It was barely a majority vote and anyway it wasn't legally binding so the government could have totally ignored it at the time and been fine the vote was utterly pointless.
The problem is the morons held the vote then decided to uphold the decision of the vote even though It was essentially only getting soundings.
It was a trade relationship why was it a matter of public consultation?
The people of the UK have been extremely hurt by this and it's just irritating to see that apparently there would be resistance in the EU to fixing a mistake. Why is there resistance I don't get it?
The history of British whining and cherrypicking. They never behaved like regular members, but more like "special snowflakes". I understand the fear that they might start this nonsense again, once back in the the union.
Do you see the problem with this approach?
