Wow that's pretty awful. RIP. Also RIP the decency of the Liberal Democrats most likely.

So if Tony was a member of the Wisconsin legislature in 2007, he would've voted to instate the death penalty? LOL.

So Tony, if you were a member of the Wisconsin legislature in 2007, would you fight to instate the death penalty? If you were an official in California's government around 2012 or so, would you fight against legalizing gay marriage?

...seriously?

The analogies fit. Wisconsin voted to reinstate the death penalty in 2006. California voted to ban gay marriage via Prop 8.

No they don't. There is a myriad of differences between those referendums and the Brexit vote and I really don't think it's worth listing them all, but one of the most obvious one is that it was organized through the PM's initiative and the consent of the Parliament.

A PM of the opposing party.

I mean Tony's argument might make an ounce of sense for members of the PM who allowed the referendum's party but sure not for opposition. Especially if it's someone who opposed allowing the vote in the first place.
