It goes beyond that, although you're correct. As Cotty said, we live in a 
representative democracy. We vote for these people to represent our views, so 
for them to call a referendum is an abdication of responsibility - it's their 
job to make decisions, and to make them in the best interests of _all_ their 
constituents, not just the ones who voted for them. This is why it is never a 
wasted vote, even if your preferred candidate doesn't stand a chance of winning 
- your voice should be heard.

Well, if you can bear it take a look at the Brexit-related comments on some of 
the BBC forums - I'm sure weather forums are not like that. The whole thing is 
a collective descent into madness. There is no reasoned discussion, and the 
reason the Leave won and Remain lost is that Leave played on the emotional 
aspects of it all, while Leave tried to play to reason. But it is not an issue 
where reason really matters for most people - I for one am pro-Europe by 
emotion at least as much as I am by reason. What it means is that the arguments 
are simply playground mud-slinging and very tiresome once you're past the 
initial entertainment of it all.

The problem is, if there's another referendum and Remain wins, the Leave camp 
will never shut up, they will beaver away obsessively just as they did after 
the 1974 referendum, with their lies and prejudices and bigotry. If Leave win I 
suspect Remain will accept that the war is over and the bad guys won. I did 
march in favour of another referendum a couple of weeks ago, with 700,000 
others - I don't think we'll get one, but I think it's important to make our 
voice heard because there is a real slide towards tyranny of the majority, and 
the notion of winner takes all, even though the Leave majority was less than 
4%. It's a very worrying slide.

The other thing is that if we do indeed leave it will be the leave voters who 
suffer from the economic consequences, not the leaders of the Leave movement, 
who are feathering their own nests and intend to strip the workers of their 
rights as soon as they get the chance, or the middle-class oldies like me. They 
are robber barons of the worst sort, lying, conniving little shits who've used 
people to further their own interests. I'm a mild-mannered sort of chap, but 
I'd to see the whole fucking lot of them hanging from lampposts in Parliament 
Square. In the name of tolerance and democracy.

Generally speaking we have mild, wet winters and mild, wet summers!

Haha, that said, as an island, we are heavily influenced by the Atlantic Ocean. 
We have a warm water flow up from the Caribbean called the 'Atlantic Conveyor' 
that means the water that reaches our western shores is not cold. This 
generally keeps temps up. The northern jet stream borders the UK usually, with 
cold Arctic air to the north of it and milder air to the south. A series of 
Atlantic low pressure systems generally follows the jet stream and means we can 
get mild and wet south-westerlies alternating with cold northerlies.

Sometimes the jet stream goes a bit north and we get the mild air for a while. 
When the jet is south of us, we're all sitting in front of the fire :-)

Sometimes a big blocking high pressure develops over Scandinavia and keeps all 
the lows at bay - at a cost: the wind swings in from the east and we are 
blasted with Putin's best ice cold air. But that will move after a week or two 
and we're back to westerlies again.

That's why we don't actually have a climate in the UK - we just have weather :-)

I could go on

Haha. Yep we're all just stopping in our tracks and imploding on the sidewalks. 
The mess is bearable as long as you've got surgical gowns on.

Everyone is just going about their daily business and nothing has changed. The 
future will prove interesting for us - there will doubtless be a general 
election  announced in the coming days - Theresa May will not be able to get 
her Brexit bill through parliament, kicking off no-confidence vote, and leading 
to the inevitable. What happens then is anyone's guess.

We're British - we're more interested in the weather.
