truman Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 Which again informs us that nothing much has changed since the June 2016 referendum. Although some polls were predicting that Remain was 10 points ahead of Leave just before the vote. Because the EU is determined to administer a financial punish beating to British voters for daring to vote Leave, and the predicted economic meltdown by 'experts' has failed to arrive, if there were another referendum the Leave vote would probably be much bigger than last time. Apart from Remain being in front of course... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Car Boot Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 You keep harping on about how more people want leave than ever..these polls prove you wrong.. The polls 'proved' me wrong back in June 2016 as well. I especially enjoyed the one that claimed Remain had a 10 point lead over Leave. But Leave still won the vote.

hobinfoot Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 Why are you so scared of another vote? If the remain side won a new vote would it be binding? Or would the leave side then get another vote. Then the remain side gets another chance. We'd end up with a neverendum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understood what we were voting for last time and I'm sure most others did to. I voted to remain and would do again but I'm against another referendum fo the reason I gave in an earlier post.

We'd end up with a neverendum.You mean, like general elections, council elections,...? Democracy is still the least worst option, amongst all the alternatives. As for the binding character of a second referendum, that would be entirely contingent on whether Parliament makes it so (like it did for the AV referendum) or not (like it did for the first EU referendum). (FWIW, I still highly doubt that a second referendum will be offered; but if it was, then I believe it would be made binding, precisely to try and forestall the problem you highlight) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
