We would all know what that question meant. If we voted yes we would be joining the jurisdiction of the European Court of Justice. We would be joining the Single Market. We would be joining up to freedom of movement and the Schengen principles. And we would be joining up to the Single Currency.
And we would all accept the outcome. That’s Democracy.
I am not sure if, once we had voted to join, people like Blair, Starmer, Ashdown, Clark, Soubry, Sturgeon, et al would be saying, yes but we don’t want it to be “hard” Entry. People would rightly laugh at them. We voted to join. What’s wrong with you?
In June last year the Electoral Commission approved the wording for the referendum question and everyone agreed it was good. Indeed, everyone agreed we should abide by the result, with hard core Remainers like Mr Ashdown being at the front of the charge. Perhaps that is because they thought they would win.
How un-democratic are these people who now say “but we didn’t mean hard Brexit”. It’s simple, we voted to leave the EU; just the same as I hypothesised that we would join at the top of the article.
All this has cost the nation a lot of money. So it seems logical to me that all those MPs and Peers who in any way vote to stop us leaving the EU in its entirety are seeking to overturn the democratic wishes of the people expressed thought a vote approved by the Electoral Commission.
They should be individually surcharged the whole cost incurred since the referendum was first announced. Cost would include all the costs associated with parliament sitting, MPs and Peers time, the time of the civil servants involved, court costs, the cost of the the referendum itself, the costs of the campaign before the vote, (with the Leave side getting all their money back).
It’s not a military Coup d'état that’s going on. It’s worse than that. It’s a Coup d'état by democratic people who now don’t like the idea that democracy means they might lose.
