Ok.
But to do have a valid answer to the analogy?

Not quite sure but I suspect double standards are at play. It's almost like they've changed their minds and would like another vote.

I pointed this out on Mark Francois' (ERG whip) Facebook page a few weeks ago, asking him how it is okay for him to change his mind but not us. Earlier that day he'd said on Radio 4's The World at One that we couldn't have another vote because they (the politicians) had voted and decided against it!

The idea that democracy exists is a sham. There never was an appetite to leave the EU within the general public. It was raised and driven by a limited number of mainly Tory interested parties.
A proportion of the populace decided it was a good idea to leave. A similar proportion decided it was a good idea to remain.

The referendum question was poorly constructed (due to arrogance) and the respective campaigns all lied through their teeth.

3 years on it is evident that the reality is massively different from the lies.

The 650 chinless wonders, isolated in their Parliamentary castle, have failed to find a solution.

The population should be allowed to vote again, based upon the new evidence.

The Leavers are against a second vote purely because they fear the outcome, if they were confident that the result would be repeated.

For neutrals or remainers, common sense dictates a second referendum.

Finally, anybody listening to Mark Francois knows we should be afraid, very afraid, of putting our future in the hands of people of his ilk.

What he said, slightly edited.
Voted
Leave campaign sat into action.
No result, failed to uphold the referendum result.
Scrap and all politicians should be thrown out and another general election
to vote in a new crowd.

Here's a thought - what if there is no palatable solution? If you consider the following problems, what is an 'acceptable' level for each one:

Financial Impact - how much GDP drop is acceptable, what happens to financial pass-porting? How can we continue to export services?

Irish Border - if we come out of the EU there has to be a border somewhere, either on the Irish mainland or in the Irish sea - one breaks the Good Friday Agreement and one fractures the Union.

UK and EU expat status - there are more UK citizens living abroad and those tend to be older and more likely to need expensive health care, EU citizens in the UK tend to be younger and of a working age, do we send them all home?

Security, Scientific and Social treaties - there are so many treaties and agreements from air traffic control, security info sharing, nuclear material movement, scientific sharing etc - what happens if they all end?


What if there is no acceptable position that any responsible person will commit to in order to deliver the 'benefits' of Brexit?

Agree with all of that
Brexit is Madness
We buy things we don't need



With money we don't have



To impress people we don't even like

And when will there be a clear, lucid and BELIEVABLE definition of the " benefits" of Brexit?
