How exactly is having a further vote on the specifics of Brexit, having learnt a great deal more about what it entails anti-democratic? Surely the argument for leaving has been comprehensively won after thee years? So why are so many leavers terrified it seems at giving the final seal of approval back to the ahem people?
Also if a majority of people decided after a vote to put their hands into a fire, how exactly is that the right thing to do? The bizarre wish to make our lives more difficult ‘cuz we voted for it’ suggests we have a country full of masochists.
Let’s say we did have a 2nd referendum and the vote was exactly replicated, do you think remainers would be any more happy or likely to accept the result?
If it went the other way but just as narrowly, wouldn’t leavers be entirely justified in agitating very forcefully for another referendum?
A 2nd vote will do nothing to resolve the issue and division
