Another Brexit Vote.
Can someone explain to me why Theresa May can have 2 votes and wants a third on the same thing but the public are told they had their vote on Brexit and can't have another.

Because the first was effectively an insytruction to Leave. The Brexit negotiation team and Parlaiment have failed to come up with anything yet which achieves that. The May plan was rejected by some who preferred altenatives, but as the alternatives are ruled out, i can see why she feels the need to true again to try to avoid a No Deal or an extension or Reamin request to the EU. She would have lost 3rd vote though, albeit by a lot less this time, so perhaps she is relived really
The two things aren’t the same. One is a point of parliamentary procedure going back hundreds of years. The second is a misunderstanding that another Brexit referendum would be the same as the first. Plainly it wouldn’t, but those who oppose it keep saying it. And even if it was the same, the same objections would not apply (there might be others).
May can have multiple votes until stopped because she's just following EU rules, that voters keep voting until the authorities like the answer.
We aren't having a second referendum because the decision to leave has yet to be achieved, so we have had no time to see how it settles in, and so is way way way way way too soon to be seen as weak in the eyes of the rest of the world, trying to be indecisive and flip flop, simply because some of those who lost the referendum won't accept it.

She had one supreme quality: resilience. Sadly, she lacks the other qualities that might have seen us through this: agility, creativity and a willingness to compromise. I can’t help feeling that Michael Gove might have been a much better bet. His crime was to save us from the nightmare that would have been Boris Johnson as PM.
