Listening to the aftermath of a very distasteful American election, its abundantly clear that all sides are prepared to accept the choice of the election , and abide by the democratic vote.
Very good for stability of the economy and this will steady international concerns .
Why I ask has this been difficult for the remain voters in the recent referendum in the UK.
As in the USA a large part of the population are unhappy with the way our country is being run and have demanded change .
The question was asked the majority responded , why is this not being graciously accepted , why can't the losers get behind the government and seize the opportunity that this vote has given the people ?
As the Americans are sensibly doing ?

How many times do you need to be told?

"No , I'm concerned that the remain MPs will use the process to derail the democratic choice."
You do know there were MP's in the Government who voted remain. Including the sitting Prime Minister.
"The responsibility of the negotiation lies with the elected government who called the referendum"
No it doesn't, as per the laws of our country.

Their job is to ratify it.
Can some please explain to me how the parliament is going to join in a process which will only be triggered once the same parliament has ratified the vote to enter into a negotiation which will be carried out over two years due to its complexity.
The responsibility of the negotiation lies with the elected government who called the referendum.
Zlat, please stop going off topic, I'm in another time zone 4 hours ahead of the uk, putting my children to bed and so on, not proping up benefits office wall

Okay. I respect your opinion but I disagree. I think we've just about aired our opinion on the topic
I will leave you in peace for the rest of your evening!

I don't get this "negotiating" the terms of the Brexit thing?
We don't have anything to bargain with do we?
What exactly is she negotiating and who with? Surely whoever she is talking to can just say to whatever she is requesting "You want to go? OK, Goodbye."

Chap on the radio said ,"the UK public want a Scandinavian level of service with an American level of taxation".
Some people are never going to be happy because they don't want to take the time to actually understand why what they want just isn't possible in the timeframe/with the constraints demanded.

Recommend this site:

Not the most attractive site, but really quite interesting and written by leavers who know what they're talking about. Which is refreshing.

I think the difference between us and Scandinavians is that they view tax almost like a investment.
I lived in Finland (which isn't strictly Scandinavia) but the culture there is much more of a collective than it is here. A lot of the times they are willing to sacrifice a bit of disposable income so that they can have a strong welfare system.
Whats great about those countries is almost everyone is middle class living comfortably. Probably why, I'm looking to go back.

In fainess there's plenty of people who would be happy with this. Probably about 48.1% of the population in fact.
