SP:
NJ is correct. The figure of 0.5% may be technically correct within specific defined parameters but it in no way reflects the true influence of EU imposed law on the UK population.
Also, with regards to your quote, “[Am I correct in saying that you don't think that people should have the right to vote on their own country's membership of the EU because they might vote “No”?] No - I'm saying that people might vote 'No' based on little more than what certain sections of the press tell them.”
I notice that you ignored the remainder of my question which was, “If a nation such as Ireland voted, “Yes” (eventually...) do you accept that that is the will of the people?”.
Put even more simply, would you reject a “No” vote but accept a “Yes” vote?
