Mr Ixer'Sue, I remember a discussion about this before the referendum and it could be considered to be advisory'. Who said 'it could be considered advisory' ?If such advice seeking measures are to be considered part of our democratic process then perhaps a referendum should be held on immigration.The Brexit proposition voted on and the conclusion reached was -"Should the United Kingdom remain a member of the European Union or leave the European Union?"Pretty straight forward ?Binary in mathematical terms ?Don't try to obfuscate by showing off a veneer of mathematical reference that is irrelevant and makes no sense.The immigration one could perhaps be just as succinct -"Should firmer measures be taken to reduce immigration into the UK and remove those not entitled to remain".Remember -'The United Kingdom voted to leave the European Union, with 51.89% voting Leave and 48.11% voting Remain.The Brexit referendum was held on 23 June 2016 across the United Kingdom and Gibraltar. Out of 33,577,342 people who voted, 17,410,742 (51.89%) chose to leave the EU, while 16,141,241 (48.11%) voted to remain, giving a margin of 3.78% or 1,269,501 votes in favor of Leave (Wikipedia) The overall turnout was 72.2%, reflecting strong voter engagement (House of Commons Library) According to a poll by Ipsos MORI released on 18 May, issues identified by voters as being very important to them in deciding which way to vote were headed by the impact on Britain's economy (33%), the number of immigrants coming to Britain (28%), and Britain's ability to make its own laws (15%).Issues identified as important by voters who said they were likely to vote leave were headed by the number of immigrants coming into Britain (49%), Britain's ability to make its own laws (30%), the impact on Britain's economy (25%), the cost of EU immigration on Britain's welfare system (16%), impact on public services/housing (11%), the number of refugees coming to Britain to claim asylum (10%), Britain's ability to trade with countries in the European Union (9%), cost of EU membership fees (9%), regulations by the European Union on British businesses (8%), the impact on British jobs (7%), and Britain's status in the world (7%).Issues that had been identified as important by voters who were likely to vote remain included the impact on Britain's economy (40%), the number of immigrants coming into Britain (15%), Britain's ability to trade with countries in the European Union (12%), the impact on British jobs (11%), the impact on the rights of British workers (10%), Britain's relationship with other countries (7%), the impact on British national security (7%), the ability to travel in the European Union (7%), the ability of British citizens to live and work in other European countries (6%), and Britain's status in the world (6%). Other issues were identified by 5% of respondents or less. This collection of issues is broadly in line with the findings of other surveys published during the campaign'.When will people like you ever accept the views of the people democratically arrived at ?Your attitude to ordinary people seems to be - "Sorry, you're a bit thick unlike me and don't understand the issue. That's not the right answer so try again.And we will keep asking till you come up with the response we are looking for"
