    You can't ask for a second vote before you've implemented the first. It's that, that is undemocratic.The forthcoming GE, which I assume will happen in November, will be a Brexit referendum. If Remain is that strong, we'll have a Lib Dem government, or perhaps coalition with Labour. But I doubt it personally

    Tell them (and yourself) to watch the video Stroller just put up. And not only Ireland, you don't have to look back so long in our European history to see how it was in England, the UK, about all of Europe, and most of the Globe from Europe's wars before the EU. Leavers "boiling with anger" about what was it now, holy f****** bananas being too big for their spotty, red face Mrsses, or Brussels expense claims being at Westminster level. Chr*** on a bike.

    Of course you can. It’s a myth cooked up by simple Leavers that you can’t.

    Yes you can. The basis and manner in which the first one was done had zilch to do with democracy.

    The next time the government you vote for is elected, let's delay their opportunity to go into office for three years and then have a confirmatory election.

    Again? Fine.

    The General Election system, for all its flaws and over-simplicity due to its age, has come about through centuries of law and reform. Referendums are fundamentally undemocratic because both sides, particularly the one arguing against the status quo, aren’t accountable for anything they promise. Cameron rushed this through to save his party under pressure from his own right wing and in doing so it was a painfully vague question, opening up “Leave” to be manipulated into various types of Leave depending on what people wanted to hear.

    The only way it could have been legitimate was by agreeing a deal beforehand and putting that to a vote versus Remain. Then we could’ve avoided the last three years’ **** show which has again just been an exercise is keeping the Tories alive.

    If you talk about accountability and parties taking responsibility, you'll be delighted by the forthcoming GE, because the Tories are taking a clear Leave position, and Labour and the Lib Dems are taking a Remain position.

    The Tories will be held to their promises.

    It's a typical bad losers argument, when a referendum has been run and lost, notwithstanding it was the largest democratic turn out in UK history, to say it was all unfair in the first place. Labour bought into the referendum.

    And the fact is, despite all the **** that's been thrown by Remoaners at the result in the last 3 years, there's no evidence whatsoever that people have changed their minds.

    There’s plenty of evidence the result was illegally obtained though but that’s not a problem.
