Apparently Nicola asked for the results to be treated separately by country as the referendum was being formulated and Dave told her not to be stupid

I am sure he does too.

After all we have heard a lot about no democracy in the EU, yet when it comes down to the issue of a new Nation joining the EU, all the member Nations have to support it.
Malta with a tiny population has the same status as a member, as to that issue, as the big guns, Germany ad France, despite their populations being massively larger it is still one vote for all.
ALL 'have' to agree.


Yet here in the UK we call democracy where 2 UK supposed equal Nations who voted to remain and with the bigger percentage of population voting majorities, have their votes and status dismissed by the 2 who voted to leave with much smaller percentage of population voting majorities.

I know which one I prefer to see.
All the Nations of the UK should have had to agree to this exit from the EU, not just 2 of them.
