He could be more suited for the LibDems as they don't accept a democratic decision of the people...
They're saying the result was in some way fraudulent or incorrect?
I thought they were saying that having spent 3 years trying and failing to achieve the result of the referendum, they'd like another vote to see if the will of the people has changed.
Well your argument would have more merit if the Lib Dem’s hadn’t voted against every attempt to get Brexit though
It’s the same as you refusing to put your bins out and then complaining that the council haven’t emptied them
No it's not. It's the same as me saying I don't want my bins emptied and then writing to the council to ask them to change their bin emptying policy so that they don't empty mine.

What's wrong with voting and campaigning against something you disagree with? After all, it's what Leavers did for years until they got their way.

The reality is in the European parliament, local elections, by-elections the remain voters have been the largest percentage over the country as a whole. Reversing in many cases the last time these seats were voted for. Says it all really, the people want a vote. And if there was a People's Vote to leave then I would shut up and so would the Lib Dems, just holding the Govt. to account as all opposition MP's have to do

Sorry - I don't understand. Where in that statement do you think reality is being twisted?

That's not true for the Euros, as I believe I have already pointed out the last time you made that false claim.
In the Peterborough by-election for example, the two remain parties got 15% of the vote. If you think that is the "largest percentage" you really need to get that GSCE maths.

The four by-elections have seen three Labour holds and one Sinn Fein hold. What exactly do you think was reversed?

No, what it says is that you can't fact check.

Shouldn't the Govt be held to account in terms of delivering on the result of the 2016 referendum? You certainly can't hold them to 'account' for not doing something they never said they'd do in the first place.

In every election the pro remain vote has gone up over the country as a whole whilst the pro leave has gone down.
When the referendum was held the Tory Govt had a reasonable majority now it has to depend on the DUP.
