    I have just realised that this is not the first time May has blown out something. I don't know if any of you remember but I posted some time ago that I got invited (by my Tory mates) to have dinner with May and then she was doing an after dinner speech on immigration. She was Home Secretary at the time. I really wanted to go as it had a few top Tories going but sadly I had to cough up £50 and I believe it clashed with a QPR game so I declined. Anyway at the last minute she herself blew it out. So i reckon she does have a track record of this? :1980_boogie_down:

    You said another referendum will be to everyone's disgust, meaning nobody wants one. Clearly many do, more than do not and roughly half of people polled, especially when don't knows are factored out.

    Eh yes it is, especially when don't knows are factored out. More wanted a referendum than not according to these polls.

    Why would anyone want another referendum when they all know the result of the first was completely ignored
    Maybe by the time the 17th one has been run in 2056 an agreement on the question might have been reached

    Completely ignore the 1st one then as you say, cancel Brexit, then no need for any further referendum.

    Ireland was always an issue, seems we forgot about it during negotiations. Piss poor preparation and piss poor negotiating. The EU haven't budged that much, to me that's good negotiating. Seriously, look at our government and parliment. The Tories are self destructing, Labour just sitting on the fence, we are not being bullied in the slightest, we are weak, disorganised, pathetic and embarrassing. And we reckon we could negotiate trade deals with other countries.....don't make me laugh.

    C'mon kiwi, you're better than that, could my mother, who was in hospital at the time having an operation be allowed to vote? Imagine if you transferred those principles to watching a QPR game. You didn't come to the last one, so you're not allowed to watch this one.

    If we are relying on a load of dead leavers not voting then your mum can't vote
    Was there postal voting allowed last time
    Maybe emergency operations on the day could be allowed

    Everyone over 16 should be entitled to vote, including British citizens living abroad who weren't allowed to last time.

    I think it might have been a woman actually and she was outlining all the practical and economic difficulties that would arise from leaving without a deal (something, frighteningly, that more and more people seem to think should happen). I had no idea if what she was saying was entirely right, but I put the post up on here and asked if anyone on here could refute what she had to say. No one did.

    Why the hell not when they are British and Brexit impacts their day to day lives?

    That's not very democratic and we are such a democratic country.

    Why not? I'm sure there are many British people living in EU countries, whom have been able to due to our membership of the EU. They may have to or even be planning on moving back. Why should these British people not be able to vote on the future of Britain?
