The referendum should never have happened in the first place it was Cameron's fault because he though he was fucking Jesus or something after winning the Scottish referendum (mainly due to the interventions of Brown and Darling) he thought he could part the red sea or see off the ERG and paint Farage's face and it failed spectaculary. One of the problems with referendums if that they need to be conclusive you need late 60's 70% for them to work. You cannot do anything for the greater good of the people when you have narrow win it just doesn't work. What we are seeing now is just proof of all that. Most people aren't fools its politicians that think that are cleverer than them and can take them for fools that are.
Somehow I don't think we would be hearing this argument if remain had won by 4%
The only people who seem to think it was a bad idea are usually those on the losing side. That is just human nature.

This bit is very true, This is why those that have consistently tried to overturn the ref result in Parliament using every excuse under the sun will suffer at the next GE. It is also apparent that many know this, that is why many of them are conveniently stepping down at the next GE. You could call it a cowards way out ?
