EU referendum, brexit and the aftermath

Sounds reasonable. Shared

If it makes you feel any better, that guy believes in aliens and lists his UFO encounters in his Twitter feed. He also thinks that not supporting brexit is "high treason".

All considered, he's a little light on grey matter.

Genuine question - who makes up the can't vote numbers? Must be more than just under 18s?

From the Electoral Commission;

Additionally, the following cannot vote in a UK general election:

• members of the House of Lords (although they can vote at elections to local authorities, devolved legislatures and the European Parliament)
  
• EU citizens resident in the UK (although they can vote at elections to local authorities, devolved legislatures and the European Parliament)
  
• anyone other than British, Irish and qualifying Commonwealth citizens
  
• convicted persons detained in pursuance of their sentences (though remand prisoners, unconvicted prisoners and civil prisoners can vote if they are on the electoral register)
  
• anyone found guilty within the previous five years of corrupt or illegal practices in connection with an election
  

I think there's about 3 million EU nationals in the UK, so if they could vote the figure would be 15 million and a bit (see Andy's post)

There, in green, THEWILLOFTHEPEOPLE incarnate

I am, quite frankly, losing the will to live over the stupidity and shamelessness of these cunts.

Theresa May should create 1,000 new peers to get Brexit through the House of Lords.

Democracy in action that is.

So this is how we re-instate democracy? With a military coup? Fucking genius.

You have to enforce democracy with the barrel of a gun, else it doesn't work.

Democracy will not be denied, not even in the highest court of the land.

You know, I was a little despondent about the outcome of the court case as I don't think it will make much difference, but the mass hysteria and general bed wetting from the Brexshitters has been priceless and really lift my spirits a bit, long my it continue.

Should have a re-count with EUists allowed a vote.

But not the paedos obv.

the traitors voting to remain definitely ought to be excluded from the vote

obvsly

Looks like Brexiteers now mobilising to protest against parliamentary sovereignty:

Woow Don't read the comments thread >>>

Cracking edition of The New European this week. Including this.
If the country had 100 people (33 of them have tried drugs) 37 of them voted to leave the EU. The people have spoken

1 Attachment

brexit logic shows that it was a combination of the people on drugs (33%) and the muslims (4%) that voted for brexit (37%).

This is worth a read.
