second referendum would be decisive once and for all in favour of leave, do you agree?

OG is correct. Farage does not seem to have learnt from history. He is convinced that a second referendum would result in an even wider margin in favour of Brexit. Mrs May was convinced that she was going to storm back with a crushing landslide victory. We all know what happened there.
He seems to be calling for a repeat of the first referendum.
I think very few people want that and in any case it is impossible. It's gone too far for that.
A second referendum on a deal perhaps. Which is what Tony Blair and others are calling for.

Attention-seeking does seem to be a fair description.
This is the first link I came across where he states he is broke!

Farage wants a second referendum, Juncker is against it.,

It's a mad world :-)
Question Author
Junker said Brexit was a done deal, no turning back.
“Best of 3, best of 5, best of 797 ?”

Reminds me of an episode of “Jeeves and Wooster”. It involved the annual darts match at Bertie Wooster's regular watering hole, the “Drones’ Club”. For the umpteenth time in a row the match was a draw, seven games all.

Bertie: “We can’t understand it Jeeves. We increased the number of games from ten to twelve and now to fourteen because we kept ending up in a draw. But still it happens. Do you think we’ll ever get a proper result?”

Jeeves: “One can only hope, sir. One can only hope.”
Now what could be the reason for Farage's suggestion Might it be he's missing the limelight ? He's a publicity junkie . horrible , sleezy man . IMO
And one with whose views and opinions you profoundly disagree, presumably, Ann.

It's a strange old business. I profoundly disagree with the views and opinions of Jeremy Corbyn. I believe that the damage he might inflict on the UK given the chance will make Brexit look like a vicar's garden party. But I would not stoop to personally attacking him. He seems very sincere in his beliefs and is using the democratic system to try to gain a position where he can enact them. It doesn't make him horrible or sleazy.
The man is staying true to his word.

Prior to the vote, he said that if the result were 48/52, that ‘wouldn’t be the end of it’.

What is Jeeves and Wooster???
This is surprising, coming from Farage of all people.

There is no guarantee that the British people would give produce a second vote to leave, considering how close it was last time.

After all, only 51.89% of the 72.21% that voted, voted to leave.

If enough evidence comes to exist, that a large enough percentage now say that they don't want to leave, than I would support a second Referendum. But I don't see that we have reached that situation yet.
For some, if the result were 99/01, that ‘wouldn’t be the end of it’.
//What is Jeeves and Wooster?//

Philistine. Never heard of P.G. Wodehouse?
Can i just butt in to say - Fantastic series , is Jeeves & Wooster - parts played brilliantly , by Hugh Laurie and Stephen Fry .

Right , i'll leave you guys to debate these important political matters of the era
The books are some of the finest comedic writing in the English language, if not the finest.
“What is Jeeves and Wooster???”

Touché, sp :-)

I don’t think sp is demonstrating Philistine tendencies, JD. I have a history of failing to recognise “well known celebrities and Thespians” when they are mentioned here on AB. I think sp has seized the opportunity to serve up some just desserts! (Or I may be wrong!)

“If enough evidence comes to exist, that a large enough percentage now say that they don't want to leave, than I would support a second Referendum.”

But not if evidence suggested that at least as great a proportion, or possibly higher, would still vote to Leave, Mikey? Have you been to an EU symposium on “getting the right result” lately? In any case, what happens if the second vote results in the score being one all? Does the second vote swing it because it is more recent and/or more palatable? Supposing eighteen months after the second vote, there is evidence to suggest that the electorate has changed its mind again? A third vote? And what if….. (I’m sure you get my drift).
NJ....despite there being a lot of wind and fury on this issue, I have yet to see that there is enough evidence to show that the people have changed there minds significantly, from 23rd June 2016, on way of the other.

We can't keep having the same Referendum, every few months.
Question Author
which is why it makes all the more strange that Farage is suggesting it, why?
That's what's baffling me too. If a bet comes up a wise man will take his money and leave. He won't risk his winnings on a second bet.
