Nope, but the demographic of generally angry oldish male that voted for Brexit is very much the mass makeup of the PH demographic so it's not really surprising is it?

Bunch of middle aged, whining, stbags basically.
heheroflhehe

A post typical of a naive indoctrinated angry young male that voted against Brexit; one who isn't aware that most posts on the EU negotiations threads are made by angry remainers.

Bunch of juvenile, deluded, whining, stbags basically.

heheroflhehe

Did I do it right?

If anything, this episode has shown that not only are our MP's deluded and out of touch, it has also shown that a lot of remainers are only happy with democracy when the vote goes the way they want. hehe

Vince Cable actually said if we had a new Referendum and the vote was 52/48 to Remain we should just accept it and move on.
This is what we are up against.

If the decision is the same we still need to find a way of exiting, while keeping border arrangements.
A trade deal would be useful and should help with the border issue

i.e. back to the deal on the table
No deal is the only thing that the Goverment can guarantee.
Precisely.

Haven't Parliament said they will not allow a "No Deal" outcome?. Not sure what they can do after 29th March 2019

Preferential voting. It;s not rocket science.
Preferential voting is not without flaws; it isn't widely used in the UK and many would query why it might be necessary to use it.

It's crazy. I doubt this country is geared up for democracy. We should just be controlled by a dictator and told what to do.

Such a shame that so many people have died over the years so that we have the opportunity to make a choice. The way some remainers are behaving is pathetic. Aren't they an angry lot.

I guess we need to keep having a referendum until we get the 'right' answer.

We do need a fresh start in parliament though. I doubt any of them feel bad about the way they have acted. Bunch of self serving, arrogant and out of touch plonkers.

And saint Farage said if it was that close then it was not a settled matter, so what's your point.

Which meant he would continue to campaign for a future referendum, not that he’d refuse to accept the results of this one.

Parliament says lots of things, most of which they can't achieve.

Driving home tonight, Lord Hesaltine was on LBC making a very powerful case for a People’s Vote. He was pointing out that since the 2016 vote many older predominantly Brexit voters will have died, while many young enthusiastic remain voters have reached voting age. Surely they should have a voice?

Very interesting argument from a widely respected politician.
There may be good arguments for a second bite of the cherry, but that's not one of them. He does understand how age works doesn't he? Do we say people shouldn't vote in a GE if they are over 70 as they probably won't be affected and let 13 year olds vote because they will?
So -
Tne referendum was invalid.
We voted to be in tne eu decades ago,
Tnat should obviously stand for eternity.
No matter what change in voters or circumstances.
NO UK citizen voted, or was given the chance to vote on whether or not they wanted the UK to be a member of the EU.
In 1975 they were given a referendum on whether or not they wanted the UK to remain in the EEC after already having been sold into it without asking their permission, by Edward Heaths government.
The people of the UK could not have been asked if they wanted the UK to be in the EU in 1975, because in 1975 the EU did not even exist, and there was no way that they would know then what the EU was or what it would do.
If people were asked to vote to join a cricket club in 1975, and then some years later that `club' changed ITSELF into a club for pedophiles, without asking the members if this was what they wanted , they would be screaming blue murder. Yet this would be the equivalent of what happened in 1975, and even now there are some who wish to ignore the undemocratic way the UK was taken into the EU in the first place.
The first and only time the people of the UK were given the chance to vote on whether or not they wanted the UK to be in the EU was in 2016, They voted to leave on the basis of 40 years of experience of the EU, something that was patently NOT available in 1975. And yet we have people bleating that there was not enough information available in the run up to the 2016 referendum. Absolute rubbish.
As some have stated two people can do research into the matter and come up with a different answer., I like others researched into the UK`s relationship with the EU, and came up with the answer that the UK should get out of the EU as fast as it possibly could. Nothing has enabled me to change that viewpoint.
All the posts here might be interesting, amusing even, but none of them make the slightest difference to what will happen with regard to the UK and EU, that is being decided by others, both in the UK and the EU, who actually have some jurisdiction over what will happen.
If the remainers were not willing to accept the results of the first referendum, why do they think the leavers would accept the results of a second if turns out as a remain win? Is it the case that they only want to accept the results of a referendum if it gives them the result `they' want?

WTF has Farage go to do with it he isn't an MP Cable is an elected MP. Farage has no influence on Parliament Farage has had no influence on this for 2 years but it suits you and your ilk to throw his name in to distract from the way Parliament is ignoring the will of the people.

Or you could get an education and learn what Democracy actually is instead of espousing the ignorant Propaganda instilled by your Puppet Masters. smile

There is nothing, nothing undemocratic about asking the Electorate if they are still happy to proceed down a specific path once the choices are better informed; which they undoubtedly are, to all intelligent people.

To continue to deny this, betrays a Gollum-like fear of losing what is most precious to you, even at the cost of true Democracy.

So there's nothing wrong with people campaigning for a second referendum then is there.

Ah yes, the electorate couldn't understand what they were voting for last time, so let's introduce a new voting system that they've not previously experienced for the next vote. That'll work.

yes but when you get 'no deal' you then have to go to ' how do we solve the Ireland border issue' we need a deal in place to solve it
and our big manufacturing is saying 'we need to keep a trade deal with the EU'
Both those lead to the deal on the table

At the moment the deal happens on March 29th same day as Brexit
Why go through months of turmoil to end up with the same thing?
I know - because we're British and won the war hehe

Or a third. If there were to be a third, it would be for a no deal Brexit with no unicorns or cake.

Yes, if they are seeking to avoid implementing the results of the first one.
