I have read and enjoyed every single post on this (and the previous) thread.
I respect the position and personal beliefs of each pp, even if I don't agree with 50% of them!
As far as I am concerned, anything that promotes and engages discussion (at long last, we have been sleepwalking politically for generations) among grassroots voters is of benefit to holding our politicians and whatever Government is in power to account. This is what Ref1, Brexit, and a possible Ref2 has done.
Despite the inflated rhetoric, false claims, disinformation, political shenanigans, and 'woe is me' claims, from both sides, at least we all had/have a vote say.
I remain good friends with both 'yes' and 'no' voters since before and post 2014. The hysterical fringe can fuck right off and grow up. Nobody will die, and we live in interesting times.
