Non-binding?

Ah, so you voted to Leave then? You thought “this is non-binding, so I’ll vote against my opinion or not vote”? What is it about the word “Referendum” that gave you the impression it was an opinion poll?

And then, why did Remainers *oppose* a second clarifying Referendum, while pretending to demand one? We could have had one, and there was wide cross-party support for it. There would have been three, or even four options on the ballot: Remain, Hardest Brexit WTO only, Firm Brexit (what we have), Soft Brexit with Customs Union (yes, I’m aware that includes freedom of movement).

What stopped us from having that, was Gina Millers court case. A Remainer. She insisted that it was unconstitutional (why?) to have more than two options on the ballot. Basically to force people to choose between two very unattractive options. Had we been offered Soft Brexit with Customs Union, the *vast* majority of the population would likely have gone for that, me included and I’m a pretty hard Brexiteer. Polls suggest it would have been upwards of 70%, not 52%. But a simple re-run of the original vote, just because you lost? No, that’s anti-Democratic. And if you won, would you have been ok with best of three?

It’s only the Remainer fairytale they tell themselves that Brexiteers are against immigration, freedom of movement or “Brussels rules on bendy bananas”. Probably because you read the Daily Mail. But it isn’t the reality and never has been. No more than Remainers all read Socialist Worker.

Because that’s another thing: logically you know perfectly well that Brexit isn’t a right wing thing. Because the Tory party is split 50/50, and they are only half the country, and half of a half isn’t 52%. There are just as many Brexiteers on the left as the right. And yet you insist it’s all about Boris.
