Hi Jon,
Tim.
Well Jon, I expect you're used to it by now!What a load of old codswallop, Tim .
I'm not saying you do (see my last post to Split').. . . Just because your side won the vote (fairly marginally) it doesn't mean that I have to change my view that remain was the best option.
This makes no sense to me at all. You can't claim to believe in democracy on the one hand and then vote for something fundamentally undemocratic on the other. Talk about having one's cake and eating it, lol!. . . Also, because I believe in democracy I, in common with the vast majority of remainers, go along with the result even though I continue to believe it's a mistake.
I looked into it extensively prior to the vote. I started out with a natural bias in favour to remain. As the debate wore on, and the more I looked into it, the sad reality of the situation hit home. I wasn't suckered into voting to leave: I researched the facts and drew my own conclusions. IMO, it's the remainers who are the ones who've been suckered into the belief that the EU is a wonderful democratic place where everyone is equal and can have their say. If that truly was the case, then I too would have voted to remain and I expect they would have won a landslide victory.. . . So far as democracy is concerned I suggest you take a further look at the constitution and working of the EU. Sounds as though you've been suckered into the falsity of EU power being in the hands of "unelected bureaucrats".
Tim.
