If Brexiters are so confident of victory then should they accept a second referendum?

democracy is tyranny by the majority. leave is the majority.

I thought these threads would be gone by now

No, it isn't. Get back to class.

So much democracy! Particularly with our unelected PM!

I'm fed up of Brexiters.

We want a second referendum, its in the interests of the majority!

it really is. majority rules over minority and is therefore tyranny by the majority.

I'm fed up of Brexiters harping on about democracy and that there should not be a second referendum.

Well if they are so confident of Britians hatred of the EU and so passionate about democracy then they should relish a second referendum.

But the reality is Brexiters are Scared of losing. They know fine well that a lot of Brexit voters now regret what they did. Many thought it would never happen. So take them aside.
Then among the Brexit voters are some realists who never thought of the mess that we are now in that soon all that may be left of the Great Britain they love is England totally on its own, without Scotland or NI or the protection of the EU. Take them aside and you've probably got less than 40% pro Brexit and over 60% remain.

Of that 40% you've got mostly retired people who arn't worried about recessions, unemployment or loss of EU funding of vocational training and further education, that's around 20% And of course nationalists and small minded racist bigots making up the rest.

We want a second referendum, its in the interests of the majority!

We don't need to be, we have won.

What 'we' want is for you and your tedious repetitive cohorts to stfu if that isn't too much trouble. TYVM

The public may well hate brexit by 2018, love it again by 2020 and despise it again at 2023. But it's not the job of the Government to change the course of the ship after every change of public opinion. Their job is to set a long-term course which may be adjusted over the years.

Sometimes you just have to take people at their word. We can't have people changing their minds every 5 mins.



A ship that spends 5 years going forward and then 5 years going backwards is in the same spot, despite sailing for 10 years!

Referendum != Neverendum.

The matter was settled, Democratically. We remain open to the prospect of another referendum, further down the line, not RN

I watched many videos, read many pro-remain and pro-leave articles, and even people's posts on forums like this one. They all have one thing in common and that's the argument from the leave side stands up much stronger than the argument from the remain side. The democracy side of things absolutely nailed it for me. It's really weird how you can be so sure your view is the right view yet only 52% of the population share it.

I share the view that British Parliament should be held accountable for the laws and regulations imposed on the British people and that if we leave the EU we can then control these laws and regulations for our benefit within the world instead of EU controlling our trade policies etc. But a friend at work put forward a case for the EU by saying even though we pay into the EU, isn't it right that we help the other countries establish the economic power and infrastructure that we have to help the other people of Europe be on more an equal footing with us.

Does it simply depend whether you want countries to connect and become one, towards an eventual one world government (global equality?), or being a believer in sovereignty?

Amazing, the state has brainwashed this child so hard that he wants a 2nd referendum so that the electorate will give an answer that satisfies the government.

Make no mistake, we're seeing the shadow of a dystopian dictatorship here.

Or have we all lost?
