The referendum was so flawed but the public voted to remain in the EEC in 1975 by giving 'their whole-hearted consent' It follows therefore, that this 'whole-hearted consent' should be necessary to leave, and 52/48 just does not cut it. That's basically where we still are and probably will be for years to come. A two-thirds majority could not be reasonably argued It's painful to watch so many MPs going through the motions so unable to actually come out that they want to stay, which is I believe reflective of how the public are feeling. Having been lied too and of course, it was nothing like it is today.

In the event there was no hassle over it as I think it was over 2/3rds to remain. Certainly if 'whole hearted consent' was necessary then to remain, so it should be to leave. The alternative seems to be a country split down the middle, for years to come.

I'm not seeing that personally.....not with how the EU has behaved....Hasn't the ICM poll just shown that 'No deal' is now the favourite option. Once independence is achieved it's pretty rare that countries go back. I don't see the nation suddenly becoming europhiles.....especially with the direction the EU is heading in.

That's the problem with binary voting which should never happen in future. We voted in 1975 and were bound by whatever evolving project it became, you can't say you didn't vote for that, same as Brexit which is open to all sorts of interpretations

So Mr Dyson, a very vocal cheerleader and sponsor of Brexit is now moving out of the UK and relocating his business in Singapore, just before the Brexit s*** storm happens. Go figure Do as I say not as I do? Not surprising really as all of the most recognisable Brexit exponents are only looking after their own interests

Go figure Do as I say not as I do? Not surprising really as all of the most recognisable Brexit exponents are only looking after their own interests ‘Rowan said Dyson would “continue to pay tax in the UK”. Weybourne Group, through which Sir James holds his business interests including Dyson plc, paid £185m of tax in 2017, according to accounts filed at Companies House. Dyson, which reported record annual profits of £1.1bn for 2018 on Tuesday, has already shifted the vast majority of its production to Singapore, and has announced plans to build a new electric vehicle plant in the city state. The factory is scheduled for completion in 2020 and is part of a £2.5bn investment in new technology. ‘The company said some of the investment money would be spent in the UK, where it employs 4,500 people and has a research and development campus. Dyson employs a total of 12,000 people worldwide. Relocating the HQ will not lead to job cuts in the UK, the firm insisted.’ Great headline though, Pussay.
