Just as a point of interest, if a second referendum was held and the result was the same, then what?
Would we then have a third referendum? A forth? Or what about a fifth?
Do we stop holding referendums when, eventually, we get a remain vote? How is that fair?
If this is going to be in any way revisited for a second decision, it has to be by way of general election. No other form of ballot is fair or credible under the circumstances that we now find ourselves in.
Tillson...as Trex has said a second referendum should be specifically about the economy and in particular the single market.
To try to find some common ground here...I think most people would like the idea of making and controlling our own laws...but I think Cameron was offered that in his pre vote deal.
I would also be sympathetic to controlling migration,but the government already has the power to control non EU migration and seems hopeless at that,so why do we trust them to control EU migration after Brexit. All the time the farmers say they couldnt product fresh produce without the EU labour and Jeremy Hunt had admitted that we need the best immigrants for the NHS and Sadiq Khan has said that the city of London needs special immigration access for top immigrants....we are only talking 180,000 per annum,hehe.
If you put tariff barriers between the UK and EU you will destroy our EU exports,I have done years of trade shows in the EU and am angry to see all that work written off.
Lets be honest Boris's 350 million to the NHS was a lie,those who voted that EU contributions would go to the NHS will not believe that and probably vote remain. The tally of Hammonds and Mays promises to compensate the farmers,the universities,the car assemblers etc are starting to exceed the total £11bn we pay to the EU,at present
The problem with a GE is that May will package it to suit herself,just like this Great Repeal Act has been packaged.
We have sight now of hard Brexit (specifically leaving the single market and losing our bank passporting)....let people vote on the single market and if it destroys our economy then at least we have all voted on it.
I dont think anyone voted in the first referendum to make us poorer.
If May and Davis are directed to continue leaving the EU but stay in the single market,that is what Boris has been telling us we can have,so let him get off his ....exercise his negotiating skills and prove it !!!
