Let's face it, Brexit is something with consequences stretching for DECADES

One very tiny majority vote is not enough to settle it.

Glenn. 12-04-2019 06:22 PM

Still a majority though isn’t it?

So a majority isn't good enough anymore?

Pray tell at what percentage is democracy allowed nowadays?

A majority based on lies and with no clear cut way out

If you and your friends vote to go to a restaurant without knowing what the food is like, do you still go 3 days later knowing they serve dog **** because a majority vote won?

Of course not.

Well what a sh*t analogy.

You make a new decision everytime you go to eat out at a restaurant and it's your freedom to decide where you want to go each time.

Brexit is not a "Change your mind when the wind changes" decision. :idc:

People voted to leave the European Union. Literally that what was voted for. It’s parliament that ****ed it up

People voted on it based on lies :joker: people regret their votes because of lies that were told by leave, what part of that aren’t you getting through your skull?

Why shouldn’t people be allowed to change their mind after realizing they were lied to?

I'd imagine the bigger the issue the higher the majority.
If there's a second ref I'd hope they set a minimum majority like 55%

The thing is there was too much lies and the slimmer the majority the more "volatile" the result. That's why it should be repeated.

The first ref wasn't legally binding but advisory so we should have another one

You realize you can leave the EU but still remain in the customs union and the single market?

Paper currency first developed in Tang dynasty China during the 7th century, although true paper money did not appear until the 11th century, during the Song dynasty
Quote:

The first bank to initiate the permanent issue of banknotes was the Bank of England. Established in 1694 to raise money for the funding of the war against France, the bank began issuing notes in 1695 with the promise to pay the bearer the value of the note on demand
Quote:

More modern banking can be traced to medieval and early Renaissance Italy, to the rich cities in the centre and north like Florence, Lucca, Siena, Venice and Genoa. The Bardi and Peruzzi families dominated banking in 14th-century Florence, establishing branches in many other parts of Europe
Quote:

Modern banking practices, including fractional reserve banking and the issue of banknotes, emerged in the 17th and 18th centuries. Merchants started to store their gold with the goldsmiths of London
:laugh3:

Marsh. 12-04-2019 07:09 PM

The first banknote came from China. The first bank to use paper money regularly was Bank of England.

Am I using the wrong google?

Did leave campaign lie about making our own laws? Just asking

Yup.

I do wonder what the vote would look like now that all the lies and stuff is uncovered. I figure it would be quite a large margin between, not close.

We do make our own laws?

Anyway, this is a good read..on that note about how we apparently have no freedom and such...
