Dear Prof,
I love it when your engineering mind wants to play lawyer! When they entered the EU in 1973 what was the procedure? That set the precedent. It must also be followed when they re-vote to remain or exit.On 25 June 2016 at 01:55, Mobolaji Aluko <alukome@gmail.com> wrote:
Kenneth:This is what is very worrying over an issue as important as this: even in 10 people more had voted to "Brexit" rather than to "Bremain", we would still be talking about a Brexit move.I would have thought that a SUPER-MAJORITY clause should have been given to this - that unless a difference like 10% - or even 15% - was achieved, the 43-year-old status quo should be maintained. Is that not what is done, when 2/3 majority or 4/5 majority is required rather than simple majority? Or that if the vote is within 5%, a five-year breathing period will be provided, and a re-vote taken, after which a simple majority would be allowed?But that is spilled milk now....Bolaji Aluko--On Fri, Jun 24, 2016 at 12:56 PM, kenneth harrow <harrow@msu.edu> wrote:the masses? are the majority the masses, and the losers the important people? the vote was 52% to 48%. i'd say it was largely split. it would be interesting to know that roughly the 16 million voters who lost were all the important people!

All the important persons pleaded for votes to remain in the European Union in the "UK Decides", yet the UK will leave because the most important persons, the masses want UK to leave.
