What About Democracy?

Pre referendum but a powerful reminder on what we can lose if we remain.
Can any remainer seriously argue against this?

Patrick Minford explains how WTO rules are nothing to be afraid of.
A so called, "deal," means keeping tariffs against the outside world. Surely better to be rid of them?

Not interested in YouTube this time of the morning, but we'd hope for a deal whether in or out.

Things would depend on the actual deal. Outside trading in is better than inside being restricted on trading out. Not all deals involve interference in deals elsewhere in the world. Trade blocks are wary of them but goods properly tracked to avoid one country using another's deal to get goods into the trade block should prevent any issue. But trade blocks like to take the easy way out and block global trade instead.

As AOG predicted (I know you like a prediction) back in 2010:
‘Whenever have you known any political part to stick to their referendums?

And if they only represented the views of the majority, then that would be democracy, and we can't have that can we?’

We should all have listed to him.

“Whenever have you known any political part to stick to their referendums?”

I’ve known of three national plebiscites in my lifetime:

1975 – Do we want to remain in the EC? Answer, “yes”. Implemented.

2011 – Do you want to abandon the FPTP electoral system in favour of an Alternative Vote system? Answer “No” - Implemented

2016 – Leave or Remain in the EU? Answer “Leave”. Who knows?

Interestingly the electorate concurred with the majority of those in Parliament on the first two occasions whilst they most certainly did not on the most recent. That could be why the Prime Minister is trying to make leaving appear as close as possible to remaining (or maybe vice versa).
