And doesn’t a second referendum make any future referendum simply worthless?

It's why we should have a people's vote The Brexit deal satisfies no one and solves nothing. We don't have to follow the result if it brings self harm, everyone agrees on both sides this is not what we voted for so we should have a vote on exactly what people want in full view of the possible and actual outcomes and try and deliver a deal that is the best interests of everyone Reading this crap truly makes me sick to my stomach. Nothing wrong with Brexit. Just the b******s who are negotiating it. People's vote. We had a people's vote and people voted for Brexit. You have no idea what will be best for everyone. But Brexiters know what they voted for. Out of Europe NOW.

Calling it 'the people's vote' says it all. It's like saying that those who voted Leave the first time don't really count as people. They are 'The others'. Sickening. Quite. I have had 'words' with these 'Peoples vote' campaigners and they are truly deranged plus incredibly ignorant of how the EU actually operates. Absolutely no concept of the democratic deficiencies that exist within it. And unable to even offer me a single reason why, if they get their way, I should have any faith what so ever that this would be the final vote on the issue. Because why should the result be anymore valid than the first? Merely the holding of it will be enough to plunge this country into mayhem, let alone the fall out from the result, especially in light of say a mass boycott by Leavers, which I would support whole-heartedly, so that any result is immediately hampered by a much lower turn out. I geuninely cannot comprehend why anybody would think another Leave/Remain vote achieves anything. Merely makes things even worse.

You need to get over it. How many times does it have to be said? Any second referendum will trigger lies, propaganda, misleading figures, agenda driven rhetoric etc just like the first one.

A binary choice between the May deal or No deal ?

How is anyone's understanding different to what it was at the time of the 2016 referendum? The arguments are exactly the same. The remain-voting establishment ramping up the scare stories doesn't alter anything. The one reason why the whole thing has fallen into chaos is because of the reluctance and piss-awful negotiation skills of May and her cabinet in implementing the 2016 result. A remainer Prime Minister clearly out to frustrate the process. You want to re-run a race that's already been run and won. I don't buy it. But why not? How is it any less democratic? If opinions remain the same then fine. There would be no doubt. If opinions have changed over the last two years, due to reasons that could include further information coming to light, changing demographics, changing economic outlook or changing global politics, surely it is also appropriate to find that out. I say again, it isn't the same group of voters any more. And I would be willing to guess many that didn't vote first time would vote this time Looking at it the other way around, if you don't have another vote you disenfranchise loads of people. Where is the democracy in that when these are the people with the longest term of skin in the game?

Because why should the result be anymore valid than the first? Because it would be contemporaneous, not a vote from two years ago. In any case I think it is blindingly obvious that if two votes within two years have the same outcome, it is genuinely the case that people wish this. The last vote did of course coincide with other political issues and a mass groundswell of opinion on issues not directly linked to the vote.

The first vote was the Tory Party internal politics vote. I don't think anyone can miss that point.

If you are unwilling to accept the validity of the first vote, why should anybody who voted Leave the first time around accept the validity of any further votes? Forget Leave or Remain. Ask yourself why should somebody like me actually make the effort to vote again on this issue? I did so on June 23rd in absolute good faith that my vote would be counted and the result enacted. Why should I believe that this time, it really, really, really counts?

Why should you bother? Don't be totally ridiculous. Why bother voting at general elections then, move to Turkey and there will be no point. Vote once and it's over. Your vote did count, albeit it was a non-binding vote. It is now time to ratify your decision. It is clear the UK wants to leave so give the politicians the mandate to finish the job.
