@alexwickham No it doesn’t say that at all. It says the EU should show that agreements have to be honoured and that there is greater damage in leaving the EU than staying within it. Which is correct. The main argument being about the U.K. having to abide by what it signed up to.

We could have done away with the unelected HoL, the need for a monarch and FPTP whilst in the EU and made the UK into an actual democracy. Will we do that now? No. Brexit was not about making the UK more democratic. It was a lie.
