So are we now at a point where based on todays result people accept that the UK keeps voting for brexit. There has been so many parties, people, friends, family screaming for a second vote, a people's vote, a confirmatory vote, anything the minority can get their hands on.


Are we done now?

I'd like one, but that ship has sailed and Labour royally fked it up. Hopefully JC is on it.

Yep, should've happened but it's too late now. We're leaving, can only hope Boris big majority means he can tell the ERG to go swivel and not no deal us.

Funnily enough, 52% of the vote yesterday went to remain/2nd ref parties, but they got smashed on the seat front. Hooray for first past the post.

I think the chances of revoke or 2nd referendum firmly stand at next to zero. Perhaps now remainers can accept that, and the electorate has crossed party lines to make sure brexit was carried out, and firmly rejected the MP's who triggered a50 and then spent 3 years trying to stop brexit.

Errr. Not strictly true.

Surely it won't be remain, but from 31st Jan it will be rejoin. That is a very different prospect.

I wonder if the LDs and SNP will take this policy?

This, but for me it is also the fact that after 26 years, there is finally the chance that, that a 26 year old wrong, will finally be addressed.
Now there seems to be the chance at least that the idea of democracy has a chance (even a faint one) of surviving in the UK. and for me that in itself is a huge relief.

Not a second vote, but I'd love to wake up to this sort of news every day. hehe

I went to sleep after 10, having just had a brief glimpse at the Sky exit poll predictions. At that time they looked good for the Cons, but I thought "it's a long night, I'm not staying up to see all the results in and I can't change the outcome anyway.

Got up, went down stairs to get the kettle on, got on the toilet to shift a load and looked at the news on my phone... happy days.

Lies, damn lies and statistics.

One referendum
Two elections

All three have put a majority towards actual or pro leave camps.

it seems that the remainers tactic of make them keep voting until we get the 'right' answer has finally dried up.

FWIW didn't want to leave (but would have liked to halt the united states of Europe that is starting to try to emerge), still don't want to leave, but since 24th June 2016 have been disgusted at the behavior of some to thwart the implementation of the will of the people.

As for the SNP asking for another bite of the cherry they said was a once in a generation opportunity in their version of make them vote till they get it right i think that Boris should grant their request, and seek to pass a bill for the 2050 Scottish referendum - that way they all get what they want, and no one has been lied to as that would be about a generation since the last one...

I've already seen four separate posts "pointing out" that non brexit supporting parties got more votes combined than the tories - therefore this result can't possibly be considered a mandate for Brexit...

Not really. If labour had a proper policy (one way or the other), and had not gone so left wing the result may have been more interesting. But they did and we are now where we are, that is it.

By that token the Liberals should have won then.

I hear Nigel Farage is forming the Reurit Party. Hes discovered that the life after brexit is boring, so needs to get on the front pages again with his rejoin eu party.

We should have had a second vote 3 years about when the country was split 50/50 on the issue.

The vote should have required a 65/70% majority to actually mean anything.

Yes. Too late now.

If this has been a 'Brexit election' then doing it first past the post is a total piss take but I guess that was the plan all along.
