If politicians lie then people can be misled by them, can't they? That's all I'm asking you to acknowledge here. Thinking something that's not true because you've been lied to isn't a moral failing. It doesn't make you an awful person. I've been taking some pains to point this out.
You're right! Just as well I explicitly rejected any such thing, isn't it?
I don't mind being disagreed with but FFS, please disagree with what I've written and not with what you'd like me to have written.

Well we live in unpredictable times, basically.
The FN came second in the last election and a quick shufty at Marine LePen’s Wikipedia page reveals she is not a big fan of the EU in its current form and would like a referendum. So that is interesting in the context of the poll you mention. Maybe her support rests on something else?

What does this actually mean in practical terms?
How do you think voters are or would be “held responsible”?

You might be right Rich, but I’m fairly sure it was their position when they came second, so it’s not that detrimental.

In fact I could be wrong too.
But it's not a huge surprise to see Brexit making EU referendums increasingly unpopular in the rest of the EU. I mean that even if you don't accept that the Tories are slightly disappointed with the way they handled it, I think it's not gonna be controversial that most of EU populace is watching in a mixture of horror and hilarity... certainly they are in Lisbon to bolster my assertion with some anecdotal evidence.

i expect that the brexit hate campaign will soon generate similar fear and loathing between brits and euros

I just saw a fake news about Barnier refusing to speak to journalists in English.
I'm interested to know about how use of English as an official language in European institutions will be affected, but that's the sort of practical issue that none of the remain/leave rabid ninnies seem to have any awareness about

i do notice a sense of relief actually on the streets here since brexit. there's a lot of sentimental video's going around of eu officials crying cos the brits are leaving but if you'd ask the people on the street i think most of them are just very glad actually.

I mean accepting that if the factories they work in close down and their local infrastructure crumbles because the only thing holding it together was EU regional grants, then saying: "Yes, this is what we wanted. We've taken back control and this is the price we were prepared to pay."
Because if the response is "We've been had!" instead - as I suspect it will be - then that blows your argument that they weren't misinformed out of the water, doesn't it?

That seems more like them accepting responsibility.
How would they be “held responsible”? To me that implies some sort of external body. Or other people.

Then if some of them get "told you so" type messages on Twitter and you're not around to dry their eyes and give them a cuddle, they may just have to "suck it up", to coin a phrase.

I can hardly blame them. Our press and our pro-Leave MEPs have been an intense embarrassment for years.
