Hmm...reviving something I answered about 20 pages ago.

Gusset is spoiling for fight everyone.

You answered a different question.
Now Matthew, think carefully and pay attention to the question.
You alluded to the fact that none of 'my sort' voted for Brexit even though you had previously said No2eu was a left wing party from which TUSC was borne. Do you think any of my sort voted for Brexit? Yes or No?

Jeez. You really don't get it do you. Normally i know you are just being mischievous but on this you really are having a mathematical brain freeze, aren't you? The pressure on housing is only going in one direction and that is up. 4-5 million extra people by 2027 who have nothing to do with the EU will be around the UK (just England and Wales and NI possibly). Unless you want to EUthanase the over 80's. Leave claiming that 'exit' would alleviate the pressure on housing was, basically, wrong and disingenuous. It will only increase as you well know.

The housing crisis is a separate issue from the EU. To marry the two is avoiding the critical issue of how to solve it.

Give it up Michael.

You are being deliberately obtuse. There are amny reasons why there is a shortage of housing in areas of the country - ageing population, immigration, planning regulations, empty properties - and it makes sense that if you limit EU immigration then you are going to reduce a demand from that source. What don't you understand?

I think you have emotionally put so much into this vote, you are suffering from nervous exhaustion. We have already had Gusset meltdown this week, for your own health, would suggest you take a breather.

I answered your question. The meltdown continues...

If you are spoiling for a fight, be a man and go push the biggest bloke you can find on your local and then call him a c***. That will get the response you want.

And this is the main problem. The blinkered and hubris-ridden won this week. Congratulations.

My reasons for voting no have been well documented and even Comrade Gusset agreed with them.

Cut out in the insults and stick to the facts.

Really?

Anyway to quote you yesterday.. People voted against the socialist social engineering project that is the EU.
Face it, you and your sort lost

Firstly, some of my sort didn't lose because they voted Brexit. So the question did any of my sort vote for Brexit yes or no?
Secondly the EU is a neoliberal project, quite the opposite of socialism.

Had the margin between leave and remain votes been wider I think people would have taken it with better grace.

It's a shame that some leavers and remainers could have been more magnanimous.

As it is I think we need to wait a few more days before people calm down a bit.

This is what bothers me. From a total of 46.5 million eligible to vote, this result has been carried by just 1.4 million, i.e. 3%. No wonder there is a lot of unhappiness in the country.
In my view, the requirement should have been 60% of votes to achieve a win, then no one could complain. As it is, there is a huge split right down the middle of the country, and we are left in a total mess.

You're only saying that because your opinion did not prevail. It's a churlish attitude to democracy, Kermie me boy, and bears all the hallmarks of the sourest of grapes.

So with In being at about 48% and Out being at about 52% would one of them have to form a coalition with Shake It All About in order to take the country forward?

I wonder if you'd have called 'foul' or been so anxious for a rerun had Remain won by a similar margin.

Leave it Gusset. You are arguing for the sake of arguing.

Go and have a pint or something. I am not rising to your provocation because I have answered this and you, like the country, need to move on.

I bet the answer to this would be if Leave couldn't raise 60% then we'd default to a Remain status....3...2....1...

Didn't Farage say that if the vote was close the fight would go on? Mind you the leave side also said about the 350 million as well.

3% is too small a margin for such a big change, especially as BREXITers are already backing away from major elements of their campaign which look like they won by coning people with the support of the big selling papers which owned by people who don't even live here.

I can see why poor areas shafted by neoliberalism and
austerity voted out. But the leaders are neoliberals who pushed austerity. It was a big fat con.

Another unhappy soul who never put forward this proposal prior to the vote, for some reason?

What bothers me is that we never had a vote to join this 'project' in the first place.

If you have a referendum where a pre-set margin validates the result, you end up with three possible outcomes instead of two: Remain (because it's won outright), Remain (because Leave didn't win by a big enough margin) or Leave (Leave wins outright).

It's precisely because opinion was so divided that there was a referendum in the first place. To require a specific margin weighs the balance unfairly in favour of Remain. In other words, a fix.
