Winning a vote does not give pro Brexit voters like you the right to tell people who voted remain to stfu. That is not democracy that is idiocy, the exact sea change being ushered in by Trump and May in which "alternative facts" are provided by those in power and dissenting voices are presented as "Fake News.The point of this thread is to discuss the ramifications of Brexit not ask for a new vote. So far we have had"Brexit means Brexit" such vacuous disingenuous claptrap and no real realisation that the Tories will use this as an excuse to take more control from the people not give it back.
OK so let me get this straight....the Tories wanted Brexit so they could wrest control of Britain from the EU and the PEOPLE of Britain wanted that exact thing but the main issue is that the power will be transferred from the EU to Britain where each citizen is allowed to vote for their representatives who then in turn vote for the Prime Minister and all that will mean that the people (who supported Brexit) will be further separated from power than had Britain remained in the EU and power was in Brussels? Is that about it?
