Good riddance I say to the most corrupt Chinese bank in the world.  Why they haven't already had their licence revoked is anyone's guess.

They are all in the same boat.

Unfortunately, they bring revenue to the exchequer.

....and when business is transferred elsewhere..............

But if we elect politicians should we then have referendums on single policy issues?

It would stop the situation we seem to be in now. People taking pens to make their vote unalterable because they distrust our institutions so much. We need something which reminds politicians who gave them the power they wield.

So what action can  be taken ?

[Mr Gray]

It will be triggered when the UK decide and not at the insistence of anyone else.

My Italian hairdresser (born in UK) said he was taking a pen to vote with!

Maybe the whole system needs changing whereby instead of voting for a particular party the electorate votes on all major policy issues via an electronic system? 

I don't see why we had a referendum on the EU but not for example the Iraq war?

You haven't got a clue.

[Alfie]

Who told you that Alfie? Nobody knows who voted for what.

Are you not aware of the demographics of those in the areas where the leave vote was strongest?

To take one diverse area, tell me all about the West Midlands then. Who were those who voted leave there, with cites please.

Perhaps this will help, though a word of warning - it is from the MSM and not an anonymous blog so no doubt won't pass muster with you on the accuracy stakes.

We could play a similar game with the stats for the England referendum results.
