Calling for another referendum - what a surprise !

[spathiphyllum]

The reasons behind why are much more important than what appears to be the "democratic way".

[Mamyalynne]

Incoherent is how it's making me feel now.

[Dodger666]

If there is another EU referendum, I for one won't bother voting in any election ever again.

[spathiphyllum]

Dodger why do you say that? You know the two votes would be for entirely different things?

1, to leave the EU

2, how we wish to do that.

I do not see the issue.

[spathiphyllum]

We want another referendum... Not the same one!

[Canary42]

ONE referendum was a farce. TWO would be insanity.

[anneasquith]

Chaos. Who in Europe could possibly have any respect for Britain ?

[hereIam]

I don't want another referendum spath !

[Khandro]

I don't think Britain is heading for an "incoherent Brexit" it is heading for a coherent WTO Brexit, with a new prime minister and cabinet.
She is apparently offering to the EU access to UK fishing waters post Brexit in return for a deal on northern Ireland.

Up with this the British will not put!

Oh, re. the OP, no referendum required.

[Dodger666]

"Dodger why do you say that? You know the two votes would be for entirely different things"?

I say that because I have already voted to leave the EU. There should be no further referendums until the remainers get what they want.

[BANANASPLITS]

If we have Another referendum democracy goes out the window where will it stop

[spathiphyllum]

I don’t see the problem with referendums. The more say, the more knowledge on the individual ones (Eg, actual facts) the better

[andy-hughes]

These people just don't get it do they?

They start off by insulting a huge swathe of the British public by inferring that they were too thick to know what they were voting for, now, they think that because the negotiations are incomplete, and difficult, they think it's justified to run another vote!!

Idiots on and all.

[Jackdaw33]

His big brother ought to give him a smack!

[Old_Geezer]

Should anyone care ?
He can call for whatever undemocratic wish he wants. Makes no odds. Save his constituents might take note at the lack of respect he's giving the last vote.

[Old_Geezer]

"You know the two votes would be for entirely different things?"

That's a naive point of view (as I suspect you knew when you posted it for effect). The call for a second vote is to try to prevent an exit in any real sense. 'How' being the hope of agreeing a process that superficially is seeming to get us out but in reality ensuring things are not much different than being still in tge EU, wuth all the disadvantages we voted out to shake off, still in place. You convince no one.

We have made the decision, and we voted in Westminster MPs to get a government to sort the details; and they are already messing up under May in a way I'd expect you to approve of.
