Nobody has answered my point that all of a sudden the politicians who you guys have said have lied to us will all of a sudden become super human Lycra clad hero's who won't lie.. And that you trust that 100%..

So let's say we left it to the politicians for a second.. How would that work? Votes along party lines? What happens if as in this case the parties were split? Party WIPs forcing votes.
Okay a free vote.. In theory the elected representative of that area should vote as his/her constituents feel.. If you follow that logic and look at the voting patterns, what would the result have been.. To be honest I don't know as London would have a larger amount of constituencies.. Someone has probably worked that out.. If an elected representative had voted against the majority of his constiuants, how would that have been received?
Would that whole process have not raised as many questions as you have now? Both sides could bleat that this or that in unfair.
Lastly, I did not hear too many of these arguements pre the referendum...

I suggest you read mine and Anag's posts again, we have clearly identified the proven lies which said and how Farage and Johnson have back tracked from statements they are on record as saying before the vote - we are not saying they lied, they did its proven.

Angry you don't seem to understand how a parliamentary democracy works! I said IF a party like UKIP had a major policy to leave the EU if elected and they got elected into government then they would have a mandate and a majority in parliament to carry that forward - thats how 99% of all decisions are made in this country and have been for thousands of years, thats how the decision to go to war in Iraq was made. Oh and last time I looked UKIP had 1 MP, even under a fairer proportional voting system they would not have had more than 8 or 9.

Lastly Anag and I made these arguments and so did others many times prior to the vote, but people believed that voting leave meant £350 million extra would be spent on the NHS ...nuff said.
