I'm sorry if I offended you in some way I am annoyed at all the people who don't realise that this is the choice of the people and are basically saying take the vote away from the poor.
I disagree. It's taking the vote away from the uneducated ignorants who do not understand the gravitas of the referendum.
Very sad that 2 million people don't believe in democracy.
I really don't think it's against democracy. It's more about the fact that so many people who voted leave want to change their vote or weren't truly aware of implications, etc.
It isn't undemocratic to have a second vote - with our PM, EU commissioner, and potentially countries, abandoning us, circumstances HAVE changed and inevitably people's opinions will have, too.
I doubt it will achieve anything but instead i hope it makes government not activate the leave treaty...

Lol ok, when exactly did petitioning and freedom of expression become less democratic than a lead of 3.8% of the voting population being considered a large enough to decide the entire future of our country? In what world is it democratic to put forward such a drastic motion for a population which barely half the voting public wanted -- and now a huge portion of no longer want. The referendum results do not reflect the current views of the general public, it's perfectly democratic for the public to wish for a second referendum on the topic.
Remain campaign in a nutshell. And you wonder why Leave won....
No. I think there are plenty of Remain voters who shouldn't have been allowed to vote either. There are too many people who have no idea what they've voted for. Read my response here:
Then Norway is foolish. We don't need access to the single market, and I hope we don't pay anything to get it. A simple request for free trade, with WTO terms if we don't would suffice.
If tariffs are imposed on us then we should reciprocate. W"e are net importers from the EU, so EU countries would suffer far more in a tariff exchange.
The EU does not need the UK as much as you'd like to think. The UK is fairly irrelevant without the EU in my opinion. Perhaps in 1916 you had an argument, but its 100 years down the line now. You disagree, I know, so no need to come back with Donald Trump style rhetoric about how great England is etc, so lets just agree to disagree. I'm fed up arguing about this whole thing now tbh. I've got an Irish passport, I am and always will be a citizen of Europe so long as it exists, and the way things are shaping up, it should exist longer than the UK will as we know it.
a) we haven't left yet. b) the EU is the countries within it, so that doesn't make sense.
Some nice grammar in there btw
Oh, and the Leave camp are fine ones to talk about 'copying what everyone else says'...
would have been nice to hear some counter arguments rather than irrelevant grammar nazi comments. democracy shows people disagree with you, get over it. We aren't returning to the EU.

I made 4 points, one was on grammar your point about making counter arguments is 100% hypocritical, well done.
