Doesnt make logical sense. You're ignoring the will of the people that voted no in order to hear the will of the people that want to vote again?

A vote was cast. Whether it takes 2 years of 5 doesn't matter. A decision was made. Millions of people voted that may now be dead, who died with a sense of satisfaction that they believed they left a better future for their kids and grand kids with their vote. You don't get to wait 2 years for people you dont like to die so you can get your way with a revote. You can have another referendum sometime in the future - I say it should be as many years away from today as this first referendum was from when the UK originally joined the EU for fairness. In the meantime a vote was cast and it should be enacted. 

They are dead and as you said they had their satisfaction when they died. They don't care what happens afterwards, they are dead.
I value the current will of people far more than the will of the people of the past. As should everyone. By your logic, the will of the people that voted in the 1975 referendum shouldn't be ignored as well since they also believed they left a better future for their kids and grand kids with their vote.

Also if the people (= more than 50%) want another referendum and an existing or completely new party picks up the idea, guess what will happen. Right, another referendum. It could be soon it could be in the far future, who knows but everything is possible.


It wont happen. You lost, you got to learn to accept it. This is a one game finals, a not 7 game NBA series.

Wrong wrong,Were the 5th largest economy in the world and the fact we've given our fishing industries away for all those land locked eu countries 



At the General Election Labour and Conservatives both stood on a manifesto commitment to leave the EU. The party that stood on a commitment to Remain was the Lib Dems, who were wiped out. Now backbench MPs from the two major parties want to take back the promise on which they were elected to have a second referendum (which, as we all know, is only advocated by people who want to remain). So the problem isn't what was decided by the referendum but what was decided by the General Election.

The reality is that we should never have had the first referendum: the subject was too complicated for most MPs, let alone most citizens, to understand. Remainers don't really care about the views of new voters, they just think that they will vote for Remain; your average 18 year old is certainly no more informed than your average 81 year old. But if they can stack the deck they will, so that a vote that split almost down the middle that went against them will split almost down the middle to their preference. But that solves far less than they think, because stopping Brexit is not the magic bullet.

It's a nightmare ... there's literally no solution.



First vote - conservatives got into power promising the UK a referendum on leaving the European Union. 

Second vote - Referendum - Leaving European Union won

Third vote - Theresa may called for a snap General election, conservatives won again to continue position on leaving the EU 

Waaaah waaah Waaaah, we want a people's Vote, it was the Russians, leave lied, its dam right childish

That was true back in 2016.

Today France is a bigger econemy than the UK is.
Your 6th place now not 5th.
Also in terms of purchasing power parity (PPP), the UK isnt even in the top10.

With how the £ dropping and brexit, things arnt looking to improve imo.

We're not 5th mate that was a while back don't be surprised if we slip even further down as time goes on if we leave also the's more to economics than what they use to place us on such a chart for example our purchasing power is nowhere near the other big economies in the top 10, if you look at our actual situation we're actually medium economy and a lot of that comes from the finance sector where businesses from the world use us for transactions rather than our other industries and mind you the are alternatives to our financial sector for businesses so that's not very secure either.

 

Edit: Someone already pointed this out.

Democracy does work, but not with one side telling mostly lies and misleading people.



If the UK is going to be so hopelessly screwed when they leave the EU, why is the EU trying so desperately to hold onto the UK? Because they care oh so much about it's people and 'lousy' economy or because when the UK leaves and ends up just fine, or possibly better off, it will mean even more trouble for the EU and it's fed up members?
