      Why? It’s a win/win for all the same reasons the UK should have never left.

        Half the country voted to remain.

        Firstly, not everyone in the country votes. The turnout for the EU referendum was only 72.2%.

        Secondly, of the non-spoiled ballots, only 48.1% were in favour of remaining. Which is not only much less than half the country but a good 1.9% away from the minimum 50% required for your statement not to be bollocks.

      As a British citizen, I hope that they are accepted, without any of the special concessions Thatcher handbagged out of Delors, and with the proviso that they adopt the Euro and enter the Schengen zone.
