Nobody considered the referendum to be advisory and it would be political suicide to try and play that card. I know that technically it was, but to suggest this as a credible option is churlish.
I hate where we are at, I do think that poorly educated xenophobes and racists have been manipulated into voting for something they don't really understand the real implications of and that's why remain won. That clearly isn't everyone that voted to leave, but enough to make the difference. I called it before the referendum and only last night overheard an ill informed conversation from people who voted to leave, who believe Europe will give is the deal we want because the don't want us to leave NATO. "The Iti's always run away, they changed side in World War 1 or 2"
I know that sounds pompous and arrogant, but I believe it to be the truth, however the outcome should be binding, that's what people believed they were voting for and it's only post the referendum it's been suggested otherwise. We need to try and make the best of it, I think we are in for years of struggle, but hope I'm wrong and want Brexit to be a success, I'd much rather say I was wrong than see my family suffer the consequences of failure.
