This is a normal post Well this tells me that 3 million people don't bother to look at what they're signing.
At the time of voting it only had 22 signatures probably just his mates.

People seem to really care about it though.

39,000 people from the vatican city (population 800) signed it along with 23,000 from North Korea.

This is a normal post After the last general election,
despite the fact only four years earlier the electorate had rejected proportional representation in a referendum, there were the usual calls from the losers for PR. Given that UKIP got four million votes, more than the SNP total, how many UKIP MPs would PR have delivered I wonder. Doesn't really bear thinking about.

This is a normal post an election and referendum are two very different things
a referendum is actually not binding.


EDIT: CHRIST, it's like people are just prepared to get passionate about facts that they haven't bothered to research... what does that remind me of... oh yes, what got us into this clusterfuck in the process.

googling exists... try doing with your thoughts opinions and facts, and then you can do the bare fucking minimum required to not go around spouting off non-sense.

This is a normal post A referendum might not be binding but
having another one and another one and another one and ... etc until you get the result you desire is in no way democratic. The UK population were told that if the vote leave succedes then Article 50 will be put in motion. If it isn't the EU could try to kick us out using Article 7 stating there was a breach of democratic principles.

This is a normal post Splitting hairs much?
If the rules get changed retrospectively, the vast majority of the people who voted won't care about the technical difference between an election and a referendum. They'll just see that a political elite who they barely trust asked them what they wanted, then gave them the opposite.

What do you think would be the result?
(, Sun 26 Jun 2016, 17:39, , Reply)
This is a normal post It's not changing the rules at all.
If a significant enough portion of the electorate want a do-over then there should be one (putting aside the government's track record on petitions). As for ignoring the result, the government can do this according to the rules but it would be political suicide to try and do so; the EU referendum wasn't binding.

It's also fucking stupid to decide this sort of thing with a simple majority and no quorum, but that's a different story.

This is a normal post How significant?

(, Sun 26 Jun 2016, 17:33, , Reply)
This is a normal post If Britain practiced direct democracy then anything over 50%.
But remember that we're talking about a petition here; the rules are that if only 100,000 people sign (i.e. not a percentage of the electorate) then parliament must debate it, that's all. If parliament decides to hold another referendum in that debate then we'll be back to square one.

My gripe is that leaving the EU or remaining will have such a large impact on the country for such a long time that it would have been better for the referendum to have required a supermajority. Two thirds sounds about right to me.

Then again, what do I know? After all I'm just one of those kooks who think voting should be compulsory.

This is a normal post Can you back up the 40% unemployment bit?
Because that's outrageously high.
According to Welsh government figures the current unemployment rate for Blaenau Gwent is currently 9.3%.
Which is still bloody awful but you don't have to inflate this figure.

"nearly 40% of people are either unemployed or not available for work!"
Did they include children and pensioners in this 40%?

Even if you accept the figure, you wonder why people living on handouts are not happy with the status quo?

This is a normal post no you're absolutely right about the 40%

This is a normal post I expect they hope it'll lead to jobs coming to their area rather than more shiny buildings where the steel works used to be.

This is a normal post I'm going to reply in the way a certain poster here does:
So, first a question which you couldn't possibly answer, but i'll ask so as to belittle you and your stance, even though it's a question i could in no way answer myself (but let's ignore that).

Statistics, statistics, statistics, maybe i'll provide a link to a graph or something (this looks official).

Here i'll mention lots of companies, unions etc. But i'll only refer to them in abbreviations, this makes me look clever and like i obviously know more than you (but really makes me look like a bit of a prick).

Lastly, if you question me i'll become indignant, handily fuck off for a few hours pretending i had better shit to do but really was pissed off that someone disagreed with me, because everyone is wrong, other than me.

If someone replies with something good though i'll probably come back and post ^this^ underneath it or post "I was just about to type that".

And that's why you're wrong, or something.
