There was so much wrong with the #EUreferendum, that had it been a legally binding vote, instead of just ‘advisory’, the courts could and would have annulled the result as compromised and unsafe.

The problems with the #Brexit ‘win’ are so numerous, so serious, and so undemocratic, that the country should have a new democratic opportunity to reconsider our departure from the #EU.

In the following tweets are just SOME of the reasons why:

▪ 𝗧𝗛𝗥𝗘𝗘 of the five territories required to vote in the #EUreferendum – Scotland, Northern Ireland and Gibraltar – voted for Remain.

Yet, #Brexit still went ahead.

▪ 𝗠𝗜𝗟𝗟𝗜𝗢𝗡𝗦 of citizens from the rest of the #EU living and working in the UK, and hundreds of thousands of British citizens living across the EU, were denied a vote in the #EUreferendum, even though the outcome directly affected them.

▪ 𝗢𝗡 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗢𝗧𝗛𝗘𝗥 𝗛𝗔𝗡𝗗, citizens resident in the UK from over 70 different countries WERE allowed to vote in the referendum.

Was that fair when most citizens living in the UK from other #EU countries were refused a vote?

▪ 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗥𝗘𝗙𝗘𝗥𝗘𝗡𝗗𝗨𝗠 was riddled with serious irregularities, illegalities, and alleged fraud, resulting in the Leave campaigns being fined for significant overspending and misuse of data.

▪ 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗟𝗘𝗔𝗩𝗘 𝗖𝗔𝗠𝗣𝗔𝗜𝗚𝗡 had to rely entirely on lies to win. All the reasons to leave the #EU were based on misinformation, mistruths, and false promises. (Yes, all of them – see breturn.eu-rope.com).

▪ 𝗣𝗨𝗧𝗜𝗡’𝗦 𝗥𝗨𝗦𝗦𝗜𝗔 helped to fuel and fund #Brexit – something the European Court of Human Rights is now looking into. (See theRussianConnection.co.uk)

▪ 𝗡𝗢𝗕𝗢𝗗𝗬 who voted for Leave could have given their informed consent. That’s because the country was not sufficiently informed about the consequences of leaving the #EU.

No version of #Brexit was defined or agreed in the #EUreferendum.

▪ 𝗢𝗡𝗟𝗬 a minority of the electorate gave their positive support for #Brexit, just 37%.

▪ 𝗟𝗘𝗔𝗩𝗘 did not achieve a decisive win. The difference between Leave and Remain in the #EUreferendum was less than 4% - within the 'margin of error' for many statistical reports.

▪ 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗥𝗘𝗙𝗘𝗥𝗘𝗡𝗗𝗨𝗠 – by Act of Parliament – was advisory only, but the government treated it as binding.

Consequently, Parliament was denied a debate and vote on WHETHER the UK SHOULD leave the #EU. (See brexitdecision.eu-rope.com)

▪ 𝗧𝗢𝗗𝗔𝗬 polls consistently show that most voters think #Brexit is a mistake and they would now vote to rejoin (See ‘Britain Doesn’t Want Brexit': )

▪ 𝗕𝗥𝗘𝗫𝗜𝗧 offers no benefits at all, only serious disadvantages. Leaving the #EU has considerably damaged Britain with more harm to come.

𝗦𝗢, 𝗪𝗛𝗔𝗧 𝗗𝗢 𝗪𝗘 𝗗𝗢?

The flawed #EUreferendum and #Brexit have happened – we can’t change the past.

But we could change the future, in the knowledge that the entire Brexit fiasco was based on a massive fraud.

Legitimately and democratically, it is possible to get #Brexit changed, if that is the will of the electorate.

Our task now should be to persuade parties, politicians, and the country that closer relations with the #EU, leading eventually and hopefully to returning as a full member, is in Britain’s best interests.
