I have, on another thread, outlined the reasons that I voted to leave maisie and I stand by those reasons - just for those who have not read what I said, racism was not the reason - in fact I think that our membership of the EU has fueled racism by leaving us unable to make our own decisions about immigration and raising fear amongst some sections of the population. Fear leads to attack and bigotry.
But - if we did not leave, I would do nothing - firstly because there is nothing I could do; secondly because I do not regard the referendum result as binding for three reasons:
- the appalling way that it was set up with no clear parameters as to necessary turnouts or margins.
- the way the campaigns were conducted - fueling partisan views rather than providing objective sources of information.
- the result was so marginal that I do not see it as binding on a decision so important.
