This is what will happen

We get it from both sides of the Brexit fence although the Remainers seem to be more prolific in telling us what will happen. Will either side have the guts to say the truth ? Nobody knows what will happen, it is all conjecture, rumour and alarmist lies. As for the "People's Vote"..................We've already had the People's Vote, it was called the Referendum. Then the argument of "We didn't know what we were voting for" Yes we did, we voted to either stay or leave the EU, exactly when why or how was not in the equation. Let's be fair when we vote in a General Election, there really isn't any idea of what we are voting for because what is promised is never delivered. Campaigning for a new vote to overturn a Democratic Decision at any other time or in any other country would be considered Facism.

So far referendums haven't brought much joy to the UK it seems.

Referendums are a crap way to run a country.

And so is a dictatorship.

What is needed is a Constitution which sets out clearly the core tenets and principles for your country, and which ensures/mandates that no foreign power can ever take over the country. Anyone who operates the Constitution gets prosecuted and punished with the full force of the law.

Turns out we had the Constitution, but the corrupt dictatorship we have didn't stop the corrupt politicians who ignored it and sold the country to a foreign power anyway.

Get rid of career politicians and replace them with people that have experience of having a real job.

Isn't the UK the only sovereign state within the EU that doesn't have it's full constitution on paper?

No. A sovereign state has it's principlal law defined in a constitution. As the EU is not a state, but a simple organisation, it cannot have a constitution.

It of course has a Constitution and has had it for 100s of years. It is not unfortunately summarised or encoded into one single document but is in many parts. The Magna Carta, Declaration Of Rights, Bill Of Rights, Common Law and so on.

Corrupt politicians have ignored it. They should be made accountable.
