To be fair there was a significant proportion of leave voters who had never voted before the referendum either who were targeted by the leave campaign. The leave campaign targeted 3 million registered voters who had never previously cast a vote in a general or local election whose contact details were provided via Cambridge Analytica - roughly the same number of registered voters working abroad who were unable to vote and those two factors combined to give leave their narrow victory.@gloswhite wrote: I think the absolute disregard of a lawful and democratic vote has turned many people away from ever voting again.
...sleepwalking into disaster

The "lawful" bit is still to be decided as although the Police have been handed the Electoral Commission's findings into Russian attempts to destabilise the UK and the EU in the referendum and funding, voter targeting and other malpractice by foreign-based companies including Steve Bannon's lot, they "decided" (i.e. were told) to narrow the scope of the investigation, but are still expected to produce answers at some point.@rammywhite wrote:@wanderlust wrote:BTW the referendum was neither lawful or democratic.
I think it was both- but not legally binding. And its utterly undemocratic not to see if people think the same way now as they did a couple of years ago about the most important political issue this country has faced in decades. What are you Brexiteers afraid of? That the truth about the consequence of leaving might emerge?
If you're so sure that the majority of the voters of this country want to leave - then lets have another referendum to prove it. Tell me what you're so frightened of? Democracy??
I think this is one red line that will be the stumbling block, however May is getting more erratic in her behavior, so it wouldn't surprise me if she gave in to this demand. She's sold out a lot of the principles she was supposed to be defending, so another one may not make much difference to her.@xmiles wrote:I expect us to at least know whether the deal involves us remaining in the customs union as that seems to be a red line for the Labour party. However with Corbyn involved who knows?
We didn't vote for a deal ffs how many times.@xmiles wrote:People hate to admit they are wrong so if there is another referendum it could go either way. The only difference is that we will now know what the deal is unlike the last time.

So what exactly are they going to do if elected and if we leave?
