    Isn't campaigning for a second referendum exercising their democratic right or have I missed something here?

    So if they have a second referendum should there be a third referendum? When do you stop having referendums on the same subject?

    Well apologies I may have misquoted you - you said 'has a great understanding of the people' rather than he 'is a man of the people'

    It's Catch 22 for Corbyn, in my view. He won't discard his principles, but those principles will never see him or his party elected

    Nice one, good answer. You could put that to anything undemocratic and make it democratic.

    By not accepting the result, it is still undemocratic. No matter what spin you try to put on it.

    I'm just pointing out that that is a persons democratic right - if they don't like something they can campaign to change the decision. That is what democracy is and what we have fought for.

    ???? That makes no sense - how is it undemocratic? You are going to have to walk me through this warped logic I'm afraid. As I fail to how someone exercising their democratic rights is 'undemocratic' just because you don't like it.

    Apology accepted. You are getting closer: I said "has a great understand of people" and not "has a great understanding of the people" - obviously you realised the "understand" was a typo for "understanding"!

    Maybe the voting system could be changed to more akin to what Arsenal do: include season ticket holders in the attendance whether they attend or not!?

    But is it democratic to not accept a democratic vote?

    Plus it's an outlet for your politics of hate.

    Of course as that is your democratic right - otherwise we'd all have been forced to become Tories at the last election just because 25% of the electorate voted for them. It is our democratic right to fight for what we believe in and to campaign for what we believe in. That is the basis of democracy - no one can tell you what you can and can't do as long as it doesn't impinge on others democratic rights (ie hate crimes)

    Do you mean that the Remains have developed Stockholm Syndrome and have been loving Farage and the Leavers because they've forced us into isolation against our wishes? Weird comment...
