Bless you , child . This very badly needs more upvotes . <| sep |> Their will be an almighty whaling and nashing of teeth that will be completely overshadowed by the cheering of rational minds <| sep |> They arent overruling anything , the vote wasn ' t binding , what I assume should happen is that they should work into a consensus that works , mostly for both parties . 50 % vote is allright for , say , yearly budget and what not , but you are about to totally change the way your country operates and are going to make changes that are going to affect people in the long term , maybe for the rest of their lifetimes wether if it is for the good or for the bad . Furthermore , representatives are elected democratically aswell , for as many downfalls the UK system has , anyways , so it ' d be a democratic vote against another , which one invalidates which ?
