1. The UK voted to leave the EU. That's it. Nothing else was on the Referendum paper put in front of the electorate.
2. 37% of the total electorate voted for the UK to leave the EU. Please see this link if you think I have made this up: http://www.electoralcommission.org.u...nt-information
We need to move on and discuss what are the terms that are in the best interests as the country as a whole and not those that pander to the desires & prejudices of both sides. |
