Build a wall to keep the sweaty socks out, gets my vote all day long.

What you said in your post above Room 0182 was:

Parliament overwhelmingly voted to pass the decision as to our membership of the EU to the people in the form of a referendum.

When the only reason for the referendum which you then mention in your next post was that Cameron stated in the Conservative manifesto that if he got in again then he would give the country the chance of a referendum, which kind of contradicts your earlier point.

If you were therefore saying "Parliament overwhelmingly voted to pass the decision as to our membership of the EU to the people in the form of a referendum" then that's wrong on both counts, as Parliament didn't pass anything and certainly didn't give the decision to the people based on the referendum vote, if you yourself now are alluding to it being advisory and not legally binding.

The government can act on the referendum result by having the vote in Parliament and if the Leavers think the result would be a shoo-in to leave then why do some of them have a problem with that vote taking place? Especially if they presumably knew what they themselves were voting on regarding the referendum.

Like I said originally in the thread, I suspect many didn't have a clue though.

Must be said that the eastern european influx has been, economically speaking, a boon for the country not a burden.
I do doubt that the uk would have been in economic growth so soon after the crash of 2008 without the  industry of the poles and romanians.

Talked to a couple of lasses last night and they said what I said the old brigade are stock on the past
not all but a large percentage but at least they loved my liberal political viewpoint and weren't Farage
bullers all shout and no truth...

ima,

Perhaps I'm not making myself clear.

The Conservatives promised to put the decision whether to stay in the EU to the people in the form of a referendum, were they to win the election. promising to respect the result.

They won the election.

They then fulfilled that promise by introducing a bill (European Union Referendum Act 2015) which Parliament duly passed.

We voted to leave.

"Advisory" or not, I expect the result of the referendum to be honoured. The Courts decided that would have to be via another parliamentary vote. Fine by me.

"Leavers think the result would be a shoo-in to leave then why do some of them have a problem with that vote taking place?"

Because many believe, understandably, that politicians can't be trusted to respect democracy. Fortunately, judging by the vote today, so far that concern appears to be misplaced.
