If Remain had won that would have been it, we would stay in the EU. Leavers would have no doubt continued arguing the case to quit the EU, but parliament certainly would not have spent three years trying to accommodate the losing side. Do you seriously think we would have only half-remained because it was a close result?
No, I was answering your question " Do you think if Remain had won that we would have argued for three years to try to accommodate the losing side?" and providing evidence why I think there would have been a fight from the leavers.
So because of something Farage said you are using that as an excuse for trying to overturn the result? Campaign all you like to re-enter the EU, but if democracy is to be served the referendum result has to be enacted.
According to Farage leavers would have fought it. "In a 52-48 referendum this would be unfinished business by a long way. If the Remain campaign win two-thirds to one-third that ends it." https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-eu-referendum-36306681
We have had a three year war of attrition to try to overturn Brexit. W hy don't you just admit that Remoaners had no intention of accepting the referendum result from the moment it was announced? Do you think if Remain had won that we would have argued for three years to try to accommodate the losing side? Like hell we would. Future elections are going to be an eye-opener for the political ...
I knew the Gina Miller would be one you bought up :-D First 2 are about the same thing, the Gina Miller case which was "submitted that the government could not trigger Article 50 and begin the withdrawal process without first giving parliament a free vote on the issue". That was the case not to stop Brexit although she was hoping parliament would but that wasn't what the court case was about. ...
Almost three years ago Nigel Farage said that if the result of the referendum was 52/48 to Remain then the closeness of the result would be ‘unfinished business’ and that pressure for a second referendum would grow. I wonder if he and other likeminded souls still think that way ..... www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/nigel-farage-wants-second-referendum-7985017
Here are a just few I found instantly on Google. Whilst some of these actions are cloaked as procedural challenges, the real reason for the action is abundantly clear; stop Brexit at all costs. https://www.express.co.uk/news/uk/782086/gina-miller-brexit-court-parliament-sovereignty https://www.law.ac.uk/blog/gina-miller-my-battle-against-brexit/ ...
" How many court actions have there been to stop Brexit? There's been so many that I have lost count." How many? I don't remember one. Will the shitstorm being the same as the walk to leave?
Well this is the whole problem, people who can't accept the democratic will of the people. 3 years wasted by democracy deniers. I thought the Soviet Union was gone, but communism is still holding us back.
