I'm a proud remoaner.
Leaving the EU will cost me more in goods & services : I don't want this, I want to save money. That's why I'm here.
The conservatives have been dogged by their EU-sceptics for years (Farage being their partner-in-crime), that's why they were pressured into holding the referendum.
I want to breathe clean air; have clean water & beaches; and workers/consumers rights - all of which the EU has given us. The conservatives want to take every EU rule, water it down and turn the clock back decades.
I accept that the EU isn't perfect but walking away from it isn't the way forward. To change things you need to be around the negotiating table. I wish the Labour party would wake up to this fact and vote against Brexit. In this country, parliament is sovereign. Referendums have no authority and I believe that the result was a protest against Cameron & Osborne's austerity measures. They've all gone now and left us in a mess. To undo over 40 years' work by March 2019 ? Ain't going to happen. We won't get a better deal than we're getting right now. Brexit is turning out to be a shambles and we need to tell our politicians that it should be scrapped.0 -

Yes, and Parliament voted by a large majority to leave the EU. Remember.
Plus, we have already had a 2nd Referendum, it was called the General Election, where over 80% of the voters voted for parties who's manifesto pledged to leave the EU and end freedom of movement. Remember that one. That was a much stronger vote to leave than the Referendum.
All those students and younger people moaning about the Referendum eventually went out and voted for a party pledged to leave the EU, they could have voted for the Lib Dems if they wanted to stay.
People should accept the fact that we voted to leave, TWICE.
P.S. Just read your whole post and what you write is actually quite pathetic and clutching at straws that aren't there.0
