It gets underplayed a lot on the media here and ignored by most politicians as if it s not going on.. The ones who do stand up and tell the truth are blasted, where I am in Glasgow we do have immigrants but nothing like this or whats going on elsewhere thank god.. Roma in Sheffield: 'When it goes off, it will be like an atom bomb here’ - Telegraph this is just the one story, plenty more but we keep being told that these people are bringing prosperity to our country.. who are they kidding. we have never seen so many beggars on our streets some very old people usually women left out in the cold to beg terrified of going home empty handed. if this is our prosperity then they can stick it.

Definitely not!!

Sets a bad precedent. Imagine a future general election and 30% of the electorate don't vote. The winning party win by a slim margin. The losing party moans. A 2nd election is called. A chunk of that 30% who didn't vote were complacent voters for the losing party first time round. So now they bother to vote and reverse the election so that the losing party is now the winner!

The now losing party moan, and call for a 3rd election. Another chunk of those that didn't vote 2nd time round for the losing party, vote. So now they bother to vote and........

.... and on and on it goes .

the only winners here will be the Constitutional Lawyers arguing the toss regarding the legitimacy of the Referendum

They can argue until the cows come home Zola. They dare not even think about finding an excuse for another referendum. First will be the problem within the Tory party of out campaigners screaming the place down. Then you have the public who won't accept it.

Seventeen and a half million who voted for it. If only one in a hundred come out on the streets and riot, that's over 70,000 people. They will need to get the police and army, and a private army out to combat that. Then, because of the chaos, they will have to call a general election, which UKIP are just waiting for. The Labour party, the official opposition, is in a state of near collapse.

There will not be another vote. They called the referendum, and they lost. It was legitimate, and they tried to scare us to death. They still lost. It's over, and from what I hear, they know the result has to be accepted.

True, but until Article 50 is invoked I suspect the vote will still be contested regardless of your measured reasoning.
