It would require some politician with balls. Unfortunately those few routinely lie to the public. Cameron could have said either he gets a revote or they must dethrone him. That would require balls to put his entire legacy on the line.

No one wants to set precedence; constantly revoting on any referendum. So Englishmen should suffer economically. Other nations are right to say that is good. Especially since it should be a wakeup call to anyone who votes for Trump - or voted for Berlusconi.

A referendum on condemnation is just as likely (and productive). UK can vote to retract the citizenship of Boris Johnson, Nigel Farage and some Sun reporters who could not bother to learn facts before making conclusions. Apparently a requirement to work for Murdoch.

Of course, that also will not happen. But it should. Since 'leavers' lied to everyone - even themselves. "Send them back to Syria." Since they and not immigrants are the problem.

Not all Britains voted for Brexit. But every British citizen can and should be criticized for stupidity. Feel free to criticize every UK citizen for voting for change: from a biggest player and powerbroker in the EU and world into a fringe state with no voice and no power. Amazing how so many British adults vote like children. How many Americans were just as easily manipulated to vote for Cruz, Fiorina, or Trump?

Correct - a little over half of the people who voted, voted to leave.

A little under half the people who voted, voted to remain.

Leaving is the stated will of 17.4 million people. The population of the UK is a little over 64 million.

So fuck you with your 'every British citizen' can be called stupid.

Unfortunately that is the nature of an election (or referendum). Everyone takes responsibility (or blame) for the results. We (all Americans) massacred 5000 American soldiers for no purpose in Iraq. Completely irrelevant whether I said George Jr (actually Cheney) was a liar. We all decided to massacre them for no useful purpose. We all take blame because a majority did not try to protect them.

All Britains must now take responsibility for those consequences (or flee to Scotland and demand succession or flee to the EU as an immigrant). You do have options.

Does a UK citizenship still provide some rights or privileges in Canada?

I know - you're quite right. It still rankles with me though :P

Aside from the fact all my friends and family are here - and the total lack of anything approaching adequate funds to move house ... Yorkshire is my home. Were I inclined to up sticks once the country runs aground, I'd have done so the moment the Tories got into power. All the shit that has happened to my country - and my class, was depressingly predictable once they were given free reign.

Don't know. Probably not ;p

Doesn't it look a little like the astro-turfing we get here when the elite want something so they create the support?
