stop making things up

if you are saying 7.4 billion quid is irrelevant you need to reread what ever website you just looked up

It's a scream how a people's vote gets such backlash yet the snap election was brushed over

well that election is part of our democratic process and was done accordingly

re running a referendum because some people did not like to be wrong is not comparable and the fact that it would wield a similar result is the worst kind of masochism

[Twosugars]

the ref was only advisory and the result far too close to decide something that important
Farage himself said before the ref that a close defeat would not close the matter and he was right

I am sorry but that does not make sense

votes are not abandoned because they are close, its first past the post

The turnout was huge and the result was conclusive. I take it you did not make this point at the last 4 elections in the UK?

it does make sense in the context that a ref is advisory where an election is legally binding. Farage was prepared to continue the fight and push for a new ref if he lost .... he said exactly that, so why is it such a shock that the side that lost in the ref want it run again?

There is nothing to say that there is a limit on number of refs, no-one stated that the ref wouldnt happen again (only the SNP made that pledge for the indy ref)

A "saving" of 7.4 billion is irrelevant if the changes made to secure that "saving" in themselves cost more than 7.4 billion.

You're a businessman of sorts LT, I have to assume that you know the difference between a gross and net saving? I hope so anyway or the taxman is going to be very annoyed at your next audit .

Well not really, people voted to leave, but they didn’t vote for a hard or soft Brexit or no deal either, if those options were included in the first place there’s have been a different outcome all together, leavers don’t want a people’s vote now because the leave vote would be split and they know they’d lose

Has anyone on here ever met anyone who voted to leave the EU, and now wants another referendum?

No, neither have I.

[Braden]

Well, I haven't met Isabel Oakeshott but she said as such on Question Time. Ironically, Nigel Farage even warmed to a second referendum at one point.

Not saying I necessarily agree with a second referendum, but there is certainly demand from some Leave voters to have another say because what they voted for the first time isn't what they expected to happen. Not to mention those like Oakeshott and Farage who want the second referendum because they're confident Leave will win again.

[Mystic Mock]

We should go with a soft Brexit imo.

I'm honestly amazed at how 48.6% I think it was have been ignored by the Tory party and are deliberately aiming for a hard Brexit.

People don't like to admit that they made a mistake or voted in ignorance but that doesn't mean they wouldn't vote differently in a second referendum when no one can see which box they're ticking.

If you're right then there's no "risk" to leave voters in having a second vote, as the result will stay the same. Its surely that simple. The anger and incredulity about the idea of a second vote suggests, to me, that those who still want Brexit to go ahead think there IS a risk of the vote going differently.

I do know the EU has overturned some of our tariffs for criminals and given some lesser sentences which imo was wrong, so that is one reason people might want out. They have no right dictating how much time our criminals serve.

[LeatherTrumpet]

Trump thinks that Boris and Nigel will join forces

[bitontheslide]

i don't think anyone would be overly fussed if the EU had remained a common market, the body that we actually joined. The problem is that the EU morphed in to a political organisation insisting on ever tighter integration of member countries. Return it to a common market and ask the people again

The only thing the Brexit Party is fighting for is to keep Nigel Farage 'relevant'. His big attempt at becoming a US political pundit failed, living in Trump's arsehole failed and now he's back here rinsing gullible people for their coins.
