“The slim majority voted to leave in a non binding referendum. “

If Remain had won the referendum result wouldn’t have been “non-binding”.

It would have been the sacred will of the people, never to be questioned !

Everyone accepted the legitimacy of the referendum and the determinancy of the result until Leave won.

Remainer sour grapes is the same Calvinball BS we get from Democrats in the USA. They thought they were sure winners against Trump, and when they lost they tried to rewrite the rules.

Remoaners are the same urban elites, and they are trying the same BS.

If the Remain had won the referendum the result would still be non-binding.

Cameron should have clearly defined the parameters of the Referendum and made it a binding referendum. He did not, which is why there is debate over what this means or does not mean.

He should have also specified exactly WHAT leave meant - whether no-deal or customs union or something in between. He did not, leading to the mess we are in now.

And your statement “Everyone accepted the legitimacy of the referendum and the determinancy of the result “ - is false — people were asking at the beginning what Cameron was up to creating such an ambiguous referendum question

The problem is that you guys are seeing this as a mirror image of the situation in the US when it is not.

This is not about Democrats vs Republicans, this is about people who want to leave their perception of the EU versus people who want to actual leave the EU versus people who don’t want to leave the EU.

“Urban elite” - you mean the whole of Scotland who voted stay are “urban elite” in your opinion??
