Did we have to sit a test before we voted? How on earth do you think you know what we all knew or did not? Your stance is perhaps the most arrogant I have ever come across. Or are you psychic? A crystal ball? Tarot cards? Reading the tea leaves? Democracy does not involve, in any way, shape or form, those who lose deciding on behalf of those whose votes were in the majority that they did not know what they were voting for and that because of that, you get a chance to vote again for your prefered option. And us Leavers are meant to be the deluded ones? LOL. As a genuine question, why would a second referendum with Remain as an option be considered the definitive one? Why should I, who voted in utter good faith on June 23rd 2016, think that this time it really really really does count? Will you promise not to have your fingers crossed this time? Will you really really really accept the result this time even if you don't like the outcome? Because I have eyes, ears and a brain? I know very well what a huge percentage of brexit voters were voting for. They were voting to have less bloody foreigners on our streets taking our women and jobs. You call for honesty, then be honest yourself. Sovereignty was secondary to xenophobia in the 2016 vote. Tell me all you want that this isnt correct, and I will never believe you. You are just listing all the stock responses from a brexiteer about a people's vote. Yes the second vote would be 100% respected, implemented, and delivered because it would be DELIVERABLE. The 2016 vote was not deliverable, if you have seen anything in the last 3 years, you have seen that. The whole idea of a second vote is to tie the vote responses to deliverable pathways of implementation. "Leave the EU" is not such a pathway, as there are massive differences between the different ways in which you can leave the EU.
Trump lost. Badly. Hahahahahahaha. |

Among the hundreds of things I do not understand about this whole farce, is that What would a general election acheive? is it's BJ's Attempt to get a majority in Parliament? coz If so, then as half his own party don;t agree with the whole no deal thing, then, ,that aint gonna help? If a Election happens, I'm left with the unenviable choice of 1) voting Tory, which I'm not sure i want to do, 2) voting Labour, which I definately don't want as that little t*rd corbyn will be in charge, or 3) Vote for 'Remain' to the Lib Dems - which will most likely mean diddly Squit in the whole grand scheme of things, and will probaly result in that little t*rd Corbyn being in charge.

He could possibly deselect those voting to stop No deal, which would be his way of quietening those voices. Boris is likely banking on the fact that he has a clearer message than May, and at present at least consequently is more popular than she is. Corbyn is on 17% popularity, which is astonishingly low. Parliament is in grid lock and so another election may well be the roll of a dice that gets things moving in one direction or another. In my view the Conservatives definitely stand a decent chance of a majority with a GE at this time. The Brexit Party vote will fall away, and the remain vote will be split between Labour and Lib Dem. A majority would give Boris more of a mandate and would be a further opportunity for the country to make a clear decision about the direction of the country one way or another. I'm of course also aware that if could result in ANOTHER hung parliament though. That result isn't beyond the realms of possibility either because so much is in flux and this is charted territory.

Don't confuse boredom at arguing with the likes of yourself to any change of mind as in my own case I've got better things to do with my life than arguing with you No confusion. I am simply observing and commenting. No-one is obliged to answer. Off topic but those who feel that the Mueller report has cleared Trump just need to be patient. The House knows that impeachment would fail in the Senate so are concentrating on 2020 knowing that waht Mueller revealed will have a significant impact. If,as I expect, Trump is defeated and he becomes a private citizen again, then we can expect the real action to begin because his DoJ shield will be removed. At least Johnson doesn't have this kind of suspicion hanging over him.
For the avoidance of doubt any comments in response to a previous post are directed to its ideas and not at any, or all, posters personally. |

To me, you miss the main point. The people that voted in the second referendum are not the same people that would vote in a third. There are 2 million young people to add in - largely likely to vote Remain - and 1.5m to take out - largely likely to have voted Leave. A total of 82% of 18 to 24-year-olds with a voting preference say they would vote Remain in a third referendum. In contrast, two-thirds of those aged 65 and over would back Leave, while only one-third would favour Remain. As a reminder, most people over 65 are now retired. We are being sleep walked into a decision that is no longer valid. If ever it was the will of the people (many people used it as a protest vote for a variety of reasons) it almost certainly isn't now.
