Lockdoctor Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 Why not have a second referendum? Aren’t we all much better educated on the complexities of the subject than we were at the time of voting. I’m not saying that it would turn out differently,but who considered all the ramifications of their decision whichever way they voted. I am pretty sure that it won’t happen because May has lashed herself to the wheel of the good ship Brexit in the belief that this is her only political option. She may yet go down with the ship. Because it was made clear before the referendum, that there wouldn't be another referendum, if we voted to leave the EU. It was made perfectly clear the UK would leave the EU, if the electorate voted to leave the EU. David Cameron speech ....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I1L2T3 Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 While paying for the main meal. The decline of the UK fishing is down to the EU and NATO. Only in part. The damage was done many decades ago. ---------- Post added 05-03-2018 at 18:16 ---------- Because it was made clear before the referendum, that there wouldn't be another referendum, if we voted to leave the EU.

chalga Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 (edited) Here's an example of what our 'good friends and allies' are prepared to offer in post Brexit land trade deals. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-03-05/u-s-said-to-offer-u-k-worse-open-skies-deal-after-brexit The U.S. has offered the U.K. a more limited “Open Skies” aviation deal after Brexit than it has as a member of the European Union, but participants expressed confidence that the lucrative transatlantic market would continue unimpeded. The main stumbling block in the negotiations is that the U.S. is using its standard template for aviation agreements, which has less generous terms than its deal with the EU, according to people familiar with the matter, who asked not to be named discussing private talks. Those terms could affect transatlantic flights operated by companies such as British Airways and Virgin Atlantic.

Car Boot Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 Why not have a second referendum? The very expensive Government leaflet (which Leave voters are still paying for) sent to every household in the UK before the vote stated: The EU referendum is a once in a generation decision. It also informed us: This is your decision. The Government will implement what you decide. A vote to Leave the EU explicitly means that we will definitely be leaving the EU. We cannot have another referendum on the issue until long after we have left the bosses club. Please respect the democratic outcome of the vote.

And is the government in the process of implementing the Brexit that you voted for? Its the most depressing sequence of events from Cameron’s referendum decision onwards that has done nothing but additional harm to the Tories and in due course to the country and it’s population. I might have to live with it,but support it....never. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
