Voter turnout was 66% which means they effectively has 24% of the vote.
4.9 million votes secured 56 SNP MPs, 8 Lib Dem MPs and one Green Party MP.
3.9 million votes secured a single filthy UKIP appendage MP.
In 1997 voter turnout fell to 71.4% and when Blair was reelected in 2001, voter turnout was 59.4%, only 2% higher than the record lowest turnout recorded in 1918 after WW1 and labour one with 42% of the votes., it feel again to 59.4%.
Look at the damage he has done and legacy he has left, both domestically and with regard to foreign policy.
Voter turnout for the EU Referendum was 72.2%. Like it or not this is historically in line with voter turnout since 1945 and well above any election since John Major was elected in 1992 which was 77.7% with only the Harold Wilson in Feburatu 1974 beating it with 78.8% voter turnout.
However, look at the numbers who actually voted.
In 1974 general election, the total electorate was 39,798,899
In 1992 general election, the total electorate was 43,249,721
In 1997 general election, the total electorate was 43,714,673
In 2001 general election, the total electorate was 44,374,047
In 2005 general election, the total electorate was 44,180,243
In 2010 general election, the total electorate was 45,597,461
In 2015 general election, the total electorate was 46,425,386
In 2016 EU referendum, the total electorate was 46,501,241
EU citizens residing in the UK are not eligible to vote in General elections or the EU Referendum in the UK
So, if you want to talk fundamentals and addressing the will of the people, it's not shite, it's never been more fairly represented if you ask me.
Anyway, UKIP are the only conservative party left, the rest are all various degrees of liberal.
Iraq, Iraq, Iraq, Iraq, Afghanistan, Iraq, Iraq, making millions from being a Middle East 'Peace Envoy', Iraq, Iraq, Afghanistan, PFI, PFI, giving Gordon your job, Iraq.
Now just fuck off.
Yours sincerely,
The British People

Blair was great mates with Murdoch, he screwed the NHS, cut benefits let the City of London run riot (we know where that got us) and then decided to go to war for his Thatcher moment. Iraq was an unmitigated disaster - no thought went into what would happen when Saddam had gone and no appreciation of the fact that Iraq needed a strongman like Saddam to keep the peace. The British army was ill-equipped and underprepared and people died as a result. All for one man's vanity project.
Remember, it's easier to criticise than create!
the decision to leave will not be changed
May will forge ahead with Art 50 and the UK will leave..
does he think that protests in various forms will make any difference??
I just don't see how they can..
it'll just be a pile of people singing and waving flags in demonstrations, signing petitions etc..
but all that has happened already..
nothing he says or tries to do will make any difference..
the vote happened, the result is what it is like it or not [which I personally don't]
but everything he says seems pointless
the UK is now on a set path with no turning back..
we just got to make the best of it [which includes us lot that wanted to remain]
Anti-social behaviour orders.
(1)An application for an order under this section may be made by a relevant authority if it appears to the authority that the following conditions are fulfilled with respect to any person aged 10 or over, namely—
(a)that the person has acted, since the commencement date, in an anti-social manner, that is to say, in a manner that caused or was likely to cause harassment, alarm or distress to one or more persons not of the same household as himself; and
[F1(b)that such an order is necessary to protect relevant persons from further anti-social acts by him.
FWIW, I voted remain. However, we have voted to leave. Therefore I'm outvoted. Whilst I'm not massively happy about it, its the will of the country... therefore so be it and now, lets make the best of it.
I think Corbyn is really just being true and showed a very lukewarm attitude to the EU, so why should he take up the lost Remain cause.
That's the problem when you have a consultation hyped up into something that it wasn't and serious intelligent people bandying around bullshit like "The will of the people" and "We elected these people to do it".
That Leave were consistently behind leaving the single market is very true. It certainly wasn't given the same prominence as certain other standpoints. The open-ended nature (deliberately so in my view) of the referendum was a huge flaw. I truly doubt we will ever see a worse political exercise in this country in our lifetimes. It was gutless to not be binding, it was pisspoor in conception, and ultimately fucking useless in execution, as we've seen from the courtroom drama since the vote.
Quite honestly, when British people talk of the deplorable state of US politics, they should start by looking closer to home. The referendum was a shameful exercise for both sides. Nobody comes out with any credit.
I agree that the referendum was a shameful exercise. In retrospect, it's clear that the establishment thought the outcome was a foregone conclusion, only for the electorate to vote the wrong way.
Their is still something ludicrous about people who have not spent any real time in the areas destroyed by the EU and its economically inept currency management going on about how wonderful and economically virtuous it is when just about every disaster predicted by eurosceptic economists has happened.
The South has become poorer and the North richer.
Several governments have become bankrupt.
Extremism as represented by Le Penn, Wilders, Podemos, 5 Star, ADF ect has risen enormously
Economic power has concentrated in Germany, to the extent that one country determines the fate of the whole union
These things are actually all facts. They have all happened and yet people get all morally up themselves when trying to defend the indefensible.
Oh it's not going to be half arsed.
It's going to be a full blown disaster.
Most of the Leavers I've met haven't a clue what they voted for and now wish they had voted remain.
They didn't think leave would win.
Idiots.
