Several points that I feel I must point out severed, firstly the boat I was talking about was UK politics not just the referendum and the diagram doesn’t accurately reflect the vote, its broken down into towns? it doesn’t take into account population density or the split in each town, quite misleading if you ask me

#98

It’s constituencies, isn’t it? So of roughly equal population size.

#99

If that is the case then I have learnt something but my other two points still stand…I think unless you got any more ‘facts’ to bamboozle me with Hyg? : )

I was just guessing - it looks like either constituencies or district / borough council areas.

#101

Looks like constituencies to me. Trouble is, they’re of equal population not equal geographical area - Mapping them on a geographical map gives disproportionate weight to rural constituencies like the Highlands or Aberdeenshire when compared to urban ones like Lambeth or Hackney (which were stronger remain areas)

It needs to be mapped on something like this to be of much non-propoganda value (UK general election 2010 in this case I think).

Easy to say now

#106

supporting independence doesn’t mean you’re supporting a nationalist cause, is what it means

#107

(post too short)

#108

nope

#109

Ok then

sounds like you don’t believe me. I don’t mind you having a different opinion

#111

I mind UK/British Nationalists pretending they’re not UK/British Nationalists whilst doing a cry about other people being Nationalists.

Only way I imagine it could happen is if a no confidence thing can actually trigger a GE? If that’s true your only hope is the pro EU Tories who by now should be completely disgusted with May’s direction and LDs plus the Labour MPs wholly on the pro-EU side (guessing these would be the ‘Blairites’) all basically saying “fuck our possible futures” and forming a new party whose sole claim is to ignore the result and stay in the EU.

I mean as a group they might be able to trigger a GE as mentioned above and then hope they will be voted in to quash Brexit with the support of NI and SNP MPs.

Sorry I’m on my phone here so this is even more hand wavy and muddled than it would otherwise be.

I just don’t care about my country or anyone else’s country. Really think if I didn’t have the internet I would have no idea what happened outside of my town. It’s really hard to keep just your family happy, how can you do that for millions of people?
