Most Leave voters across all three countries think violence towards MPs is a ‘price worth paying’ for Brexit - 71% in England, 60% in Scotland and 70% in Wales. Shows what sort of a place we are in. I find that unbelievable. Do you have a link to the article

Because some of the biggest boneheads in the HoC are there because of who they are rather than what they represent. With the biggest of them all being the current PM?

Quote Key findings from the 2019 Future of England Survey, conducted by YouGov, show:
•Most Leave voters across all three countries think violence towards MPs is a ‘price worth paying’ for Brexit - 71% in England, 60% in Scotland and 70% in Wales. The majority of Remain voters across all three countries think violence towards MPs is a ‘price worth paying’ to Remain - 58% in England, 53% in Scotland and 56% in Wales. •A majority of Remain voters across all three countries think protests in which members of the public are badly injured are a ‘price worth paying’ to stop Brexit and remain in the EU - 57% in England, 56% in Scotland and 57% in Wales. Even larger majorities of Leave voters in all three countries think protests in which members of the public are badly injured are a ‘price worth paying’ to achieve Brexit - 69% in England, 62% in Scotland and 70% in Wales. I see that you omitted to mention that a majority of Remain voters also thought the same way. Where did they carry out their surveys? Detention centres and prisons perhaps Is that the same survey as the one about a month ago that said people would prefer the union break up than stop Brexit over a range of demographics?

Do you really think a second vote will win for remain? Go back to the first two posts on this thread. There have not been 200,000 job losses, house prices have slowed. Wages are up. Plus Germany are in recession, the EU are in denial, the only thing keeping them together is brexit and they have done nothing since the referendum to make reform or make people want to stay. That isn't the point. A second referendum will solve nothing anyway.

It won't stop people believing that to either leave or remain in the EU is best for us. What it would solve is knowing how many people still want to leave now we have had 3 years of experience of just how complex and difficult it is to untangle a Union. Knowing that might enable a compromise solution which sees us leaving, but in a way that everyone can live with. Make it strictly advisory, a consultation only, with it clearly understood that Parliament will take the final decision about how to interpret the information. As this Union has lasted just 40 years imagine the problems if Scotland ever did decide to separate.

A new referendum must be binding upon the government and parliament with legal and prompt implementation.
