Brexit

[Stolly]

I don't think here will be civil unrest or anything like that... but a referendum billed as a 'once in a lifetime' chance to decide our future in the EU, seems incomprehensible that it could be overturned 3 years later. Then what happens.... best out of three...???

This best of three standard answer is balderdash in the circumstances but you’ve highlighted the problem with referendums full stop. They give an indication of views at one point in time but aren’t then called and checked regularly (unlike voting for MPs). It’s often quoted nowadays but Germany voted by referendum to end parliamentary democracy and appont Hitler as a dictator in 1933. Not the best of decisions.

More to the point all polls now point to remain being the will of the people as to a certain extent does the march at the weekend and the petition. No political party should really want to force through something voted for almost 3 years ago that no longer applies. That’s a guaranteed vote loser.

As for a no deal vs remain referendum MR, I’d be well happy to vote in that
