Why can’t people just accept it was put to the people and respect the result, it’s not hard.
The amount of conversations I’ve had with people moaning about the governments policies and how hard done to they are but then told they don’t bother to vote as what’s the point baffles me...
Then there’s the younger so called educated generation that reckon by voting to leave we’re destroying their future, really.
As above it’s been voted on so let’s all just get on with it and if there’s any ill feeling afterwards take it out if the fat greedy politicians and their parties and force change as we’ve actually voted them in and simply accepted them doing whatever they want without any consequences

However to argue that the people who voted for Brexit have no responsibility in the negative future we will get as a result of Brexit is disengenous at best.

If you don’t vote it’s hypocritical to moan at who wins. These EU elections always have a low turnout. Could be massive for brexit party as a lot of brexit voters saw voting for farage as a shot across the bows to Parliament

Piss poor! I wonder if the 'higher' turnouts of Warwick, Malvern Hills and Stratford are remainer type areas?

I bet it put some people off.

Sweden Results (of our 20 representatives):
V (former LeftCommunistParty) 6.4% S (SocialDemocrats) 25.1% MP (Green Party) 9.5% C (Center Liberal Party) 10.3% L (Liberals) 4.4% M (former Right Party) 17.6% KD (ChristDemocrats) 7.5% SD (SwedenDemocrats) 16.9% Fi (FeministInitiative) 0.8% The rest ... 1.5%
It's a first prediction. Could be adjusted.

They told us the day after the vote we'd start to go into decline yet we appear to be on the ascendancy compared to most.

As a brexiteer, i am slightly concerned at the turnouts in Brexit seats, its more likely that the remaoners were the ones to turn out to vote.

If you look at the actual number that voted in low turnout areas, they're much larger than the posh bits! How does PR work? If the Brexit party get 30% of the votes, they get 30% of the seats available?

Very low turnout in Stoke No surprise For all the pro Brexit huff and puff for most people it's all bollocks. Disallusion with politics particularly prevelent here.
Please stop pretending Brexit is the be all end all for Stoke.
It simply isn't
Remain or leave no one gives a shit about Stoke.

I have heard it myself, Dave, in the works van. Irrespective of whether you are Remain or Leave, I think its bad for democracy to make people feel like that.
