Voting will continue until the correct result is achieved [1].
> And after accusing the brexiters of just being anti immigration, still nothing was done about immigration, because fuck what people want if its not what better people want.
This is exactly it, they simply hold the public in contempt and believe they know better. The public has been extremely clear about it's voting intentions post-Blair.
> Now we have constant riots, pork pie patriots in their hundreds of thousands gathering in London, and useless promises after 20 years of lies and broken promises now that the demographics have changed massively creating a situation where one has to either do nothing or do something unsettling to revert any of this.
If only something was done 20 years ago when people originally aired their concerns. This situation was entirely foreseeable and avoidable.
I think "pork pie patriots" is a very unfair characterisation, and it's that sort of denigration of them and their opinions that has led to where we are. They have legitimate concerns about the direction the UK has gone in.
> Its like fascism for cowards.

- HK-NC 1y agoSorry, it was an unfair comment that I meant to put in quotation marks. I speak of the government. Just stomp my throat please instead of telling me this year, after two decades, this time you promise to step off because I asked.

That's exactly the point, the government want to remove your ability to ask. Every quango, NGO, committee, foreign court, etc, is a method to stop the citizen from deciding their own fate via elected officials.
