    This is all of their doing, not the public's fault at all. From the very beginning, to the more recently shocking decisions. But don't worry, the one's who have added to the chaos will be long gone soon, with massive pay offs, and books about 'how they told us so' in the pipeline.
    I'm looking forward to the results of tomorrows vote, should make some rather uncomfortable reading for a few people.

    This isn't true. And this line of thinking and everyone trying to absolve themselves of blame is why we are in this mess.

    If you just kick out the current politicians without fixing anything it will just be a case of history repeating :emoticon-0110-tongu

    Which is why the extremists will get a load of votes. Best to go and vote Green just to show you care for the environment. I would NEVER not vote, it’s exactly that attitude which allowed Hitler to seize power in the 30s :emoticon-0121-angry

    Yeah, plenty of demands. And as the result shows it was close enough to warrant the referendum.

    The way the referendum was done was **** though.

    Plenty of demands, is that your actual answer? Poor effort.

    Pretty stupid question that didn't need any effort considering the result of the referendum.

    As I said earlier if there is a good chance of change then a vote should be held. That's democracy.

    While I understand your point, the implication that people voted Tory because of hard times blaming the previous government are way off the mark. Labour's support was slipping substantially well before the financial crash. Labour lost 58 seats in 2005 and were polling very badly by 2007. By the time the financial crash happened and the recession after they were already not going to win the next GE.

    Me being a far rightie alt-right and obvious climate denier does the same. The "charidee bags" which come through my door almost daily are used as bin liners, and I always have a bag in my pocket to use if I go shopping. If we do a planned shop then we take more. Being honest I have always taken "my own*" bags to the shops because the ones they were giving out were crap.

    *of course they aren't really my own because they came from other shops but I mean the ones that are a better quality than the flimsy ones the supermarket were giving out towards the end of the "free bag" era.

    On your last point I don't leave any bags out for charity. I put my charity things in the charity bins at the fire station. Clothes, Shoes, Toys. Unless it is designer and then I stick it on ebay for someone else to use.

    Mandatory voting seems to work very well. Australia shows it does ;)

    more referendums? I agree we can't keep doing it. We should absolutely stick to the original vote! (you know, the one in 1975 when 67% voted to join the EU)
