If it had been the reverse at the vote in 2016 and we had been asked do you want to join the EU, there would have been no question as to the outcome if the vote had been Yes. We would have voted to join all the institutions, the single currency and courts of the EU. No cherry picking.
It may have escaped his notice but the people of the UK voted to leave the EU. That vote is over with. And the two key things that came from that vote are, one we voted to leave the jurisdiction of the European Court of Justice and two, we voted for our UK parliament to be sovereign over our laws.
The only thing now to consider is what sort of relationship does the remainder of the EU want with the UK.
Yes, perhaps people don’t like the result. I often don’t like the result of elections. But that doesn’t mean you can over turn it just because you don’t like it.
People like Sir Patrick simply don’t believe in democracy. They believe they know better than the majority who voted Leave.
Putting it simply, they believe people who voted Leave are stupid and didn’t know what they were doing when they voted the wrong way. On that basis we should only allow people like Sir Patrick to vote in elections and to be on juries at trials. No one else will understand the complexities of the issues to be decided.
