@flankspeed If Swinson had gotten power, she would have denied the democratic vote. That's fascist.

@peterbarnard631 Swinson proved to be domineering and intolerant of others; she was in favour of overturning the vote in order to satisfy her desires. That's the root of fascism. If Corbyn had won, the whole nation would have had to live under his rule. I'm part of that nation.

@imedi There is no requirement to take power by force to qualify as fascist. She was domineering and intolerant of the leavers' viewpoint. That's how fascism bases its claim.

@peterbarnard631 Oh I see 'a vote for us 16.2 million...' That's how democracy works is it? Select the sector of the electorate likely to return the decision you want? Nice.

@peterbarnard631 This was the deal: we were asked as a nation, do you want to leave the EU or stay in the EU. We chose to leave. There's the deal; I had a say in it. In doing so, I took away nothing.

@peterbarnard631 As a common citizen, I would not have 'adopted' policy, I would have watched from the sidelines and waited for the next election to try once again. Fascists disregard such observance. They have their view and that will be imposed by whatever means...my friend.

@flankspeed The crucial point is that the result of the 2016 referendum has not been invoked. Were Swinson to rule that invocation out that would have denied that majority vote. Therefore democracy flouted, denied. Were she to take charge of a nation already out of the EU, then her moves to re-join would be entirely in order. No contradiction whatsoever.
