I don't think it's undemocratic if people wish we were remaining in the eu even though we're leaving. In the same way it wasn't undemocratic for people wanting to leave the eu whilst we were a part of it. I think accepting the decision and supporting it are different things, because otherwise it's saying that people have to suddenly change how they think and change their opinions on something just because of how a different group of people have voted, I don't think that's democracy?

Brexiters who accuse those who are warning of the difficulties of leaving the EU as “talking Britain down” are making a “pathetic argument”, experts have warned.
A study looking at the legal, constitutional and bureaucratic challenges that are involved in triggering article 50 has highlighted the difficulties Britain is likely to face during the negotiation period. Professor Anand Menon of King’s College London, who is a director at The UK in a Changing Europe, the authors of the study, said the report will help to identify potential stumbling blocks that are routinely ignored by Brexiters. “An irritating aspect of the current debate is the tendency of Brexiters to accuse those who warn of difficulties of talking Britain down. “It’s a good line but a pathetic argument. Since when was rational debate a bad thing? Forewarned, surely, is forearmed, and this report will help identify potential stumbling blocks ahead,” Professor Menon said. Parliament is likely to have a large of volume of work to identify and transport all relevant EU law after it is repealed and the negotiations are likely to require extensive coordination between new and existing ministries. Professor Menon also added that Brexit could test Britain’s capacity to its limits and said a lot of uncertainty remains. “Article 50 negotiations will be tricky and hideously technical but that is the easy bit. When it comes to the crafting of a future relationship, almost everything is up in the air. http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk...-a7393126.html

Ooops!
EU officials have discussed new laws to undermine the UK’s multi-billion pound clearing business after Brexit, London Stock Exchange chief executive, Xavier Rolet told a House of Lords Committee. Financial transactions can currently be cleared anywhere in the world and London has a dominant position in the market, processing £440 billion of trades every day and supporting 100,000 jobs. But the EU is now considering limiting the amount of euro transactions that can be processed outside the EU, so that it can force the industry to move within its borders after Brexit, according to Rolet. Millions of euro-denominated transactions are currently cleared in New York, but a cap on US trades is now being considered, so that similar restrictions can be placed on London when it is outside the EU, a move that could fatally undermine the industry. “I understand that some discussions have already originated in the EU for limiting the ability of US- based clearinghouses to clear euro-denominated securities by capping or somehow restricting their ability to engage meaningfully in their business,“ Rolet said. The loss of euro clearing would cost 100,000 UK jobs, fragment markets and force banks to tie up an extra £70 billion in “margin” or cash to back up trades. That money that could otherwise aid economic growth, Rolet said. http://www.independent.co.uk/news/bu...-a7394341.html

I think you'll find the leader said he was 7/10 for brexit, he was referring to a tory brexit which is proving to be a cluster**** waiting to happen.

well well well
Arron Banks, Ukip's biggest donor and one of the first Britons to meet Donald Trump after his election victory, has denied claims he offered a “bribe” to a major UK political party in exchange for support for his Leave.EU Brexit campaign. The allegation was made by senior figures in the Northern Irish Democratic Unionist Party, who said Mr Banks offered them a financial sum, thought to amount to six figures, if they chose to back the Ukip dominated Leave.EU campaign, instead of its rival Vote Leave. http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk...-a7455416.html
