    It's a bit like saying to a battered wife "you could have left anytime".

          Some say women who stay get what they deserve. Mrs BP certainly does. I think that's a bit mean myself.

                so basically you are saying all referendums are bad and we should ignore them and the laws created based on them in case we end up in a facist state?

It's not even that difficult to do, and you might even begin to shake off the label of "complete and utter imbecile" that's ascribed to you.
                  I'm pretty sure the Brexiters are not intent on ruling the whole of Europe unlike some.

                      Switzerland has been ruled by referenda for years. It's not quite a fascist state so far.
