Yes I would vote as its a vote hard fought for and a privilege which should not be ignored. What's the point of criticising what's going on in the country then not voting? I would vote again and I would change my vote to remain unless there was a choice of leave with no deal and I would vote for that.. The 2016 vote was done purely on conjecture ,what was going to happen...

All these remainors that say we didnt know what we were voting for, why did you vote then ?..I dont recall mass demos at the time saying "we dont know, we dont have blah blah blah"....and the reason was because you thought you would hands down win....

But you lost and we all know how that went...the biggest display on throwing toys out of a pram ever seen, the stamping of your childish democray hating feet could be heard all over the place...bwah bwah bwah..

Do you always make decisions when you dont have what you consider to be enough information....

The publics job was to vote to leave or stay...its the civil servants politicians et al to do the work to get us out, thats what they get paid for, but we have seen how much most of them abhor demoracy when it doesnt go the way they want...

You can try and blame whoever you want for this "mess" but its firmly at the feet of remainors who wouldnt accept a democratic vote, politicians wouldnt have dared trying to defy the referendum vote if it wasnt for all you democracy cherry pickers...

but you keep on blaming everybody else for not being as "intelligent as you" and not knowing what they were voting for...pffft , just look at the "intelligence " of a few on here, the fact they are even allowed to vote says it all, luckily for them IQ tests arent a pre-requisite for voting on important matters
A Politician said on the radio that there should be another referendum with the two choices accept the deal or remain in the EU.
The cheek of him the British public have already voted to come out, so that shouldn't be on the voting paper, it should however be accept the deal or come out without a deal, end of
No! We’ve already had one and both Labour and Lib Dems day they won’t take any notice of it anyway!
On the Ballot:
// Remain in the EU
Leave the EU with the 'Boris' Deal
Leave without a deal. //

A sure way to split the Leave vote. Certain result - Remain.
And, no, I wouldn't back a second referendum. I wouldn't even back a People's Vote. The people have voted.
Great post Loony!
Naomi. You are right.
No.

But if it was:

Do you want to a) accept Boris' draft agreement as the deal, on the 31 Oct 2019, or, b) exit no deal, on the 31 Oct 2019, then I could bear it; but they'd need to get a move on.
//The people have voted.//

No, naomi... the plebs voted, wrongly, with no idea what they were voting for. Allegedly. X
No, I don't back a second referendum.

Just reading the debates about (Remain, Deal, No-deal) versus (Remain, No-deal) referendum options makes me wince.

The country is split. The only solution that re-unites the country is Deal. We don't need a vote on it.

Deal is a stepping stone, not a destination. What it's a stepping stone towards, who knows? But it gets us out of the EU and moving towards some other future.

I would have thought that most adults would have had the brains to consider all the implications of coming out of the EU before they put pen to paper.
I know that I did and that is why I voted to come out.
Another referendum is the best chance remainers have of achieving their aims. They could win by splitting the leave vote - those who dislike Boris's deal having no clear alternative with 'no deal' being off the table (and Remain won't give the people any say on that possibility). They could win simply by enough people abstaining. And who would trust this Parliament, the Courts, the whole rotten system to run an honest poll in any case?

Call an election if you really want the people to have a say. Our political class's leave/remain positions are evident now that the con artists have had to expose their true intentions - politics is now polarised and that's as near to another 'yes'/'no' situation as we can get. Not that I think we'll get an honest poll then, either - but we should get a good enough turnout to offset that.
It ought to be born in mind that the current deal is not the same as the previous one: the previous one tied the UK including N Ireland to the customs union and single market until a trade deal was signed, with a fallback keeping the country largely inside those as the default.
Now we still await trade negotiations but the default position is GB is not going to be subject to any of that post 2020. While NI will be.
The good thing about it is we don’t crash out now but the danger is we WILL crash out in a years time unless a miracle happens and a trade deal with the EU is signed by then. And N Ireland will be left behind: economically arguably with the best of both worlds but in reality probably drawn ever closer into the orbit of the ROI and EU. What with Scotland pushing for is other referendum and viewing the current deal as even more economically disastrous then the previous one, there is potential for the splitting up of the UK.
And Loyalist paramilitaries are meeting to discuss the situation, which sounds a little worrying to me.
Facing all this it seems only fair Parliament should demand more time to debate this at the very least.
Northern Ireland or Scotland or Wales could split the Union at any time with a simple referendum vote to that effect - Scotland has already had a shot at it. The old 'we cannot split the Union...' line is nonsense.
Why don't they have a phone in vote like they do on X Factor?
No a referendum cannot be held “at any time” in Scotland, Wales or N Ireland (thank goodness) but Brexit would appear to make it more likely that one might be called if it looked like if there was sufficient support for a change. In N Ireland and Scotland anyway.
// In theory we should not revote but we did not know what we were voting for in the first one, that’s the argument for a second vote . ///

Well would we know what we were voting for in a second one. Remain have pretty scnt with the truth on where the EU is going s until we know that a second referendum is pointless.
I dont think we need one but if the thrice damned remainers want one I`ll be there at opening time on the polling station and offering all my neighbours / friends a lift to the station.
I agree with OG. WE have had one to leave so we need to leave so the only one we can have is leave with Boris' deal or out wiyh no deal.
...'at any time in the future,' then. Something we can't predict, and certainly something we shouldn't tie ourselves in knots for.
