Erm
It's been proven the Russian were dicking about on Twitter and Facebook like nobody's business. Given that fact, how can the outcome of the referendum be considered valid?

I must send him a thank you note for helping me realise my political aims!
Don't know how much has been proven in this case but I expect the famous Troll Factory is real.
Countries have fucked around in other nations elections since there's been elections.
Obama also tried to influence the outcome by saying "we'll be back of the queue."
The eu also tried by funding pro eu think tanks to scare voters into voting remain.
If you annuled every vote that some outside nation tried to steer it than you'll never have one.
Given that the younger voted remain and the older voted leave.
How much influence a meme on the twatter would have on voting choices?
You could also argue that what Putin would like is the divided nation we have now with people putting down democracy. He'll love that he would.

No shit Sherlock, you've fallen straight into the very obvious "divide and conquer" hole and as with the other brexitholes you keep digging as stubbornly keeping face is more important to you than doing what's best for the country.

Talk to be about being stubborn and digging in.
You who are refusing to accept the result of a referendum and numerous votes in parliament and the manifestos of the 2 parties that got 82.4% at the last election. Neither of them supporting going back on brexit.

I completely accept that there was an opinion poll and that the two main parties have been falling over themselves to try and gain what they perceive as popular ground as a result, regardless of the non-existent details attached to said opinion poll. There's fuck all in our constitution that says we have to do something stupid because there was an opinion poll.
That both sides have shown themselves as incapable of putting country before perceived votes is the reason I will never vote for either of them again.
