Are there are some very sore losers after the EU Ref result?

[brodchengretchen]

Should we now challenge parliamentary elections too if we don't like the result on the basis that some people are too lower class/poor/stupid to make a proper first time vote?

Or could that be a tad arrogant and patronising to the the section of the electorate that cast their vote and won, 'ignorant numpties' or not?

Until someone can actually show me The Plan I will be very uneasy.

Im reading a book set in 1930s Germany. 'they' have populist, racist support. They are thugs, they will never get power...' fuuuuuck.

Yes, I really do hope that the first thing they cut are pensioner benefits.

Personally would like to get a bunch of average Brexiteers into a room and ask them what they thinks going to happen to the economy, migration, jobs etc.. If they are ill informed and give answers that are based on some fictional ignorance, because they forgot to inform the self properly, then we should backfire on there vote out of stupidity.

I've heard a lot of people age 65-70 or so banging on about the war. That they don't fucking remember or weren't born during. My dad is 80. 80. That's old. And yet he was only nine when the war fucking ended. There are fewer and fewer people still alive who fought in WWII still alive because they'd be at least in their mid-80s.

I'm telling you, it's that generations spoiled brats stamping their feet.

I started a thread questioning why we even do referendums, when it was Hitler's choice of tool to get to power (he held four of them, stabilising his hold more each time).

People straightaway mention Godwin's Law and that it's democratic... well, a democratic tool that gave rise to the Third Reich.

babybythesea Now we seem to be in a stage when everyone is an expert.

Agreed though even worse the epic blagging that goes on!

My concern moving forwards is how we are going to negotiate a beneficial deal with the EU when there is so much lack of understanding about our economic dependence on the single market. Either the government are going to have to come up with a very clear and simple way to explain this or I'm worried they will end up with no deal at all for fear of inciting anger amongst leave voters. I truly hope they are not going to screw up out long-term economic future for short-term electoral gains.

Sorry, our long-term economic future.

Either the government are going to have to come up with a very clear and simple way to explain this or I'm worried they will end up with no deal at all for fear of inciting anger amongst leave voters.

Indeed once people full of 'won our country back' bluster realise that both tories and labour would want at least an EEA deal, with free trade and free movement, people will start going mental.

Which I think could cause a big UKIP protest vote "we was lied to", and UKIP are just anarchists who I believe would be happy to walk away from Article 50 talks with little to nothing and just blame it all on EU being uncooperative "see we were right all along they are just jealous and punishing us"
