It seems obvious to me that rather than “caving in”, you (not you personally) accept the result and try to help make it work rather than try to protect the voters by going against their wishes.

Can you not see that perhaps, just perhaps, you may have got it wrong all along and not once looked at the views of the other side to understand how things were being seen by them. Every frustration caused by remainers was hardening attitudes and I believe people were seeing such jubilation...

I think it was the remainers who have handed him the mandate, but they still don’t understand how.

Democratic!!!! Nice one! Brilliant!

Once we leave, I hope any referendum to try to go back in will need 75% vote, otherwise they will try every other year!

Who said it was exactly the same?

A bit like remainers cheering the stopping of the result of the referendum being enacted, like something the leaders of third world countries would try to do. I said earlier in this thread that if a Tory government gets in with a large majority, they may pass measures like this.

Why would they need to do that if Brexit isn't as important as you suggest?

But I still don't understand why they wouldn't campaign to Remain now, or why they took their Leave stance in 2017

If most Labour supporters are anti-Brexit and most Labour MPs (former MPs) are anti- Brexit, why do you think their neutral stance is correct?

Granted, they were. Do you think that it has nothing to do with their stance on Brexit though?

Nothing to do with Brexit then?

What has changed since then to make labour so far behind. Surely they should be ahead as they have now abandoned the idea of leaving the EU and I assume you think that the reason it was so close last time wasn’t to do with their Brexit stance.

What do you mean? Do you disagree?

The 2017 manifesto was very popular with the public because it promised to leave the European Union by “accepting the result of the referendum”, and that “freedom of movement would end when we leave the European Union”.
