brexit was a political vote in a democracy you may not like it I may not like it but that’s our system that’s what we do. I don’t vote boris and I hate this govt but I respect he was voted in by those that do.
The system was hijacked and the politicians were harangued into allowing something that worked against everything our system normally uses as check and balance.

The referendum was pushed as being advisory by the same people who are now telling us the "oven-ready" deal they used to help get elected actually needs ripping up.

We don't generally use referendums. We don't normally allow fundamental change from a referendum without a super-majority. It isn't "what we do".

The right-wing elite (as opposed to other elites) have learned how to game the system and they are doing so mercilessly on both sides of the Atlantic.
 
That's not how averages work.

One of the problems with a lot if these discussions is that so many people do not understand what statistical terms and statistics tell you and (perhaps more importantly) what they don't.
I hope you're not suggesting you need to be educated to understand complicted stuff.
 
Quite stark really.
You can read into it what you will but the higher the qualifcation the less likely you were to vote for Brexit.
Or you could say the bigger the halfwit the more likely you are to have voted leave.
Your probably right regarding the stats with more educated voting to remain, i'm glad I'm not as educated as some the way i see it then, the more educated you are, the more you will throw personnal abuse, insult fellow posters on here, the way I see it anyway, according to my stats

And according to my stats if you voted leave you're the most thin skinned winners in the world. Calling those that won't genuflect before you bullies.

So it’s time to turn our attention to what is going now!
The laws that are currently being put in place will mean the chance of an opposition party taking power are growing less likely.
There’s going to be another gerrymandering of the constituency boundaries
A law to be passed on voter i.d. That there, by any stretch of the imagination was unnecessary…stopping a crime that was, and never has been committed. The only reason being, the disenfranchisement of 2.3M voters.
The catch all banning of protest.
There is recourse to the court for judicial inquiries into bad law. The very chance of keeping an overpowering government form becoming, more or less, a dictatorship. They are going to get rid of that
Taken those four things above. Brexit happened, it’s over. This the end game.
So, how can it be stopped under our totally inadequate constitutional arrangements?
 
Only across a fairly narrow age cohort (at least in England and Wales). Grade inflation has rendered unadjusted time-series data of little value. The main predictor of educational qualification is age, which is strongly correlated with how (and if) people voted in the referendum.
grade inflation is irrelevant in this discussion, were simply talking about having a degree or a levels, as appose to not

nonsense as we see deeply uneducated people throwing insults as much if not more.
 
its possible but less likely
Many of today's recent graduates have got useless degrees in useless topics, having been gifted them for attending a few hours of lectures a week, and saddling themselves with thousands of pounds of debt in the process, who then struggle to get a basic admin job. The more intelligent get themselves a trade, and work life experience on leaving school or study day release / part time whilst earning a wage. A numpty could go to university nowadays.

So what degree did you do?






Open goal there.

Envy is an ugly trait.
