnings of personal insult (which appears to be as a consequence of lack of ability to debate) but no hint of bullying.
Refuting the opinions of others when supported by fact certainly could not reasonably be described as bullying.
Trying to assert an opinion in the face of conflicting evidence and then making it personal and unpleasant though ........

But if you really cannot debate the topic of this thread without such insults we have nothing to discuss.

And here was I, hopeful that there was an end to this nonsense after an obviously-broken promise.

It's a huge amount- we'll over a million people.
As for the election, it sounds like you didn't get the memo or was out of town.
You lost ... get over it, 4 and a half years of denial should be enough for anyone.
