Cameron's dereliction of duty

[IBA]

accept Ant Moxey , Cameron didn't really have a choice.

Give people a choice.
People make 'wrong' choice.
People blame person who gave them a choice.

People are f***ing stupid.

Assuming you fall into the human category, which I agree requires a certain eap of faith, then you must be "fu..." stupid too. We elect govts to make the hard choices, and then we hold them accountable if they screw up. Calling for a referendum is in itself a dereliction of duty. Do you think we should rule by referendum for every issue?

 

[Antony Moxey]

I haven't blamed anyone. I accept that people will make different choices to me and accept that if more people disagree with my choices than agree with my choices that that's what have to work with.

It's typical of the stupid to wail endlessly when they don't get their way on everything they want, and equally typical for them to declare that it's not fair and the other side must be stupid when they lose a democratic vote. I voted remain, I lost, now I have to get on with it and try and make that work. It's up to you to decide wether you need a leap of faith to determine whether that makes me human or not, but if that's the best argument you can come up with then I'm not entirely sure who the stupid one is here.

Do you think it is a dereliction of duty by Cameron to announce immediately after the referendum that he was resigning? He is the one who has thrown his toys out of the pram, isn't he?

The Act that set up the referendum makes no mention of what should happen at the end http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2015/36/contents/enacted

I can't find any other Act (I'm no expert on this matter) covering what should happen after any referendum. I guess there are no legal precedents either.

.

I spent ten minutes trying to find the relevant law, but couldn't quite pin it down. If one of you clever types can point to it or paste the wording here it would be a benefit.

No and no.

 

[IndoMike]

No and no.

OK. That's clear enough..

Leaving aside your spat with Ant (I was wondering if we needed to send a gunboat ) do you think there are any circumstances in which a Referendum should be called Michael ?

No, they should all be called Alistair.
