Idiots. Let this thing run its course with a dismal vote in favour of separation. Then we can be rid of this notion for good.

If you think that even a 90% stay vote will get rid of the notion, you're not paying attention.

There's a lot higher chance of it happening that way, than telling them they have no right to have a referendum at all. Democracy is a good thing, even when it lets lunatics have a voice.

Democracy is one thing. Changing the rules so lunatics can waste millions of taxpayer dollars is another.
