Pretty sure we vote for politicians to act on our behalf in this country. If you were in China you'd probably be hanging by your balls by now for being so critical of the government.

Then you will have no problem with telling us how exactly the EU has affected you negatively.

It would be really helpful if even one leaver could give an example where the EU has affected them negatively.

Something specific, not soundbites.

If you disagree, fine, but we live in a democracy and this is how it works. There are 195 countries in the world, each running their own political system. If you really don't like this one, leave.

And there were 28 countries in the EU political system. I didn’t like it. I chose for the UK to leave and we will be leaving on October 31st.

If we don't leave, what will you do?
 
Work through my stockpile while watching everybody else panic, and be grateful I work in an industry that should not be negatively affected by Brexit.

You say that as if there was a logical connection.

Do you mean you think 28 is an unlucky number?

They’re supposed to abide by and carry out the decision.

Not if it is a non-binding referendum. When non-binding, the politician's job is to consider it and do what is best for the country.
