The point of a hypothetical is to open up abstract debate. Not really important that you personally don't see the point.

The original question, just to add, was what would you say if there was significant and irrefutable evidence that the vast majority of people had changed their opinion... Not the "loudest".

I'm also not saying that that has or is likely to happen.

The result is clear as to the overall vote, no doubt about that,although even Boris Johnson is now saying it is not an overwhelming result.

What is a fact also and which should not just be discounted by some with a more negative attitude towards other citizens across in the UK, is the fact that 2 of the 4 UK Nations wanted to remain in the EU, and by a good bit stronger majority than the 2 that voted to leave.

England in the main,can dismiss and ignore those votes if it wishes but it should not end up complaining and regretting, should it end up not even having a United Kingdom at the end of such arrogance.

You know that's right the vote maybe should have been counted based on the representative electorate in each country within the UK?

Apparently Nicola asked for the results to be treated separately by country as the referendum was being formulated and Dave told her not to be stupid

She wanted a majority of 60 per cent I bet he wished he listened

I am sure he does too.

After all we have heard a lot about no democracy in the EU, yet when it comes down to the issue of a new Nation joining the EU, all the member Nations have to support it.
Malta with a tiny population has the same status as a member, as to that issue, as the big guns, Germany ad France, despite their populations being massively larger it is still one vote for all.
ALL 'have' to agree.


Yet here in the UK we call democracy where 2 UK supposed equal Nations who voted to remain and with the bigger percentage of population voting majorities, have their votes and status dismissed by the 2 who voted to leave with much smaller percentage of population voting majorities.

I know which one I prefer to see.
All the Nations of the UK should have had to agree to this exit from the EU, not just 2 of them.
