If you find facts boring then sobeit. That's your own responsibility. As I said before I only repeat them when others claim something else. This is not a matter of opinion. It's a matter of fact. it is a fact that we have a representative democracy. The inescapable consequence of that fact is that our representatives are not, and cannot be, delegates. The inescapable consequence of that being that they must rely on their own judgements and not anyone else's. Do you believe that if you spout shyte enough times that people will believe you? Your usage of the word "inescapable" is bollox as neither of your examples are at all inescapable as indicated by the Government's grant of a referendum and promise to abide by the result

There was heaps of compromise being suggested. Most were content to accept a "soft" Brexit in which close alignment was maintained. Many wanted the options to be put back to the people so they could express how they felt with the benefit of 3 year's worth of hindsight. Now it seems we are back into "no deal" territory and the the views of the moderates are being completely ignored again.

It wasn't "granted" by the government at all. They just proposed it. Parliament's involvement was indeed inescapable. You don't have to believe me. You just need to check the facts. Neither could they have accurately have "promised" to abide by the result. That they did so was misleading at best and fake at worse. It always depended on Parliament. Note the word "consultative" in the linked piece. So I regret to tell you that the "bollox" and the "shyte" are all yours.

As the EU unelected officials don't make decisions it follows that everything else you claim is wrong. That what you claim is widely believed propaganda is very unfortunate but that's not my fault. The officials apply the decisions made by the EU Council and the laws passed by the MEPs in the EU Parliament. Of course all leavers are not knuckle dragging members of Britain First! However I think the overwhelming majority of the members of Britain First voted to leave the EU. Well done for completely sweeping and missing the context of the point being made. Still anything to get you up on your soapbox eh. Essentially for all your “waxing lyrical”,- you’re a bigot. Everything you accuse everyone else of, you’re guilty of yourself.

Only by those who don't really understand how British democracy actually functions. Such people aren't a new phenomenon in UK politics. Which is why the point needs to be endlessly repeated to ensure it isn't trampled on by the jack boots of the right. I don't need to understand the ins and outs of democracy to the finest detail, I'm just a pleb like your self. Us plebs listen to the professional politicians like the priminister who tells the country it's a once in a life time dicision. We then take that word as true like a person of law in court, or any other professional offering a contact.

The Commission is unelected and introduces law and policy - not all of which requires EU parliament consent. It also negotiates trade deals independently of the EU Council and Parliament. So it does, in some cases, make decisions without a democratic mandate to do so. It cannot make law. That is a fallacy. It can negotiate trade deals but it does so only because the authority to do so has been delegated to it by the Council, who remain the ultimate authority.

Everything you accuse everyone else of, you’re guilty of yourself. If your context was that many who voted leave did so on the basis of a fundamental misunderstanding about how the EU functions then I did miss it. Having re-read it that's the only conclusion to be reached. I have never been accused of being a bigot before! That's a first. Makes me feel quite at home here.
