Remoaners seems to forget the meaning of democracy

I have come to the conclusion that the Remoaners are no better than Nicola Sturgeon in keeping on about wanting another referendum on leaving the EU. After having had one legal and democratic vote, they want another because it did not suit them.

They should turn their animosity on the very people that called for the vote in the first place, this was the establishment who misread the feelings of the electorate, and assumed that the vote would be to stay in the EU. To make such an error the establishment were certainly not on top of their job and in that respect should not be in public office for being so out of touch, these are the people that the Remoaners should direct all their venom at and not the people that voted to get out of the EU.

Will the Remoaners moan if the next general election goes against them and demand another?

And if so, do they think that they are democratic? I think not, they are more like a rabble of professional soccer players who remonstrate with the referee about nearly every decision he makes that they do not agree with, they do not realise that without a referee there would be no match and they would not be paid the ridiculous sums of money that they are.

Let’s be honest. This was one of the most straightforward elections that we have ever had – no long list of names of people, some that you may have never heard of, just do you want to stay in the EU; yes or no?

And I think everybody understands what those two words mean, though judging the antics of some of the younger population these days I am beginning to have my doubts. Votes at 16? They do not even seem to know what sex they are at that age.
