It was a fix the electoral commission has already found it so. Leave campaign appeal has been withdrawn. The over-spend of dubious money influenced the vote in favour of leave in the last 24 hours. 'Fromage not Farage' This argument is so so ridiculous. What is 'legal' here is completely arbitrary. The system is rigged for the establishment and favoured the remain campaign. The remain campaign was allowed to overspend the leave campaign by a significant amount. The government used tax payers money to advise people to stay in the EU....effectively campaigning for remain. The establishment tried to 'fix' the referendum with money, the government and media coverage......but just like with Trump in America the vastly underrepresented underdogs won......and just like in America the establishment want to shout 'illegal' because they are bad losers.

It's a struggle debating points that are untrue.

Good point and more the establishment yank the chain the worse it will get for them. Knowledge is power and people have plenty of it now days. Edited by dannyboy1978 (11 Apr 2019 5.16pm) Edited by dannyboy1978 (11 Apr 2019 5.17pm)

It is not an argument just a statement of the facts. Why does anybody want to deliver on, at the pain of death, a bent referendum. That is bound to be the verdict of historians when they look back objectively.

You just ignore the points and carry on in your merry way.

Edited by dannyboy1978 (11 Apr 2019 5.16pm) Edited by dannyboy1978 (11 Apr 2019 5.17pm) I remember someone telling me as a youth that the end result of socialism was communism....I think Marx said something along those lines. I never thought though that I'd be watching a Tory party enacting intersectional and feminist policies.....and Tory remain politicians are way over represented over leave ones in the parliament for how their areas voted. How the so called stewards in the conservative party allowed that.....they are crapping over their own grass roots. Edited by Stirlingsays (11 Apr 2019 6.12pm)

The government are duty bound to finance elements that they feel are in the best interest of the country.

I am a staunch remainer but largely agree with this though when I see terms like establishment I smell conspiracy theory. Like there was ever a unified collective of men in dark suits plotting remain. That said it is fair to say that almost half the electorate voted remain including most of commerce manufacturing finance and the city as well as most of the government. Were they all wrong?

It doesn't matter, it was a people's vote not a buisness vote. Buisness loved cheap Labour, they would pay even less if they could and that's why it's a people's vote, For the people. The very people who's wages are going up because cheap labour is slowing. Edited by dannyboy1978 (11 Apr 2019 9.41pm) Edited by dannyboy1978 (11 Apr 2019 9.43pm)

They were not wrong or right but simply made a judgment to protect their own interests in the short term.

Rather than a conspiracy, which implies everybody making a coordinated response via prior planning I think the establishment are more those whose interests are aligned all tending to behaviour that results in the same protectionist outcomes......results that have little to do with fairness and lots to do with gaming the system. As for those who voted remain.....well it was a bit over 48 percent.....which is nearly half and they deserve a significant voice. However, what we seem to be seeing is that they have more than a voice.....they are actually stopping Brexit.....We have Dan on here telling us Bexit is never going to happen.....He may be right. But that's not democracy and for plenty of people that is going to take the trust in parliament from poor....to god knows what. Edited by Stirlingsays (11 Apr 2019 10.08pm)

I find it neither bigoted nor racist although I disagree with what he said as there are quite a few females and non whites in the Tory Government including the first Asian minister in one of the big three posts. At least Mrs May selects her team on merit and not because they are ex shag buddies Ah, my mistake. 22% female is of course an excellent representation of the public in the UK. And as you say there is an ethnic minority person too. Cracking. The idea, however, that Hunt and Grayling - and indeed May herself- were selected on merit is beyond risible Abbott is everyone’s pet hate. I have no particular view on her but to judge the whole shadow cabinet based on her is clear nonsense And as I am sure you know it was Miliband who invited her to join the shadow cabinet.

Oh, well if it was a towering statesman like Miliband she must be great. If you have no particular view then watch one of her interviews and you’ll soon form one. She’s as sharp as a sack full of wet mice.

You should be fuming tbh. to lay any blame with the EU is barking up the wrong tree and leaving it will only worsen the situation. Tories will simply deregulate, our social wealth squeezed further upwards, and can force another generation of austerity, blaming Brexit since they can argue ultimately it wasn't their policy to leave, the electorate voted it Biggest mistake of our lifetime
