As I’ve repeatedly said, Brexit is a decision I **respect**. That does not mean _like_. The UK has made a democratic decision to leave. So leave we shall. And you’re right, I am damning them, but I’m damning Remain even more. Look, let me give an example closer to my home: up until 2015 we had an excellent MP, [Dame Anne Begg](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anne_Begg), and I voted for her in 2015. She was defeated in the 2015 election by the SNP candidate. I didn’t rant and rave and demand a new election. Instead I wrote to Dame Anne thanking her for having been my MP and asking her to stand the next time around. And I got a very nice letter back in which she declined. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/brexit-general-discussion-thread/824424)._
