You might like to read a book on market forces. If there were a market for more Left leaning publications there would be more.

Off to an election night party now so see you in the morning.

How many voted against 16, odd million people. How many didnt vote at all? So are you saying we have to ignore the views of a majority of people in this country? Should we tell 36m people to get a grip of themselves for the minority 17m

So what are you actually saying here when you say "should we tell 36m people to get a grip of themselves for the minority 17"?

It looks like you are making out that they have a different view to the 17m i.e. against Brexit.

Don't start with the name calling either!!!!

Come on you've been called worse, I have.

See above Shark, what I am saying is that many didn't want either of these options but something different. Their opinion was not catered for so they were disenfranchised.

Well if you're going to do it, at least make sure that you are right first!!

The referendum question should have been something like this:

Do you wan to leave the EU without a deal?

Do you want to leave the EU with a deal?

Do you want to remain?

Underneath that there should have been a statement saying something on the lines of: if the majority want to leave with a deal there will be another referendum which would give you the option of voting whether you should accept that deal or not.

So. in my case, and I suspect millions of others I would have voted for the 2nd option instead of not voting at all and then I would have made my choice at the second referendum assuming my choice gained most votes.

Basically we would have had a clearer image how this was going to pan out and the flawed question in the first place has basically wasted 3 years.

It could also be argued that before putting the original referendum to the people that the in and ours of the potential result should have been explained in more detail so people knew exactly what they might get from a particular outcome. We don't even know what we are gonna get now if we come out for sure do we?

Before anyone moans at me, if voters still went for the leave with no deal option I would accept that because I will have had my say. The original referendum didn't allow me to have my say nor millions of others because it wasn't an option on the paper.
