[QUOTE="The Ruminant, post: 4555968, member: 487"] I will reiterate [USER=3169]@Hindsight[/USER] ‘s point. A general election is about more than just Brexit. It’s about how you believe a future government will run a whole country and a whole economy. The pro-remain parties weren’t good enough on these wider issues to garner enough votes whilst the main parties had all committed to back Brexit (though still with no detail in their manifestos as to what “brexit“ actually meant). I seriously considered abstaining but, as a believer in democracy, chose what in my opinion was the best of the worst. Much like I voted in the referendum: I didn’t believe the headline promises of the Brexiteers, I wasn’t given any guidance about the detailed problems that might arise from a split with the EU and so, on balance (and despite my misgivings about some of the EU’s activities) voted for the best of the worst. The difference, I suppose, is that if I (or the country) makes a wrong decision at a general election, they have another go to put it right in 5 years time. With the referendum, it was one chance. Get it wrong and tough! What none of us know is have we got it wrong.....? [/QUOTE]
