So Macron will probably win due to older voters? LOL. Still, I guess those of us who want a Le Pen vote have more class than to wish for the speedy demise of elderly people unlike some people I can mention.

Absolutely laughable coming from you.

A man who wanted to overturn a democratic referendum because he didn't like the result.

Total rubbish.

All I ever wanted was for our Parliamentary democracy to work the way it is intended to work. I was against a referendum in the first place, as the issues were too complex to be left to the winds of chance implicit in a political campaign, especially one which was tainted by foreign interference and blatant lies.

Parliament, having given the result of that referendum legitimacy, then had the opportunity to double-check whether the mood of the country remained the same, after so much time had passed and the understanding of the issues had improved. They bottled it, through a lack of leadership by the opposition and a level of fear in the "Brexit at any costs" mob. The latter approving of referendums when the result went their way, but against them when there was a chance they might not. They're not democrats at all. They are all political opportunists, like Johnson. Interested only in what they perceive as their best interests, and not that of the country as a whole. They sold the country down the river with scumbag tactics and catchy slogans straight from the world of soap powder ads. Which is no way to run a country.

Then why not "double check" the election results? It's the same people voting.

Totally different circumstances. Elections are checked, every 5 years. Membership of the EU was last checked 40 years previously. When the vote was held in 2016 the difficulties in securing a "deal" were unknown to everyone. The Leave campaign had promised it could be done in a matter of days, with the EU desperate to make sure the UK market was secure for them. 4 years later, we knew better about that, and also about many aspects of us withdrawing. We needed to confirm given all we now knew. If you set off on a journey not knowing what lay around the first corner, but were promised a smooth road and sunshine, only to find lots of bumps and rain, would you not want to be asked if you wanted to continue, or choose another route?
