Brexit:uncivilized war

[Letsmoveondude]

Just watched this, at the end it explains that laws were broken by the leave party, which would have helped away the vote.

So I'm asking, why is the outcome being upheld? I can't quite understand why no one has demanded a re-vote

1 billion ads.
Aggregates and Cambridge analytica are both linked to Robert Mercer, who was the largest donor to Donald Trumps election campaign.

And in 2018 the electrical commission found the vote leave campaign guilty of breaking electoral law.

I don't understand how this can be known but there's no recourse for the great British public.

*AGGREGATEIQ not aggregates.

Take it to the Brexit board - it's all been done to death on there.

Predictable response on here -

99% yes I know you are right

1% I don't agree

99% - You are a think old gammon fuck off.

rinse and repeat

How about - it's a TV dramatization loosely based on reality, not a documentary?

Ooh, I didn't know there was an actual brexit board, I'll report my post and see if it can be moved. I'm not really wanting to discuss the reasons for brexit, just that if the vote was swayed shouldn't there be some sort of re do?

But Eggy, Cambridge ananytica was in the news Round the time of brexit for this sort of thing.

Because the referendum was only advisory not action it was not investigated seriously.

If the referendum had been legally binding it would have been nullified and re run.

Although, legal action has been taken and more is being considered.

If someone hasn't realised many parts of leave campaign were bullshit and needed a movie with Benedict Cumberbatch to spell it out for them, they shouldn't be allowed to vote tbh.

Loved the movie btw.

Watched it yesterday. Thought I was immune. Cried a lot.

Rory Kinnear was great, btw.

I think many people had realised it was shit- a d from both sides BTW, but if there are people who are willing to stand by a claim, and say that one party acted illegally to get more votes, I'd hope that someone would step in and say, no, you can't get away with this, and everyone will be affected.

And allow everyone to be affected, I meant.

If a political party in a parliamentary election had behaved like this the seats involved would have had by elections.

I watched it. I thought it was well done.

I think it showed that accurate facts didn't have to feature heavily in the campaign advertising for either side.

Remain also appeared rather complacent until very near the end

Yes, it was a dramatisation, but from what I can see it was largely based on truth. I mean, on the campaigns as they were run and the characters who ran them.

We're just moving this one to the Brexit topic at the OP's request

Dominic Cummings writes every thought that passes through his head in excruciating detail on his blog so the scriptwriters had plenty to work with.

Rory Kinnear was great, btw.

Haven’t seen it yet but had to re-read your post Bellini I read initially as Roy Kinnear! how on earth would that even be remotely possible

I agree, OP. I don't understand how the result can be binding when there is so much evidence of illegal activity.

I don't understand how the result can be binding when there is so much evidence of illegal activity.
Because the vote was never binding
it was always advisory
MPs have always had the right to shrug their shoulders and ignore it

The same way Trump can be allowed to remain in power and not impeached even when there's been evidence his campaign was rigged, not to mention all the other stuff that came out after. Much of what goes on in politics is decided way up the line....the little people don't have much power or say even where something like a referendum gives the illusion that they do.

The people who voted based on the Cambridge analytica stuff were not ‘misled’ in terms of how they voted - they were simply encouraged to participate. Their views weren’t manipulated - it’s just that they don’t usually take part - at least that’s how I understand it - same as Trump’s ‘base’. They were always there - they just didn’t usually have something they could identify with and bother to vote for.

Figment
They were told Turkey was on the verge of joining the EU
They were told that the NHS would get an extra £350 million a week
they were lied to

Yes, it is my understanding that they were lied to.
