Well in a parliamentary democracy you vote Politicians to run the country, so if a party ran an election campaign on a leave the EU ticket and got elected then yes I'd accept that.

what I can't accept is the likelyhood that the 4% and majority was achieved by lies and falsehoods, people I know say they voted leave as they thought £350 million would go to the NHS, aint going to happen and anyway the £350 million is false and proven to be so and admitted now by the Leave side.

Others thought that immigration would stop, no say those on the Leave side who just days ago were saying that a vote for leave would cut immigration!
Okay I will answer the question. You don't know what the deal will be going forward.. Are you telling us lies?
I accept people would have been misguided in their perception of staying and visa versa leaving.
The close vote is the biggest problem, now that is a problem going forward.

My biggest reason for wanting to leave was that I don't like what Europe is becoming.. What will it be like in 30 years? What legacy would we be leaving our children? The answer is nobody is sure either way..
If you write down positives and negatives on either side both lists would be quite long.. For me the list to leave was slightly bigger than the remain one. It was a hugely complex question and as I said before, I know where Anag is coming from.. But you've already told us our politicians have lied to us and now you say you want them to be able to make massive decisions without a mandate from the people?
