Would you agree that Farage's voting record is pretty poor?

He already has done.

Roughly the same difference as your MP. He's 1 of 650, rather than 1 of 750.

Still, since Farridge and the kippers don't actually vote on the merits of any proposal, but with the stated aim of simple disruption, you're probably right. Pity it means the UK wastes a third of its voting strength.

We are leaving so its onward and upward now lets leave historical arguments to one side and get on with the future ... or are you still in mourning nearly 2 years after the wonderful result .

Y'see - that's the problem...

We don't even know if it's "onward and upward". It's looking less and less likely to be "upward" by the day - but you don't actually care. You just want the result so badly, even if it is actually harmful for the country. Simple xenophobia.

The same is true if you just swap things arround.

What you do not get (yet ?) is that many many people voted to be out of a system of government and the direction that system is taking us/the Eu.

We then/now have to get on with things as best we can and face the problems and benefit from, the advantages and challenges that will bring. These will be many and varied.
Neither you or I can state for certain what those will be. (I know you like to think you can, but if I may advise you a little, please try not to attempt to convince me you can predict it any more than I can)

A ridiculous extension of what he has said. But we haven’t had the ‘brexiters are xenophobes’ line for a day or two.

You hate UK civil servants? The very same people who'll be in charge delivering your 'freedom'? And some question Ashcroft's poll results.

So who ARE you referring to as the "unelected bureaucrats", if not the civil service?
MEPs?

Can't be the commission, because their Westminster equivalent is even more "unelected".

If racism was a major driving force in the leave vote, how would people suggest this be countered in any second referendum?
