Whilst I voted for, and still want Brexit, I do have to agree with some of this. The error was the wording on the literature that went with the referendum. Promising that voting for it would make it so was not something that could be promised. It wasn't the only load of sh*te we were dealt in the lead up either.

From my point of view, I just hope that it sews up any questions about the legality of things with minimal delay (although the telegraph report a potential year delay). Pro or Anti, no one could be hoping for a delay to this because the uncertainty is doing nobody any good. The only reason I can see any Remainers wanting a delay is that a delay could turn into an attempt to brush the whole thing under the carpet.

An argument that the referendum was advisory is nonsense because of our political system of "first by the post".

However, nothing is done "democratically" these days. Wealth means control and so will ultimately determine the outcome. There has never been any doubt in my mind about what would happen.

Inevitably, we appear to be devoid of innovation and ideas as well as the leadership to take advantage of opportunities that Brexit actually presents. Easier for the brain dead and static lard ar$e$ to whine about what happened today than think about tomorrow.

Should never have had the referendum in the first place but focusing the pre-referendum debate on such a narrow set of issues was ridiculous. Not having a plan B was downright inept. Self-interest groups throwing their toys out of the pram was entirely predictable.

As was clear from previous deep recessions, the elite tend to do well whatever the circumstances. As I see it, there is no reason why the elite would not profit handsomely from exiting the EU with the appropriate well-advised asset movements.

If the economy does well, we will all be toasting our cleverness in voting Brexit; or acknowledging how silly we were to vote Remain. On the other hand, if the predicted collapse happens, it will not be the elite who fall by the way side; it will be the likes of you and I Hrolfy me old mate who slip into the mire.

You're sounding f*cking hilarious more like.

Those elitist judges, doing their jobs and applying British law as handed down for centuries - the pricks.

I think you can have a more equitable society - I don't think you have a have a truly equitable society

Totally spot-on. The wrong people are in power for Brexit to work at the moment. They exude incompetence. Cameron fvcked-up in a such a big way politically two years back it almost beggars belief for such a bright man.

Stephen Phillips MP who just resigned "pro leave but not pro leaving the single market".

This could be the crux for many other MPs. It's difficult to argue how leaving the single market which accounts for 40-45% of our trade can be and will be beneficial. If May can't argue the point in the Commons sufficiently then we are going to need some extra fans to cope with all the mess.

He promised a referendum purely to win the GE. He didn't want one. He screwed up. He's now out. He still would have won really even if it meant a coalition again. He miscalculated.
