I realise that the result needs to be ratified by parliament, and those over paid, over stuffed shirts in the 'Lords' say they might resist it. Blooming cheeck. Not even elected and sticking their noses in. However there are two important points to remember.
Firstly, if, as Cameron keeps saying, the leave vote would throw our country into wreck and ruin, why as our leader did he make it posssible for this to happen? Not very clever at all. But he must stick with it now.
Secondly, I doubt whether even this lot of feckless degenerates who make up the majority of parliament would deny a fair result. I know that a 51 to 49 split on a 40% turnout is hardly a convincing mandate. But a referendum is a clear way of asking for a mandate from the voters who turn out. If the people who don't vote, don't give a stuff, then their vote is useless anyway. I am sick of people spouting off about politics, yet when questioned it turns out most of them don't vote!! The usual answer is 'That lot aren't worth voting for'. Well, no vote: no grounds for complaint is my view. I would make it compulsory to vote. No ifs and no buts. The biggest influence on Brotish politics is the apathy non vote.
Cheers Concrete
