    Can’t upvote this enough. I was in London before the vote, there was obviously a ton of people against it. This should have required at least a 2/3 majority.

      They should have required the non-binding referendum to actually be non-binding, especially considering how vague the question and answers were and how few people participated.

        It’s a long string of Tory failures that they enacted pretty much only so they could keep their hands on power.

        Cameron > made the referendum part of the 2015 manifesto to stop UKIP splitting the Tory vote.

        May > enacted Article 50 to stop the totally-not-UKIP/disaster capitalists from paralysing the party

        Johnson > made ‘oven ready shit biscuit Brexit’ part of the 2019 manifesto so he could whip his party of YesMen into doing whatever the fuck he liked.

        Makes me so so angry.
