We know, but she should do it because it's what the people voted for. That whole democracy thing.

Several aspects of democracy require a clear majority far greater than a 2% difference.

Then you guys should just stop holding votes if you're gonna pull the "you didn't win by enough" thing every time you don't like the outcome. It makes it seem like a country full of school children. When an *American* of all people is saying that..that should tell you something.

So the new PM is going to be someone who was against Brexit? Makes total sense.

So if Trump beats Hilary by 2% should Hilary be president?

No it just means you go "it didn't count". Which apparently British politicians can *actually do* lol.

I'd love to be able to do that every time a vote turned out the way I didn't like. Meh..it just didn't count, you didn't win by enough.

The UK should apply that to soccer games. I want people winning by 10 goals or more or it doesn't count. We'd see some Green Street Hooligans action right quick if that happened lol.

Yeah. Ya gotta love Liberals. They ***** that the amount they LOST buy wasn't BIG enough. So next step is to take it to court. Whee it can be settled by as little as one person. ALL HAIL THE MINORITY!!

LOOOL

I mean now it's to the point where you're reminding me of shitty movies. Remember in the very first Fast and Furious Paul Walker is all "ha I almost had you!" and then Vin Diesel mentally slaps the f*cking shit out of him and says "it doesn't matter if you win by an inch or a mile".

When we have to turn to Vin Diesel for wisdom..all is lost. Do you guys want us to send Vin out to the UK for a few weeks?

Its an aspect of American laws as well. 😬

Getting insulted by you is like getting slapped by a spider. Disgusting and pathetically ineffectual.

Can you factually back this up?

It wasn't an insult, just an observation. You have this big impactful vote and then afterwards it is: do over!

Sure, google "supermajority".

Oh I don't doubt it one bit, politicians in this country can be pieces of shit too. It doesn't surprise me(look at the electoral college), it just does make me feel better because I think a lot of Americans were beginning to worry other countries were way less ignorant than us and Brexit proved us wrong. Or rather the reactions to it did.

That is true. Luckily we just needed to wait like a week for some maniac to murder 200 children and y'all to just looking into the camera and shrug your shoulders to get back on top.

I know about that, however that clause is not in effect for this election.

This election is non-binding. Nothing needs to be done in response to it.

I know right it's like every other week 200 children are murdered here. Like child murder is to us what mass rape is to Europe.

The people spoke and the super majority is not in effect.

I just love that countries exist where they can have votes and nothing needs to be done in response to it lol.

How much money did setting up this vote cost you guys? It's not like you took the vote tally via mental telepathy, so it had to cost a decent chunk of change to set this up.
