Yes of course you can agree with them, that is your right. However if you agree with that decision you have to exercise the democratic principal of losers consent and stop squealing about how the result was invalid and unlawful.
I have explained disproportionate leave push factors and the scare tactics employed, remain spent twice the money of leave in the campaign and even broke the law in doing so.
All you keep coming back with is the bus slogan and the conspiracy theory of Cambridge Analytica. It’s time you moved on, the thrust of your argument is dead.
Why do you say weird things like "democratic principle of losers consent" or that I am "squealing about how the result was invalid and unlawful."
Once again, I am not British, and I am not a European citizen, so being unaffected both directly and indirectly, regardless of leave or stay, I am neither a winner nor loser in any aspect.
Words like "invalid" and "unlawful" are your own words. I used words like "misinformed" and "constitutionally non-binding", and, like the majority of Britains polled since 2017, I believe that Britain and Britains will be worse off economically as a result of a misinformed election result.
While you explained, or rather claimed, "disproportionate leave factors and the scare tactics", apparently you explained it, and arrived at conclusions of relative magnitude, without any data.
It's cute that you refer to Cambridge Analytica as a "conspiracy theory". I think I'm going to believe Cambridge Analytica employees on this topic.
Speaking of spending campaign violations, it seems that the leave campaign also broke several laws including campaign violations and failures to report them. (See link below)
If I were inclined to declare the referendum "unlawful", it would not be because I disagreed with the result, or believed the voters were both under-informed and misinformed. It would be because both the "stay" and "leave" campaigns broke the laws.
We seem to be in complete agreement that both sides were misinformed, and now we see both sides broke election laws. Is this the kind of democracy you want to defend?
