Let's face it, Brexit is something with consequences stretching for DECADES

One very tiny majority vote is not enough to settle it.

So a majority isn't good enough anymore?

Pray tell at what percentage is democracy allowed nowadays?

A majority based on lies and with no clear cut way out

If you and your friends vote to go to a restaurant without knowing what the food is like, do you still go 3 days later knowing they serve dog **** because a majority vote won?

Of course not.

Well what a sh*t analogy.

You make a new decision everytime you go to eat out at a restaurant and it's your freedom to decide where you want to go each time.

Brexit is not a "Change your mind when the wind changes" decision.

I'd imagine the bigger the issue the higher the majority.
If there's a second ref I'd hope they set a minimum majority like 55%

The thing is there was too much lies and the slimmer the majority the more "volatile" the result. That's why it should be repeated.

The first ref wasn't legally binding but advisory so we should have another one

As I've already said you can't have nearly half the country being forced into a hard Brexit when they didn't even want a soft Brexit.

The UK isn't a democracy if Hard Brexit is the outcome when the people didn't even vote for it.

People voted on it based on lies people regret their votes because of lies that were told by leave, what part of that aren’t you getting through your skull?

Why shouldn’t people be allowed to change their mind after realizing they were lied to?

You realize you can leave the EU but still remain in the customs union and the single market?

The first banknote came from China. The first bank to use paper money regularly was Bank of England.

Am I using the wrong google?
