What you don't do is arbitrarily overturn the result of the election you've just lost, which is what the LibDems proposed to do with the referendum result. Overturning democratic votes is extremism, fascism if you like.
I grant that you have half a point there Sinkov.

As I said above, the revoke thing was a mistake and badly explained.

But I would not agree that it was anti democratic.

"Vote for us and we stay in the EU" that's a fair enough thing to say during an election campaign?

What this also said was "If you want to leave the EU then don't vote for us"

Perfectly legitimate stance to have but still a fatal mistake I think.
