Point proved once again I believe. If you ask the masses a question they aren't in anyway qualified or educated enough to contemplate, you end up with them voting for the loudest, flashiest, most entertaining option, in lieu of a sensible outcome.

They've been trained by years of low brow phone-ins, opinion polls and voting for x-factor clones.

We've got what we deserve yet again.

This is a normal post what i don't understand is this "everyone should vote" bollocks
sure, if they are prepared to be informed, analyse the argument and vote with reason and research then yes, everyone should have the right to do that...

but if you are so disinterested in politics you want a bullet point summary of every issue, then no... you shouldn't fucking vote...

Just like I don't know anything about football, so I don't fucking talk about it, or try to do it... sure I have a right to... but we don't need to exercise every single one of our rights as a matter of course.

being politically literate takes time and it's really boring, if you ain't willing to put the hours in, fine... but then don't get involved and leave it to those who do want to take it seriously.

Christ it's like someone who doesn't cook standing behind a chef and telling them what ingredients should be going in... you have a right to that opinion but you've done fuck all to earn having that opinion heard...

Genuine question here.
What method do you use in order to determine who is eligible to vote?

Age?
Education?
Gender?
Public service?
Parentage?

Very interested in how people here think the vote should be restricted.

This is a normal post I think a two stage vote would have been more sensible.
In a vote like this some are always going to use it to kick the government and the polls seem to always get it wrong, so, a dry run maybe to set a benchmark? Regardless the line should have been higher, maybe 60% before any change. I also thought they should have had a "don't Know" on the ballot. For a GE I think it should be compulsory to vote which I think they do in OZ?

This is a normal post no you misunderstand,
i'm not talking about a policy or a license to vote, i'm talking a cultural thing... we need to stop telling people "they must vote at all costs" and instead say "you don't have to vote if you don't want to take an interest, that's fine"

EDIT: to clarify i don't think the vote should be restricted, but instead we need to stop telling people they have to vote, it should be a right you choose to excersise because you have a passion or an interest, not because you have been culturally and socially bullied into it,

mainstream politics does this to "soak up" those votes and continually distort democracy, every election I hear "people died for your right to vote" and it drives me mad, people died for our right to be able to vote you know as a choice ... but there's an expectation of intellectual responsibility that goes with that....

This is a normal post Actually, how about restricting referendums to MP's themselves?
The MP is given the vote for their entire constituency. On the run up to the referendum the constituency are able to make their cases to their MP, who in turn makes the final decision as their elected representative.
Your local MP might be a fucking idiot, but tough shit. The majority of your constituency voted them in.
Local MP's (hopefully) will have a much better grasp of the matter in hand than your average Daily Mail reading, Jeremy Kyle consuming fuckwit and so the chances of the 'right' decision being put through are higher than letting the entire population of the local council estate loose on the ballot stations when their primary source of current affairs is the Britain First facebook page because "The news is well boring, innit?"

This is a normal post Why be negative, why not adopt more positive encouragement?
Why don't we reward politicians based on outcome?

If they keep to referendum promises and deliver them - bonus
If they keep the economy balanced - bonus
If they reduce poverty and increase permanent employment - bonus

You get the picture. Motivate to do positive change, to keep thing improving, not just ticking over or getting worse.

We also need to disassociate government from lobbying, treat it as corruption.

This is a normal post It's all very ironic that there seems to be this attitude all over the Internet at the moment
by those who have deemed themselves far more competent and superior to the knuckle dragging racists who voted out.

Fact is the In campaign was a shambles of threats and scare stories. Nothing positive about Europe or a positive future in it. Having Cameron and Osborne as the two prominent faces of the In campaign was a disaster as well as so many just wanted to give them a bloody nose. There should have been a neutral but respected face to lead the remain campaign and I don't mean David Beckham.

They just didn't bother to vote. Although 75% of people under 30 voted remain, too many just couldn't be arsed to vote, even with the extra two days to register.

So if you want to blame someone, don't bother pointing the finger at leavers, have a word with your mates who wanted to remain but didn't bother voting. They lost it, leave didn't win it.

Now of course they are demanding a new referendum. Doesn't work that way, sunshine, you had a chance and you blew it.

With thanks from those of us who did bother.

I say "nah mate, knock a fiver off that because you keep moaning about the cost"

Then I spend £4.50 on a prezzie I think you'll like.

The remaining £8.50 I spend on club maintance and some of the poorer members.

Some will say the club costs £8.50 and some will say £13 because they would rather had vouchers and bought their own prezzie.

Now times those numbers by a billion.

I despair of this country when so many people look down their noses at others for not having the same opinion, casting them as racists, bigots and ignorant.

How about trying to bring people on side with a positive message and inclusive reasons? How about listening to them without lecturing and haranguing them?

It does matter what Leave did, they played up to inherent fear and prejudices and told people what they wanted to hear. A constructive, positive message by Remain would only appeal to the people who were already set on remaining, it wasn't about constructive argument or anything else, it was about who could shout the loudest and shout what people wanted to hear.

Remain should have taken a different approach but rationality isn't what people wanted to hear, they couldn't be arsed with economics or anything else, they wanted everything to be simplified and translated as 'all these problems were because of Europe and Johnny Foreigner coming over here etc.'

"rationality isn't what people wanted to hear, they couldn't be arsed with economics or anything else, they wanted everything to be simplified and translated as 'all these problems were because of Europe and Johnny Foreigner coming over here etc.'"

Nice broad brush stroke there, how many voters did you interview before you formed this denigrating opinion?

The majority of voters really, really craved information and advice on which way to vote. Instead they were fed horseshit from both sides and had to guess what to do.

It's a complete failure of politics to inform and advise. It's symptomatic of the disconnect between politicans and who they represent. Blaming the voters by categorising them as simpletons and bigots is why they stuck two fingers up at the elites, both in the UK and Brussels.

To pretend that people don't have the attitude that it's other's to blame for their own situations is being a bit naive, they were fed horse shit as that's what it was deemed they wanted to be fed, and it worked.

This is a normal post I agree, there should not have been a referendum
It was far too complex to predict what would happen next, for every downside there is an upside. Pound goes down, our exports are more competitive, but French wine and BMWs cost more. We don't pay into the EU, but instead have to pay for more bureaucrats in Whitehall to replace the ones in Brussels.

Either way it was a voyage into the unknown, so asking the question was pointless and painful. It's set half the population against the other just to avoid losing votes to UKIP.

We have representative democracy so that our MPs decide on things like this. Cameron was a fool for calling it and now he has paid the price.

Of course MPs can ignore the referendum, and that is a potential outcome. No-one on the leave side seems keen to pull the trigger yet, so it may be that more concessions come our way, then we stay in. We shall see, it's not over yet.

Also, the terms can't be worse than WTO rules, which were not far off EU tariffs.

My guess is not much will change.

This is a normal post Totally sick of people banging on about democracy...
with a Tory party only 25% of the population voted for. There are shades of democracy and us...with a Queen...a House of Lords don't have what many people think we have, we don't have a referendum on every law. There is an expectation that we elect people to make certain decisions for us...you know because they are meant to know what to do and read up on all the dull facts.

This is a normal post so would you say the same if remain had won?
Democracy in the UK is shit, so the result is invalid?

Or would you say "in your face Farage, loser! Democracy prevails!"

This is a normal post Yes, all of them things apart from the invalid bit.
I just mean it is all democracy, democracy, democracy but once you drill down it is all about boarder controls, foreigners, harking back to a past that never really existed and some mong wanting to get their blue passport back.

This is a normal post nobody who voted remain even wanted this vote in the first place
and would have been quite happy if it never happened even if they won it

In fact I think most of the remainers would have been shitting themselves even if they had won, seeing how close they came to the idiots taking over.

"congratulations you won with 52% of the vote. Now enjoy your life in a country where nearly half the population hates your guts."

This is a normal post A two thirds majority I would grudgingly accept
But just squeaking in over the line like this… too many people are too thick to understand the consequences of their actions.

This is a normal post yep
welcome to US style trump politics… get the thickos out who normally don’t vote, and get them riled up with an argument based in nationalism and emotion… the death of information… all of our elections will now be fought on “who can shout the loudest” and the “honey pot” for politicians is going to be “the thick, the disenfranchised and intellectually lazy”
