Nope , I don ' t claim independent truth and where I can objective truth is my happy placeYou have said yourself , many people voted for different reasons , I understand and accept that . I may disagree but I understand . You however don ' t seem to understand that the methods and ' values ' that I do find abhorant as would anyone with any sense were the reason that some voted for leaving the EU . Further , I ' m albeit without concrete evidence sufficiently confident to say that was more than the swing of 2 % that voted with such things in mind . Thus it makes no difference to the reasons of others , legitimacy drops to the lowest common denominator which in this case was the worst of our country and its values . This is why you will never accept my viewpoint and I will never accept yours , Brexit won on the shoulders of the worst of us . I prefer a country where we follow the best of us . If the campaign to leave the EU had been one where there was a clear unambiguous benefit to the nation that we could all be behind I may well have swung . Instead it came from the gutter , and it discusted me and many others , this was not the fault of the remain campaign , this was the moral level of those who led the campaign to leave and I will never consider it legitimate . We are better than that .
