The unofficial 2nd EU referundum taking place today 23rd May 2019

Nonnie
Please explain in detail why you chose to vote Remain, this so that all of leavers can quiz you in depth on your decisions. I am sure you can oblige with convincing proven evidence and truly on the button statistics that prove your case beyond doubt.
Look forward to your enlghtening respinse.

Nonnie you replied to Alexa that you have been asking (why someone voted for Brexit Party) and then went on to ask for proof and justification.

Not winding me up. Perhaps 'some people' would be a more appropriate description #just saying

I see you’re winding everyone up on this thread too Nonnie❗️

No Beckett I was responding to Alexa.

Sorry Nonnie are you asking people to justify why they voted the way they did?

I don't tell anyone how I voted - something my grandfather drummed into me - it is between me and the ballot box. If others want to share that is entirely up to them

Alexa don't expect an answer, I've been asking for ages but they either ignore me or say they won't tell me . Have you noticed it seems to be a lot of emotive comments but when you ask for proof or justification it never comes.

One has even apologised to me in a PM and then been two faced on here and attacked me again. So sad and does bring into question the intellectual ability of certain people.

Alexa, is it not perfectly obvious why people voted for the Brexit party? I would have thought we can all work that one out.

Why are you not asking why people voted for the Green Party, or the LibDems, or in fact why anyone voted for any party. Why are you singling out one particular party and basically asking Gransnetters who voted Brexit party to justify their vote?

Lemon please show me the 'dozen times'.

petra you are missing the point. It is exactly the same to suggest one poster is not telling the truth as to tell another the same whatever the circumstances. Both are facts, it is not a competition.

Gabby hmm, you seem to spend a lot more time than some of us on here, were you talking about yourself?

Here is a copy and pasted PM from one of the people who has been taunting me. They continued after sending this on Friday. Says it all!

"Hi Nonnie I hope I have not upset you I was really only joining. Brexit is clearly divisive but I probably went too far.

I hope we can robustly disagree and agree but stay civil.

Again I apologise"

If you voted for the Brexit Party, please tell why you did so, if you can.

To claim the whole country wants Brexit envisioned by Faragit is simply wrong. The country is as polarised as before. 70% didn’t vote for them.

Here you are, from the BBC

We now have an idea of Farages top performance range and it comes out at about a third of the electorate.

That is the most he almost certainly will ever get.

I was discussing the EU voting with a friend over the weekend and he told me he had voted Brexit. I was surprised as he is usually middle of the road and not extremist in any way so asked him why he had voted Brexit Party.

He said it was to send a message to the main parties who were too busy scoring individual political points when they should be working together and coming up with a solution which would suit the majority. I then asked him if there was a GE would he vote for the Brexit Party again - he said no, although he has no idea who he would vote for. I don't think the Brexit Party would be as successful if there was a GE - as long as the major parties start to work together (if only to save their jobs!)

Oh dear WWM2 I almost don’t like to burst your happy but delusional bubble, but the voters decamping from Labour and the Conservatives to the BP ( the leave voters obvs) has now shown Parliament that they must go ahead
With implementing what they agreed to three years ago and get us out of the EU asap.

Oops, I don’t mean that the remain vote was significantly larger because of the way seats are allocated - I mean that the remain vote won a smaller number of seats in spite of more votes, because of the way the seats are allocated in the U.K.

In Greece, Syriza was beaten into second place by ND, and Tsipras immediately called a snap general election.

UK governing party, knocked into fifth place, please note.

The Brexit party (leave) did win the most seats - that is clear.
On the other hand, the remain vote was significantly larger because of the way seats are allocated in this country.
IF this had been a referendum (which we all know it wasn’t) - remain would have won.

Greens were very much pro remain.

Interestingly the Greens did really well in Europe especially amongst young voters.

It tells us views are still very much polarised. Not a great turnout. If 30% of those who voted voted Farage 70% didn’t, from a turnout around 40%, so,it doesn’t show a landslide for Farages views, sorry.

Upset are you that The Brexit Party won the most seats, carry on with your nasty jibes it says a lot about you.

It's been a huge victory for The Brexit Party and Nigel Farage.

Simple certainly appeals to simple Firecracker, doesn't it?

It's been a huge victory for The Brexit Party and Nigel Farage.

The other parties were all standing on different tickets only the Lib Dems on remain whichever ever way you want to twist the figures The Brexit Party standing on WTO ticket won the vote in almost all regions.
