The EU is far more democratic than the UK, as are many other countries.

The UK has been sliding down the democratic ladder for years, and climbing the corruption league at the same time.

On the point that it is "done", of course: but Remoaners remain entitled to say we told you so. Surely policy is based on cures for things that are wrong. Standard checks and balances require free speech to ensure this happens.

On the separate point that staying in is "insanity", given there has so far been nothing to support the arguments that leaving has caused any real improvements - in fact, quite the reverse - I am struggling to understand the absence of sanity.

If you are saying that another referendum is "insane" then that is another question entirely. It is a thought that Brexiteers shudder to contemplate given the shift of demographics since the referendum, the distance from the migration crisis of 2015, the current geo-politics where being inside the tent suddenly has a distinct attraction, the broken promises/lies on NHS dividends etc., the fact that many leading "Brexiteers" (and I include our dear PM) have been found out as insincere and just using it as a vehicle for their own promotion, and the fact that the pond life who crept from their anoxic existence in 2016 to vote leave in order to "kick out the Muslims" etc. will probably stay at home... as they tend to at any other election.

As I have said elsewhere, there are many who continue to hold the view on sensible grounds that Brexit will eventually work and I hope they are right. However, once you take out the rubbish bedfellows who only just got you over the line, I am pretty sure you will be left with a far smaller (losing) chunk of people willing to cast that vote again.

Thus, YouGov poll end Jan this year. In the two years since the UK left the European Union, to what extent, if at all, do you think the UK has benefitted?

A great deal 7%
Somewhat 17%
Not very much 28%
Not at all 37%

Under Theresa May there was a majority parliament not reflecting the will of he people.

Now, there is precisely the same save the other way round.

So where is the insanity?

A majority government of 80 seats elected by only 36% of its voters.

Unelected institutions enable its laws.

The House of Lords.

The Monarchy.

Its rigged by fiddling electoral boundaries its where you vote from not an actual majority, over 10 years this is a real game-changer.

And proposals to dis-enfranchise voters who are less likely to vote tory are on the way.

The UK smells tbh.

That's the UK for you.

2016 - Referendum vote. Leave won.
2017 - General Election. The top two parties who polled over 80% of the votes - Both promising to honour Brexit result.
2019 - European Elections. UKIP are the top UK party and within the EU parliament are joint top of having the most MEP's.
2019 - General Election - Tories win an 80 seat majority on a central promise of 'Get Brexit Done'.

How many more votes do you want? 4 decisive elections in 3 years all delivered wins for the Leave side.

If a major political party wants to make a manifesto promise to take us back into the EU if it wins, then let it make it.

If a major political party or movement wants to campaign for another referendum on rejoining then let them do so.

But the decision of 2016 has been confirmed via 3 separate electrical processes. There has to be a line in the sand over this, at least for the next couple of decades. To revisit it over and over does nothing other than cause even more division than we have at the moment.

Isn’t that your beloved EU as well?
