2Nd Referendum

[bainbrig]

Brexit. The ONLY answer. A second referendum with a two-thirds majority.

Is there a statesman or woman capable of putting this into practise?

[Hopkirk]

Ichkeria, what would be the alternative to the deal?

[Hopkirk]

If you give a choice of three (deal, no deal, remain) it unfairly splits the leave vote.

[jim360]

It depends on how you structure the vote, though. If you insist that the winning option needs at least 50% -- or some other threshold -- then the Leave vote only need be split at the first stage.

Or you could have a series of separate two-option votes.

[Hopkirk]

Sounds a bit complicated and potentially confusing for many.

[jim360]

Whereas Brexit is simple? :O

Well it is to me,the leave voters won the majority in the 2016 referendum so we leave.

[jim360]

If only it had been so simple.

Disingenuous to a fault. Simple is not what you wanted.

[jim360]

I didn't want it to go the way it has. I don't think I expected it to be simple -- almost by definition, it was never going to be.

But don't pretend that I *wanted* it to be complicated. That would be...
well, no doubt you'll be able to finish that sentence off.

[naomi24]

I never pretend.

There are many Remainers who are not bright enough to see that In or Out is a binary decision which doesn't allow compromise (which is why we had the referendum in the first place), and are now talking about dea. This group has reinterpreted the decision to leave as a request to leave.

And there other Remainers who understand the binary nature of the decision perfectly well. As did all the Eurocrats at the time if you'd watched part one of the ten years of turmoil documentary. These Remainers, however, are used to seeing the progressive globalist agenda (of which federal Europe and the abolition of the nation state is part) advance unhindered despite any popular objection (not that this is usually sought, say as in the political decision to repopulate Cockney London with immigrants).

They are miffed, frustrated and surprised that at last (and for the first time in the case of the younger ones) a majority of their fellow citizens have decided not to indulge their whims. They can't be having that, can they? So they are using all means to prevent Brexit and put the brutish majority who voted for it back in their place.

Oh, back to the OP. The 2nd referendum is just such another tactic

[tonyav]

[jim360]

Not very well put at all, ve.

[EDDIE51]

The ENTIRE point of and the reason behind a Referendum is that it is a ONE OFF !!
You don't keep on having them until you get the result you want!
