What gets me about this is such as OG short memories. The eu has shown itself utterly useless in every conflict since its inception.( lets face it the French even helped Argentina out, supplying Exocet pre embargo , but then a team of experts/technicians to launch them AFTER the embargo.) The eu has within it 5 virtually bankrupt states which on one hand they bail out, but on other enforce monetary restraints that cant work. The eu is a failing, toothless organisation with no care or power to really help any member states.
Country realised this and stayers moan on about reruns of referendums, show complete disregard for our democracy to remain affiliated to what?
And why ? Because they can't cope with change and have zero confidence in our country. I do think stayers are looking and sounding rather pathetic .
Had we voted to stay, would have been it. No claims for replays, no shouts of not fair,.
For goodness sake shut up and get on with it.
OG in fact has far longer memories than you as a matter of fact, having been a baby born to a Mother who had been bombed out twice while carrying me.
The EU has proven of immense value in PREVENTING what would have been a repeat of the second world war, and your utter lack of understanding of it's nature shows when you make stupid remarks about it's record in conflicts.
What a contradiction Brexiteers are, on the one hand the EU is too powerful, yet you complain it couldn't stop France supplying Exocets pre Embargo.
let me remind you, this country has engaged in Private wars on a grand scale, hasn't it? and that blows the Brexit argument that it is too powerful and we lose sovereignty totally out of the water.
By the way the Referendum has no legal authority whatever, has it?

"Democracy in Britain doesn't mean majority rule. It's not the tyranny of the majority or the tyranny of the mob ... it's the representatives of the people, not the people themselves, who vote for them."
Mr Robertson said there had been "a lot of stupid statements" suggesting Britain could simply send a note to the EU to trigger "Article 50" of the Lisbon Treaty, which lays out the process under which states can leave. The article itself says a state can only leave in accordance with "its own constitutional requirements".

"Our most fundamental constitutional requirement is that the decision must be taken by parliament. It will require a bill," he said.
"In November, the situation may have totally changed. According to polls, a million vote leavers appear to have changed their mind, that could be five million by the November."
In a letter to The Times, another leading QC, Charles Flint, of Blackstone Chambers, also stressed that British law required MPs to vote before Brexit could happen.
"Under the European Union Act 2011 ... a change to the treaty on European Union, agreed between member states, would have required approval both by referendum and by act of parliament,"
