Another Referendum

[Georgiesmum]

Yet more talk about a second referendum on television tonight.Do you think we will end up and have another one?

[Spicerack]

No. The losers will just have to grow up.

[gulliver1]

Yes . the losers will just have to grow up.

[kvalidir]

I called it at the start, we have a much chance of leaving the EU as I have of becoming Pope.

[Baldric]

The Losers just don't seem to understand Democracy

[Jackdaw33]

May wouldn't dare. She'd be hunted down and torn to shreds otherwise.

[david small]

They understand democracy alright they just want the democratic response they desire.

[jno]

did anyone complain when May called an election only two years after the last one, so she could get the result she wanted?

[Georgiesmum]

I asked because apparently a lot of people that voted to leave are now having second thoughts and are worried about how it will affect their jobs .and other implications.

[Georgiesmum]

I guess only time will tell.

//Do you think we will end up and have another one? //

at this time, there's no legal machinery to permit this to happen; the act of parliament that facilitated the first referendum did not have - unlike the NI referendum of a few years back - provision for a second if circumstances changed. thus a new act will be required. what are the chances of that being voted into law? unlikely I'd have said.

[webbo3]

No.

[ToraToraTora]

all this BS is one thing but can someone tell me what it would be about if we ad one?

[Tilly2]

The same as the first one but with a different result?

A referendum isn't really democracy.
A country can't be condemned to one path because of a vote on a given day.

[Togo]

Can we have another war instead? ^^

[Tilly2]

With whom, Togo?

[Jackdaw33]

We've gone far too far down the road for this nonsense. We're leaving so the EU lovers had better get used to the idea.

It’s very possible if there’s a parliamentary impasse: in other words if parliament can’t agree on what to approve/disapprove.
Then it would be straightforward for parliament to pass another act and pass it back to the people: democracy in action, the sort of thing some people here are always whining about.
As things stand it’s not likely as of course the PM daren’t be seen to even allow for the possibility. But if the alternative was a general election against a Labour Party v probably by then promising another one anyway, well then ...

//A referendum isn't really democracy. //

The referendum had a turnout with 72% registered voter participation. The average turnout in the UK for EU MPs "elections" is around 36%, just about the same as it happens as the rest of the EUSSR. Which of these polls would you consider to be the most "democratic"?
