Remember the Eu
Referendum 2016?
The 2016 EU referendum was the biggest and most well attended celebration of
democracy ever held in the UK. As we all know, on a huge turn-out, the majority voted to leave the EU.
Even so, the Leave majority should have been higher. But many were
intimidated into voting remain by a mountain of ugly fear-mongering
propaganda. All paid for by the wealthy corporate sponsors of the remain
campaign.
Yet enough of the proles held their nerve.
We metaphorically
punched the sneering metropolitan elite and their political stooges
on the nose.
We demanded the
return of national self-determination. No more should we
be dictated to by an anointed group of self serving bureaucrats, especially
by those in foreign lands.
We should all
remember as well that this was no overnight whim of the British
public. We have been promised (and then denied – because they
thought they’d lose) referenda on EU membership by all main
political parties over many years. The Eu referendum was only held
when the Conservatives ran out of wriggle room.
Implementing
Our Decision?
But how goes the
proud boast published and sent to every home in the land? Do you
remember? The promise that whatever the result, the governemt would
[quote] “implement
your (the voters) decision”[unquote]
It goes badly.
It goes badly not
because a democratic desire for self determination is ill considered
or that removing ourselves from a ugly monolithic and elitist
bureacracy is wrong.
It goes badly
because there is a well funded, EU inspired tranch that seeks to
overturn the democratic decision of the UK population.
The EU has a long
and shameful history of doing this (I won't bore you with it here but
here’s a pre-referendum post of mine detailing their methods Click Here …).
So whats the plan?
How the EU plans to De-Rail Brexit.
Going on past
performance and the current remainer MSM reporting (See Here) it looks
like the main EU battle plan is to force a second referendum.
There will be another huge fear campaign (which actually looks to be already in full swing). As the vote nears they will throw in a couple of concessions (to be reneged on later). They have successfully done this before in
Denmark (1993) and Ireland (2001 and 2008)
If they succeed,
then in essence meaningful universal franchise democracy in the UK
will have ended.
Referenda wise,
there will be no “best of three”.
Two hundred years of
progress towards meaningful democratic participation for the demos
(or plebs, proles or whatever you want to call us) will have ended.
So how should we the
great unwashed non metropolitan un-elitist JAMs defend our democracy
from what amounts to a EU inspired coup?
Primarily we MUST
consider how to see off a second referendum. Ideally we should
quash a second referendum before it is held.
But unfortunately
due to the leverage the Eu has on the political classes, it is likely
to get political traction and be forced through parliament without
having to appear in anyone's manifesto.
Don’t forget, the
majority of MPs (including the Prime Minister, Chancellor and Leader
of the Opposition) were/are all remainers. They are (to say the
least) reluctant brexiteers. They are more interested in jobs and
power than fulfilling the interests of the British public.
But if a second referendum is forced through parliament, what should we do? Here is my opinion.
Boycott a
Second Referendum
(the following is my
current opinion only and is open to challenge. I am quite happy to
embrace better ideas and ditch this)
The published
statement “We will implement your decision” means just that. It
does not mean “we’ll ask again later if you say leave”.
Holding a second
referendum before we have exited the EU is invalid. Nothing has
changed to the extent to justify nulling the first result in favour
of a second.
The first referendum
was held only after it was included in a pre-election manifesto. The
government was elected on that manifesto. It was a manifesto pledge
and so had to be honoured, albeit reluctantly.
If remainers wish to
hold a second referendum - that’s fine. As long as they obey the
same rules and AFTER the original referendum is honoured.
Specifically they
need to get the second referendum included as a pledge in a party
manifesto. That party then needs to be elected to government on that manifesto. Then
they can hold their second referendum.
So if the
EU/Remainers force an invalid referendum, should we the public take
part in this travesty of democracy?
My answer to that is
No! (or rather HELL NO!)
The response to any
imposed second referendum should be BOYCOTT.
OK this means the
remainer will “win” their illegal referendum (if they are stupid
enough to hold it) but as long as the turn out is derisory (say
30-35%) and wholly one sided they will clearly not have a mandate.
We can of course
start organising such a boycott now. We can for example get prominent
folk to publicly state they will not vote in such an invalid
referendum.
I would suspect that
given the prospect of a significant referendum boycott the
remainers/Eu may take fright and the second referendum would be
abandoned anyway.
Finally we the
Boycotters, as well as pledging to boycott the vote, we can also
sign a declaration refusing to aknowledge the validity of the bogus
second referendum.
So that’s my idea.
Maybe you have a better one. Write it up let’s get the ideas out
there. If we are going to defeat this anti-democratic EU inspired
conspiracy – we need to get the ball rolling.
Time is getting
short!
