Some People were trying to get a second vote and may still attempt to do this out of sheer desperation which is why I put isn't/was in case you were one of those.

And yes clearly immigration has had a considerable effect on various issues currently faced in Britain and on the Brexit vote. All the denial in the world will not change that.

I doubt she cares about a second term since it's not likely that anyone could tackle Brexit and reach a deal that satisfies enough people to stay in office. There's a reason why Downing Street was considered a poisoned chalice after Cameron left. As Brexit proved, people are ultimately controlled through their fears so their 'faith' is pointless, just mention a few buzzwords about immigrants and you'll have them back onside again so I doubt any of the realists in the government care about upsetting anyone like that.

No, I believe people should live and (hopefully) learn from their mistakes. A second referendum is dumb. The bed has been made and now people have to lie in it.

Immigration was a key motivation for people voting Brexit but that won't translate into action. Immigration won't be majorly affected even if we don't stay in the Single Market, never mind if we do.
