Re: Referendum is a load of crap.!!

Accybeme, with the greatest respect it is NOT about what the MP's want....it is about what the electorate told their elected representatives that they MUST deliver.

MP' s seem to forget that they are the servants of the people.
They were put there by the little people....like you and me, putting our X in their box.(and if they do a bad job, then the next time their is an election, you withdraw your X . The is the principle of democracy)
For too long our elected representatives have been hand laws and regulations by those unelected people in Brussels.....so they do not want to have to earn their corn anymore by governing us.

As for your question about where we go from here?
The answer is fairly simple. On 29th of March we leave the EU regardless of what has not been negotiated to us by Brussels.
There will be no trade deal, no customs union, no free movement, no diktats handed down by the ECJ......and maybe the 39 billion will stay in our coffers.

I am sure that the threat of this happening is just as worrying for the EU....where are they going to be getting the money from to fill the hole left by GB's contribution?
And if they want to place tariffs on their goods and service, then we look elsewhere for those goods....grow them or make them ourselves.

The big problem with the referendum was that the political elite badly misjudged the feeling up and down the country.
They were sure that we would vote to stay in.
That just shows how very out of touch these folk are.....especially so, North of the Watford gap.
Had they thought that the outcome would be to leave....they would not have given us a referendum.
We certainly do not need another one.
