Originally posted by Spiderman Not quite sure of the logic here, surely the democratic will of the people was to leave and it was always going to take 2 years. With regard to any objection to a referendum, I assume you mean a 2nd one...the objection being the 1st one showed the democratic will of the people was to leave, My point was if the result of the referendum is not carried out, that is undemocratic. But to resist a second referendum because you fear the outcome is equally undemocratic - this is the part I am struggling with.

Originally posted by becky I think people are still aware of it given that after 5 years (2020), all the immigrants to Europe, especially the large numbers to Germany, will be eligible for EU passports and then have free movement across the nations..... we will leave in 2019. Edited by becky (27 Jul 2018 1.07pm) That was Nigel Farage's point; the one he re-emphasised with that poster. It was a more honest tactic than the one about Turkey which was absolutely bogus. However, not by that much. Why would anyone leave a prosperous and powerful country like Germany where they have taken 5 years to acclimatise, get jobs, have their kids settled in schools etc. to come to another less well-off country? Of the 1 million, how many in % terms do you think would go through another upheaval? I am guessing some - probably those with strong family connections where they will be able to settle quickly. But not enough to make any material difference to our lives. The vast majority of EU citizens coming here are far more likely to be French bankers, Danish pharmaceutical engineers, Czech plumbers or Romanian fruit pickers. However, the sort of immigrants who get posters on here frothing at the mouth will be arriving directly from non-EU countries. That flow will not be remotely stemmed by us leaving the EU.

Indeed. And he cites the example of joining a trade bloc that then transforms into a federal state. It cannot possibly be argued that the terms and basis upon which we remained in the EC bear any resemblance to the EU as it is now. It is therefore entirely legitimate to ask: "are you still OK with this relationship, given how much it's changed?". Can we really say the same of what has changed in the 2 years since we voted to leave? "Oh, it's really quite annoying and difficult to negotiate with these intransigent EU ideologues" is not one such change. Nor is "..but Leave cheated and overspent and the RUSSIANS!!" What has changed in our (or other EU27 "members" contractual rights and obligations under the EU in the past 2 years? Apart from more ratcheting of power away from parliaments, and development of the "dangerous fantasy" EU army, not a lot has changed. Those clamoring for a new referendum to undo the one they don't like are about 40 years premature.
