I don't think that's necessarily true at all.

Historically, "fighting" and "dying" have had more to do with being conscripted than as any expression of thirsting for the vote.

They fought because they had been told by their authorities to do so.

On both sides.

But as the nature of the opposing regimes was different the mores of the victorious side prevailed.

Yes, for a vote in general elections not ad hoc referendums that are by default advisory only

Would all the people who identify themselves as European instead of British can leave now before the big day next Friday...

There will be a Eurostar waiting to take them through the channel tunnel before it's bricked up next Saturday...

The buffet car will be well stocked with Bratwurst, Sauerkraut, and cheap French Red Wine....

Oh you silly boy, havn't you heard we are not leaving next Friday. Head, Sand, Bucket seems relevant here.

Note the ending of the site "Legal Reality". Which I'm afraid matches brexiters recognition as a whole of reality.

That sounds as though its worth going on, brexit or no brexit

Perhaps in this case you go too much by the EU declaration about extension? Don't both houses of parliament need to change the date in the EU withdrawal act 2018? That requires action of may, and which date will she fill in the bill before parliament?

It's not "instead of", you comic; it's "as well as".

Don't be so paranoid & insecure.
