I hope I'm wrong... but. Should it pan out this way then democracy is truly fucked and finished in the UK - as all main political parties will do what they want not what they're told to do by the voters.
They are not legally bound to act in a manner consistent with the recent advisory vote....it was just a sense of the People and if they want to ignore the People, they can; however, the consequences could tear the country apart - literally and politically. With BOTH major political parties there now imploding it seems none were prepared for what happened, and are making decisions on the fly now......::knight::
